Hey there! My name is Raquel and I was born in Barcelona (Catalonia). After graduating in both Journalism and Political Science I decided to pursue my dream and live abroad. So here I am in Kolkata, where I am studying Human Rights and Human Development under one scholarship scheme. The main goal of this experience is to broaden my horizons, so I am always ready to travel or to go to grab some beer (or coffee, or tea, or shingara, or whatever the food!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
