Oi! Spanish guy from the basque coast living in Germany. Recently relocated to Berlin from Munich.

Hit me up to discover the city together!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Too new to know, but I guess I'm trying to have at home that easiness to meet and connect with people when being abroad.

Centres d'intérêt

Quite into photography, I always carry my film camera whenever I travel. I love to discover and capture the culture and people of all the places I go to, I find photography to be a great tool for this :) I've posted couple of shots I've done here, feel free to check out my instagram for more (ig: josebatellaeche)

Apart from photography, I'm really into design and any form of art.

• arts
• literature
• festivals
• technology
• movies
• traveling
• music
• surfing
• philosophy
• film photography
• exhibitions
• ambient

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Instead of dumping the names of a bunch of artists, albums, movies, directors and authors, I'll try to make some top 5's of my favourite stuff at the moment (maybe throw some random comments in there as well).

Top Movies:
1. La Grande Bellezza (by Sorrentino, favourite active director)
2. Chungking Express (Visual Masterpiece)
3. The Graduate (In the top of the list since I saw it when I was 18)
4. Blue Velvet
5. The Hunt (Got into Dogma 95 with this one)

Top Books:
1. Post Office
2. The Stranger
3. Brave New World
4. Slaughterhouse-Five
5. Luce de Bohemia

With music I'm really struggling to do a top 5 as I listen to a lot of stuff from ambient to psychedelic rock, so I'll just go with the artists I'm listening the most right now (excuse the inconsistency :/)

Top Artists:
1. Nicolas Jaar
2. Elliot Smith
3. Bon Iver
4. Car Seat Headrest
5. Junior Boys

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Too self-critical to fill this one out

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I'm fairly new to the city so assuming the role of a guide wouldn't be really wise haha. I'd share any experience around Berlin with you, from going to some badass techno parties to walking around the city discovering new cafes or bars.

Sharing some conversations about travelling, music, philosophy, art or any interesting topic over dinner and beers is also a must :)
