    Description

    Hello! My name is Doa, and I'm expecting a baby in November (single-parent). I live in a spacious, bright, and newly renovated apartment in a central but very quiet area of the city. I would like to host someone who wants to share this special stage with me, helping me with some everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and tidying. I greatly value cultural exchange and love learning about other ways of living, cooking, and thinking. I'm especially interested in learning about the experiences of other women or people who have experienced motherhood in different cultures. I'm also open to sharing my daily life, my language, and showing you the city from a local perspective. You'll have your own newly renovated and equipped room in a quiet environment. If you have knowledge or experience related to pregnancy, self-care, or are simply interested in sharing time with someone at this stage of their life, I'd love to meet you!

    ¡Hola! Me llamo Doa y estoy esperando un bebé para noviembre (monomarental). Vivo en un piso amplio, luminoso y recién reformado, en una zona céntrica pero muy tranquila de la ciudad.
    Me gustaría recibir a una persona que quiera compartir conmigo esta etapa tan especial, ayudándome con algunas tareas cotidianas como cocinar, limpiar y ordenar.
    Valoro mucho el intercambio cultural y me encanta aprender sobre otras formas de vivir, cocinar, pensar... Me interesa especialmente conocer experiencias de otras mujeres o personas que hayan vivido maternidades en diferentes culturas. También estoy abierta a compartir mi día a día, mi idioma, y mostrarte la ciudad desde una perspectiva local.
    Tendrás tu propia habitación recién reformada y equipada, en un ambiente tranquilo.
    Si tienes conocimientos o experiencias relacionadas con el embarazo, el cuidado personal o simplemente te interesa compartir tiempo con alguien en este momento de su vida, ¡me encantará conocerte!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I love music. Playing it and dancing to it! I mainly play percussion, sing, and play a little guitar. I don't play when I might be in the way. I try to play when I'm alone or away from home. If you like music, we can have a great time. I can also recommend places to listen to good music and dance! I've traveled quite a bit and have loved staying with locals. I love learning about the worlds of other cultures and countries. I find conversations about differences in customs, food, ways of seeing relationships and life fascinating. I speak Catalan, Spanish, English, Portuguese, Galician, and a little French.

    Me encanta la música. Tocarla y bailarla! Toco sobretodo percusión, canto y toco un poco la guitarra. No toco en horas en que pueda molestar. Intento hacerlo cuando estoy sola o fuera de casa. Si te gusta la música podemos pasarlo muy bien. Puedo también aconsejar lugares donde escuchar buena musica y bailar!
    He viajado bastante y me ha encantado cuando me he quedado en casa de personas locales.
    Me encanta conocer los mundos que se viven en otras culturas y países. Las conversaciones sobre diferencias entre costumbres, comida, modo de ver las relaciones y la vida me parecen fascinantes.
    Hablo catalán, español, inglés, portugués, gallego y un poco de francés.

    I'm looking for someone to help me around the house: cleaning, cooking, shopping... I have celiac disease, so the food is gluten-free. If you know anything about labor or postpartum, that would be great!

    Busco a alguien que me eche una mano en casa: limpiar, cocinar, hacer la compra… Tengo celiaquia, por lo que la comida es sin gluten.
    Si sabes de parto o posparto, ¡me vendría genial!

    I live in a spacious and very bright apartment in a modernist style, recently renovated with great care. It's right in the center of the Eixample district, steps from shops, bars, markets, and cultural life, yet on a super-quiet street where you can breathe peace. It's the perfect balance between the hustle and bustle of the city and a peaceful place to relax. Being in the center, it's very well connected and has all kinds of transportation options to get around the city and beyond. You can go to the beach, the mountains, or any neighborhood.

    Vivo en un piso amplio y muy luminoso, con estilo modernista, recién reformado con mucho cariño. Está en pleno centro (Barrio Eixample), a pasos de tiendas, bares, mercados y vida cultural, pero en una calle súper tranquila donde se respira paz. Es el equilibrio perfecto entre el movimiento de la ciudad y un hogar tranquilo para descansar.
    Al ser en el centro, esta muy bien comunicada y tiene todo tipo de transportes para moverte dentro y fuera de la ciudad. Para ir a la playa, a la montaña o cualquier barrio.

    I have celiac disease. That's why the house is gluten-free. We can discuss some exceptions, with a commitment to be very careful.
