About Me

Enjoying it here and now.

Thanks to my parents who taught me honesty, sincerity, affection, empathy and sharing.

Live and let live :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is giving and receiving. I have received a lot from all those who have hosted or accompanied me in a meeting, party or trip.
I feel full of pleasure helping others giving couch to the hungry couchsurfer, teaching, showing or playing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I no longer consider travelling without using this website. Just thinking about another kind of philosophy on a trip doesn't come into my head. I need to find out more about the place and the people who make it up.

Interests

Mountain biking, trekking, travelling and backpacking around the world.
Also I love listen electronic music, dance in concerts and clubs. I do often visits to expositions and museums. And why not photograph the most beautiful things of this world?

I can feel as much at ease in a noisy club dancing on some electronic sounds as in the middle of nowhere as soon as I get a ride on my mountain bike or hiking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't deny the view I have from my window but a rainbow on the Urubamba River (Peru) on my way to Machu Picchu, the top of Matagalls (Catalonia) accompanied by two birds and the whisper of the wind, wet my aching feet in the icy waters of a river in Galicia a few kilometers from Santiago de Compostela while doing "El Camino de Santiago", the infinite peaks that were glimpsed from the top of one of the peaks of the Tatry Mountains (Poland) and the silence during a jump as I rode my bike at full speed along the most secret paths of the forest...it's not bad either.

I've experienced something amazing that makes me feel electricity in my body during the live music with theatre and video art show "Cities change the songs of birds" by Jacob Ter Veldhuis at Bimhuis in Amsterdam.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm glad to meet and receive people from around the world who are open minded to share time and fun.
It's a pleasure for me to teach Spanish or Catalan languages or share a bike ride or going to hike to the mountains.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First a comfy, warm and quiet place to stay.

And after work I can offer to share my time talking and sharing good beer, watching good movies or hiking/mountain biking.
