About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life with humans and beings I love, travel world-wide, meet local cultures, make art with passion and share it.

ABOUT ME

I was born in a small town on the Mediterranean. I studied in Barcelona for 5 years and for the last year and a half I was in Leipzig finishing my diploma in the painting art school there. After I hitchhiked from Spain to Hong Kong as an art project (that was pretty crazy :D)
I've been living and doing projects in NYC, Paris, La Habana and Bogotá. And currently I'm based in my hometown Calonge; a small and calm town in north Spain next to the sea.

I'm interested in meeting new cultures, travel around, find myself in situations that I didn't expect before.

I like to visit museum, discover local food spots, to draw, going to the cinema and to listen music. I enjoy myself contemplating landscapes and walking around unusal places alone and with friends.
I'm a fan of painting and I love to spend time with funny, curious and interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

Copy to learn, Learn to copy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first used CS in 2012, as I came to Germany to visit the documenta(13) with some friends. Next year, as I set down in Leipzig, started hosting too. I still find hard to believe that there are so many wonderful people welcoming strangers in their homes, spending time with them, sharing their experience...
I've been hosted several times in Europe and Central Asia. An awsome expierience in a lots of ways

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Really good!
I had some great and interesting experiences traveling in Europe with friends and it always worked out pretty well. Makes me happy to think that CS it stills a possibility of traveling nowadays,

Its one of the most powerful experiences ever had
