About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living all my dreams...

ABOUT ME
I'm a dreamer.
I would love to meet local special people of Barcelona and from all around the world. I want to listen to new stories about life and travels, go walking, biking, watch some movie or have a beer with some live music...

Living barefoot forever is my life aim but as at the moment I live in a City, maybe is not such a cool idea :)
I'm curious, I'm creative, I spend most of my days thinking about ideas I have and trying to realize all of them!! I'm interesting almost in everything... but please don't talk about football! I'm a bit shy in the beginning (and sometimes I hate do be like that) but I think I'm a kind person, generous and open-minded. I LOVE the sea, and try to be as closed as possible to it and when I can't, I miss it. I love walking in the Swiss forests in autumn, looking for interesting things that capture my curiosity and are perfect to be photographed. I love biking in Barcelona (and the noise of the tils that are not well glued) and all over the world. I'm definetely an outdoor person.
In my home, we've always had very interesting people related to art, that aspect influenced me a lot. My mother is a garden addicted and I took from her the passion to care plants and flowers. I love baking, I was working for a while in a bakery in Mexico and I loved it. I always cook for my friend - not always succesfully - but they seem to appreciate it... or they lie very good!

PHILOSOPHY

After I will have seen what the World is offering me, I will make my choices

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a matrass in my small but cozy livingroom in my flat in the Centre of Barcelona (Heart of Raval). There are 115 steps to get there, but the views over Barcelona that you have from my terrace are just amazing!!
I am out all day long as I started managing my business, so you are free to come in and out whenever you like.
We can have dinner together at night, after 20, when I'm back from work.
I would be so grateful if the person that is staying with me would help me in doing some small work in my flat... like painting the walls, fixing some things, arranging some electricity cable, etc... would be just amazing to have a handyman/girl!!
I accept only people wih minimum 35 years old.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some good, some great, some excellent!!! Once I was in Lanaii (Hawaii) with Couchsurfing... and I swam with 100 dolphins!

Interests

Arts, creating and inventing things, SKETCH BOOKS - I love them!!, photography, travels, cooking and baking, gardening, gardens, vertical gardens, flowers, trees, beeing near the sea, listening to the waves, thinking, painting, drawing, THE NATURE, animals, strange animals!!!, running, biking, I LOVE THE SILENCE THAT SNOW CREATES ALL AROUND :), I love being barefoot, chocolate, coffee in the morning, cleaning the tumbler filter from dust, looking into the water, listening to the rain, supermarkets (better those abroad), illustrations, colours, cultures, free whales, recycled objects, orchids, carnivorous plants and sooo many things more!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Tulum (Mexico) at night, I was walking back to the Hostel with two friends and we saw at the beach by chance, the birth of baby turtles :)
A temazcal in Isla Holbox (Mexico).
Stars in Amazonia!!! Wowwwwwwwwwwww!!! Do you know that the sky is just FULL AND FULL OF STARS?
The ruins of Tikal (Guatemala) at 6 in the morning with monkeys and tucans all around (well just one tucan to be honest) and the sounds coming out from the fog.
Kauai Island (Hawaii) and the Napali Coast
Swimming in Lanai (Hawaii) with 100 dolphins around and below me (I could do this thank to Alexi, the amazing Couchsurfer thas host me on the island!!!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make the best chocolate cake ever or a good pizza or a risotto, how to take care of your plants and flowers (not plastic ones :) :) ), I can show you a good perspective to make a nice picture shot but not how to use a good camera as I'm still learning how to use mine hehehe, how to make your own place more coloured and pleasant to live, I can help you to make your Hostel, Hotel or B&B more attractive and interesting for the guests, I can teach you how to make a palm leafs grasshopper and a bird :)
About learning I have so many things to write that probably the remaining place is not enough: my priority now is to learn Portugeuse, I'd love to learn salsa, bachata, to make wires handicrafts, internationals dishes, knowing more languages, sign language, diving, surfing, kitesurfing, snowboard, so many things more....
Share a book, share a bunch, share my home (when I will have my own one) or exchanging it with someone's home, share opinions, share Mate tea, share a cloth, share a piece of cake, a smile a hug

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will be glad to have a coffee or a beer to get to know better eachother and show you my favorite places in Barcelona... and if we have a good feeling maybe I can offer you my couch.
