I am a yoga teacher, artist, and translator based in Barcelona. I also paint, bike and drink a lot of tea. I love swimming in the ocean, doing acroyoga, dancing, ( especially to afrobeats/ hiphop/ cumbia/ soul/trap/ dancehall/ psych / triphop music) sunshine, laughter, beaches, unexpected tonal contrasts, edible flowers, color, mandalas, cooking, tattoos, movement culture in general and thai massage.

I´ve spent more than a third of my life living outside my home country, and love travelling. I have been mostly in Spain since 2005, and spent a year teaching English in Japan as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think its important for us to keep open minds and open homes, as what makes travel so special are the people we meet, and create social exchange/possibilities for people to share that are budget friendly and permit us to meet the people our life wants us to cross paths with.

Interests

The last few years i´ve been more and more into dance, movement culture and massage. Long time organic agriculture freak, tea drinker, yogi, bike commuter, sacred geometry lover....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned how to ride a bike at 22, and how to cartwheel at the age of 30. We do incredible stuff every day, but only ocasionally do our efforts convert in milestones worthy of note. The amazing part is that we have the discipline to mistep 100 times to reach our goals.
