Hi fellow travellers! My name is Den and I'm from London. I'm a yoga teacher and I also write poetry and fiction. I'm currently working on a novel, which has already had some interest from a large publishing house but I have to finish it first! I've been travelling around Spain and have fallen in love with Barcelona and would like to make it my home till next summer or longer. I'm basically looking for kind people who can put me up for anything from a week to a month while I sort out work and accommodation and get myself fully integrated into Barcelona life. I'm also trying to learn more Spanish!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have fallen in love with Barcelona and I want to stay here for a while. I need friendly and kind people to stay with while I sort out work and accommodation for myself. I'm looking for people who can host me for anything from a week to a month.

Interests

I have a lot of interests. I'm basically interested in in everything. Different cultures, languages, travel, writing, reading, comics, art, music. I like to sing and I write songs. I'd really like to learn guitar at some point, it's on my list of things to do before I die. I'm sure I'll get round to it. I'm very sociable and like to be around good people, have long chats about how life and how to make the world a better place. I practice yoga regularly, almost everyday and mediate also. I'm always interested in learning new things, meeting new people and having new experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really do favourites. Everything's is beautiful why choose just one of many pleasures? So instead I can tell you...

Last three books I've read:
Ready Player One, Ernest Cline
Seed to Harvest, Octavia Butler
After the Flood, Margaret Atwood

And I have an ongoing battle through Women Who Run With the Wolves, which I can only read slowly because there is so much in it to digest and learn.

Last three music genres I've listened to:
Rap
Old Skool rnb
Afrobeat
Currently on heavy rotation: Solange Knowles' latest album
And for dancing I like Funky house and uplifting beats.

Last two movies watched ( I don't have much time for sitting around):
The Lobster
Odd Tom

I mainly like SciFi and fantasy movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning to teach yoga was pretty badass.
And I went on my first Vipassana 10 day silent mediation retreat last year and that was crazy! Ask me about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach yoga and mediation, so of course I'd be happy to teach you if you're into it. And I'm always up for artistic collaborations. I like to write in response to other artists work, so if you whatever creative expression you're into we could work out ways for your art and my art to talk to each other and create even more art.

I want to learn more Spanish and I'd be happy to do a language exchange.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share life, stories, interests, everything! Oh, and I really like food and cooking, so if you have any new recipes to share, I definitely have some.
