ABOUT ME

¡Hola! Soy Cat, un estudiante de ciencia política de la Universidad de California en San Diego. Ahora estoy estudiando para el semestre en la Universidad de Barcelona y viviendo en el barrio de Gracia. Quiero aprovechar este tiempo corto que tengo en Barcelona para praticar el español, conocer a nuevas amigas y aprender de las culturas de Catalunya y España. También quiero viajar un poco por Europa así estaré buscando lugares para quedar en estas viajes.

Hey! I'm Cat, a political science student from the University of California in San Diego. Right now I'm studying abroad for the semester at the University of Barcelona and living in the Gracia neighborhood of Barcelona. I want to take advantage of my short time in Barcelona by practicing my Spanish, making new friends and learning about the cultures of Catalonia and Spain. I also want to travel a bit around Europe so I will be looking for couches for those trips.

PHILOSOPHY

Push yourself outside your comfort zone!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ahora participo en couchsurfing principalmente para conocer a gente nueva en Barcelona. También estaré viajando por Europa así quiero usarlo para buscar un couch en estes viajes. Vivo con cuatro personas más así no puedo alojar gente en mi piso.

Right now I am participating in couchsurfing primarily to get know new people in Barcelona. I also plan on travelling through Europe so I also want to use it to find couches on these trips. I live with four other people so I unfortunately can't host couchsurfers at my place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had much couchsurfing experience yet. I've only connected with people in Barcelona for intercambios so far, but I am excited to actually start couchsurfing on my travels!
