About Me

We are a friendly and opend-minded couple who love discovering new cultures, making new friends, and meeting new people that can show us things we would not normally see.

We are currently travelling around the world, so we wont be able to host you in Barcelona...but we can meet you up in your country!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Lonely planet is Ok buuuuuut meeting locals everywhere you go is a colorful experience that we wont miss.
We love meeting people as much as we love travelling, and therefore we decided to join the CS family!

We already had an independient CS account for each of us...However, as we are travelling together we decided to create a 2 in 1 CS profile.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of our favourite movies are from Ghibli Studio, Cartoon Saloon. However, we don't watch too many movies since we don't own a TV :P

We love adventure books as James Clavell's Asian Saga books (definitely, Shōgun is an epic book), Harry Potter's world, The Lord of the Rings (lvan loves The Hobbit...but Alba hates it...) :O

Hummm, music... we are open to everything and even better if it is live music!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycling around Ireland with a tent.
Perfom a surgery in a tiger.
Painting the walls of the place we were living in, and still doing it now we are adults.... (trust me, pretty impressive...).
Selling our handmade stuff in a street market, and people bought it!!
Coocking and eating Icelandic Christmas food. (if you have been there for Chistmas, you would appreciate this).
Wandering in the australian outback with camels for a month.
Getting completely lost in a jungle with dangerous wild animals and incredibly high cliffs and luckily we survived!

Teach, Learn, Share

We like cooking, we can try to do something special or a crazy fusion meal with our knowledge and whatever we find at the market
Ivan worked as a carpenter for a while, and we both love doing DIY stuff.
We love to do handmade jewelry, we would love to learn and to teach
We draw our own adventures! maybe you can be the main character of one of them! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Our time, our laughs, our friendship....and a drink (whatever you call a friendshipmaking-beverage) :)
We really like visiting off the beaten track places and teaching/learning new stuff, so if you have time enough to share with us you wont regret that!
