Me llaman Merche, tengo 27 años, nací y me crié en Barcelona. Soy médico, pero me tomo largas pausas entre periodos de trabajo para salir a conocer el mundo y hacer trabajo voluntario.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My plan is to visit as many places as possible, meeting the culture and the people. Couchsurfing seems the best way to do it!

Interests

I like animals and people (in this order!), I'm passionate of nature and open air sports; I practice many of them! I'm keen on surfing, windsurfing, horse riding, climbing, hiking...so yes, I'm a sporty girl.
I also like the city life and the party (there's a time for everything). I love visiting museums, going to the cinema and just walking around. And electronic music parties.
I love reading, listening to music and writing. I'm trying to learn how to play the guitar... (with low success).

I've been practicing contemporary dance for many years; it's awesome for keeping your body fit and flexible and your mind relaxed and creative!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in the third year of medicine, I decided to go by my own to Tamale, a small town in Ghana, for a summer. There I was doing practices in the Tamale Teaching Hospital, in the labour ward. Definitely a life experience, where I learnt a lot about life, a lot about people and a lot about medicine
