🌎 Hi, I'm Berta! 27 · Travel Enthusiast · Adaptable Explorer
Curious about cultures, languages, and people who bring places to life.

✨ Who I Am
I thrive on authentic connections and learning through travel. My essentials:
- Cultural curiosity: Passionate about Spanish, linguistics, and how languages shape our world
- Nature & animals: Love slow hikes, wildlife spotting, and ocean swims
- Swimming addict: A daily dip keeps me energized (pools, lakes, or seas – I'm in!)

🦯 My Story

At 16, I rewrote my story: trauma taught me to walk again. Today, I roam the world with resilience and an elegant cane – my chic sidekick and reminder that limits are just invitations to innovate 💃🏻🩼 sometimes I can use a wheelchair if the distance between some places is big. I am adventure adapted.

⚠️ Quick Notes
- Waking up early ≠ my friend ☕ (I function best post-brunch!)
- Politics-free zone 🚫 (Let's debate tapas and flamenco instead!)

🔍 Seeking Hosts Who:
- Appreciate cane-friendly routes
- Know local nature gems (forests/lakes/cafes)
- Value real talk over small talk
- Want to share quality time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel and to make friends!

I believe the best way to understand a place is through its people. Hotels give you a bed, but hosts give you stories, local secrets, and genuine connections. As someone who values cultural exchange over tourist checklists, I love how Couchsurfing turns strangers into friends and cities into homes.

Creating those unplanned, unforgettable memories that only happen when you travel with an open heart

I'm here for the kind of travel that leaves you richer in friends than miles logged - the type where you arrive as a guest but leave as part of someone's story
