About Me

I'm a journalist who at the moment is not travelling nor able to accept anyone to couchsurf... Sorry!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I have to be trustful. I started this Couchsurfing adventure because I would like not only the crashing-for-free experience (a-hem!) but I like to live and understand the better of the places where I am going via direct contact with the people who's living onsite.
When I am not travelling, I am keen to have anyone, when possible. (as I stated before, I'm not at the moment, sorry again!)
Although, hospitality is a very deep-rooted value on my family, so I can have my couch available when settled down, for sure! (I have to say as well that one of my favorite things to do is to show the places where I am living to the foreigners)

Interests

I am very into writing right now. Much more than reading. I have to say that on 2014 I have read only a couple of books, while I have published around 100 articles of more than 100 words. It's not that I don't like to read, it's just that I am very picky with my readings!
I like photography, too.
That's funny, both of these things are part of my job... maybe I am becoming a workaholic... ugh.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kind of music. From hip-hop to folk going through house, dance, ska, rumbeta catalana, to all kind of jazz... I am not very into classical music, I know the basics and some baroque pieces. Same on opera. But I just can't stand reggaeton when I'm sober.
Movies: Again, I can start and I won't stop until I die.
Books: Palhaniuk, Kafka, Jaïr Domínguez, Zweig, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saved the life of a girl who has trying to commit suicide jumping out from the Story Bridge in Brisbane, Australia. So close. I don't know what happened with her after that because the police took her to a mental hospital.
Another amazing thing I did was reporting about a riot in Barcelona. So close again. A stone flew over my head and if it was not for a friend of mine who pushed my head down I guess I wouldn't be able to write this now.
