About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Recreate myself everyday

ABOUT ME

It's always hard to start something like this, as the first thing you'll say is not necessarily the most important one; so I warn you, this is gonna be kind of a mess and I am, sometimes, so it could be one more quality...

I am cheerful, laid-back, curious, good-listener; not so much of a hard worker, although I like what I do and I always try to do my best; I think I am a good friend, I am respectful and try to help others whenever I can... oh, I am also a music addict, really, it's like a drug to me...

I come from Lleida, near Barcelona, but have lived in Berlin for more than two years now; I love knowing new places and new people and I love this city so much, I feel I could stay here for ever, as long as I can travel every now and then, but who knows, sometimes I feel like Mary Poppins and think the wind's gonna take me to my next destination :)

PHILOSOPHY

That's all we have, right here, right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mainly host and show around the city, when i have the time...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since I started, in March 2009, until now I have been mainly hosting, I have had over 60 people at home and I feel that every little experience has brought me something new; I love this way of travelling and knowing people from other places and cultures or from my own... through my guests I see that the way you get to know the city when you couchsurf is completely different from what you get to know staying in a hostel or elsewhere... i've surfed a couple of couches and it's always been great, i hope i'll be able to do it again very soon, wherever life takes me :)
