About Me

Who am I?
-----------------------------
I'm an adventurous and active guy from Barcelona who wants to discover new places, learn different cultures and nice people around the world! I'd like to discover striking activities while travelling.

Don't worry if you haven't jumped off any cliff, or you haven't bathed among cocodriles, or you are just a quiet traveller doing selfies with your backpack wherever you are: all of us have something amazing to explain in its childhood, travells and national life.

If I could host someday you, I will be interested in your dreams, how you contribute to the society and this good community network.

I'm very interested in discovering new hidden and secret lairs, so I always try to be very open-minded and flexible about the plans.

Couchsurfing has given the opportunity to share knowledge and friendships between people around the world, two of the most important things that we have where only health probably is more important than them.

Hobbies
-----------------------------
Travelling: I can't believe it. I'm in Couchsurfing and I like it. Travelling is always a good opportunity to grow.

Sports: I was playing handball and football during several years. I did judo too. Now I'm trying to get fit by going (sometimes) to the gym and jogging. I haven't done a lot of trekking, but it is one activity that I enjoy a lot.

Culture: Museums, paintings, buildings, ... all of them are history about ourselves, and they are fantastic to learn.

Videogames: PS4 (Fifa, Tekken, Final Fantasy, Spiderman, ...), Nintendo Switch (Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, ...), .... probably if you say me one name I know it, and maybe I have played and passed it. Now I'm submerged to Clash Royale and Pokemon Go which are mobile phone games.

Boardgames: In the past I was playing officialy chess (and I was not bad!). Now I play go and several different type of board games like Carcassone, King of Tokyo, Game of Thrones, Munchkin, .... of course, I'm interested in any strategy game that you can challenge me!

Social Networks
-----------------------------
I share my social networks if any wants more information about me (and I'm not a bot).

Someday I will have a blog of travelling :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in Couchsurfing to know people around the world to share cultures, discover new places and learn each other while enjoying our time.

My main objective is generating good experiencies for all of us. It is funnier to enjoy your travel with new friends who moreover you can learn than going to any hotel of five stars.

I love the idea of meeting like strangers, leaving like friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a simple guy with his passions and fears, but let's see if I can "impress" you with something:

Travelling
- Travelling by my own for all Switzerland. Amazing country, landscapes, waterfalls, ... feeling only myself.

Personal
- Arrive to the top of a mountain in Barcelona when raining, and see the lights of the houses and understand the lucky of living here.
- Watch Game of Thrones without crying for every stupid final every episode sometimes it has.
- Taking care of a pigeon nest when it was attacked by an evil scavenger.
- Drinking consecutively like 6 shots of absenta one night and survive.
- Believe that I could finish my studies and I can work in something that I like it.
- Believe in myself when everything was lost, and finally being succeded.

Teach, Learn, Share

- Languages: Spanish and Catalan

- Science and Logic: Maths and Informatics are subjects that I know well. We can philosophize about the life together as well.

- Games: I can help you to win Clash Royale.

- Any "skill" or sport that I enjoy and I could teach it.

- I can try to help about anything that anybody asks to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- My company and my help with their home tasks.

- My previous "skills" and anything I could offer to the host to make our stay funnier.

- Motivation to any challenge that we could have.
