About Me

I am a Jazz Musician from Barcelona currently living in the Netherlands.

After getting my degree in Physics in Universitat de Barcelona I realized that science was not for me and decided to go for the music .... which is what I really love.
I am really passionate about my job (music) and about arts in general.
I would say I am an easy going person who usually gets along with everyone ... i am quite flexible and respectful towards others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am totally new in Couchsurfing!!
Due to my job I travel quite often around Europe.
I usually try to stay at friends' places or ask if they know someone in the city i am visiting.
I think Couchsurfing can be a nice way to meet new and interesting people in the places that I will visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite kind of music is jazz for sure. Lately I have been listening a lot to Kenny Garret, Robert Glasper, Wynton and Branford Marsalis.
Of course I do also like other kinds of music. I find Funk and groovy music specially nice to have party!!
Thanks to my Couchsurfing friend (Jose Serrano) I have also learned a lot of super interesting brazilian Music!!
I do also like a lot cinema. I am not that much into blockbusters .... though I have to admit that from time to time i eat pop corn while watching silly movies.
I specially like directors like Clint Eastwood, Ridley Scott, Stanley Kubrick and a lot more.... (but these nes are probablly my favourites)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach music .... actually I teach guitar professionally :)
I can also teach a bit of spanish and catalan (it may be interesting if you are planning to visit Barcelona)
I do believe that you can always learn something from everyone. I specially would like to learn to cook foreign food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a mattress on the flor in the living room.
I live in an small appartment with separate bedroom and living room and a nice backyard. Ideal for barbecues when the weather is goood enough (unfortunately in this country this doesn't happen that often).

I work as a musician and my schedules are always a bit unpredictable. When I have free time I like to cook and going out.
If you come to my place I would strongly reccomend you to rent a bike. I only have mine and, although there are buses to go to Rotterdam Centraal, at night the public transport stops relatively early.
