Hello! My name is Marta and I am from Barcelona. I am a communicator for institutions dedicated to human development. I work in a Foundation that is dedicated to providing help to vulnerable sectors of society, specifically refugees and mental health patients. I previously worked in a women's rights NGO in Guatemala.
After 10 years living abroad, I have returned to my hometown. I live alone in a 2-bedroom apartment, so I am available to accommodate travelers in Barcelona.

I consider myself a happy person, I really like to talk non-stop, but I also enjoy moments of solitude and silence. I love the cinema, watching movies on the couch, listening to music at home or in a bar. I love walking and hiking. And I consider myself crazy about gastronomy.

I prefer to host only one woman at a time, but can contemplate hosting couples. Send your request and if I am available I will answer you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel around and share time with other individuals. I joined Couchsurfing long ago and hosted in Barcelona for a while. I also have been hosted by lovely people around my trips. I love CS community and I am moved by the aim of helping people.
