About Me

Hi! I'm David from Barcelona but proud to be half Scottish!

I'm currently hooked on travelling with my girlfriend, never found someone who shares such a big passion for exploring and going on adventures as her and living at more than 1000kms from each other make our trips special and are what brings us joy and literally together!

I'm a freelance full-time filmmaker and also photographer, couldn't be more grateful to work in something which is my passion and enables me the flexibility to travel as I lived and worked in Bristol, UK for a year and also have filmed all around Europe.

I really like to combine my passions with travel, so I love photography, hiking, surfing and so many things that enable me to discover places in so many ways and appreciate it to a greater extent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I'm technically new to this...
I've been travelling on a budget for years and have done Couchsurfing a few times tagging along with friends and loved the experience, so this time wanted to jump into the adventure with my girlfriend and experience properly Couchsurfing and one of the truest forms of travelling getting to know locals and sharing moments.
Can't wait to start this journey and meet amazing people!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always straight off the bat like to share my British type of humour, but if that isn't a match, I really like having great conversations and sorry if I ask lots of questions but I'm always so curious and want to know about everything!

I'll be happy to cook some Spanish dishes and I'd love to also talk about all my passions to see if we have something in common.
I'm a geek for card games with a poker deck, so more than happy to explain and share some laughs over a beer.

On more useful terms... I could help and share my knowledge for technology and I'm more than happy to take a portrait of you for your Tinder or LinkedIn!
If you are single, married, live with friends or even have a big family, I've done it before and I'm a professional, so I'd love you to have a memory captured through my lens :)
(And maybe with you being my first host I'll start a series capturing my Couchsurfing experiences)
//If you are shy I can take amazing pictures of your house or flat for the site!
