ABOUT ME

My name is Javier. I was born in Logroño, Spain, but I consider myself a citizen of the world. I have lived in Barcelona, Morocco, Croatia and Poland. I have studied cinema direction in Barcelona. I love books, art, cinema, music and of course meeting new people. I´m an open minded, kind and sociable person. I love to meet new people to understand deeper that all people we have a huge inner world in common and what make us different, also make us more interesting. Peace and love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people, to share life, to became wiser and a better person. I think the best way for this is to share experiences with another people from all over the world. I would like also to understand the world and discover every place and all kind of people, and to share my own experiences and time with interesting people. I think also is a good opportunity to create a better world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rented a car and travelled from North to South Morocco, from Larache to Essaouira to meet a friend in the Gnawa Music festival and after we went to Marrakech and Ouzoud waterfalls, crossing the mountains, and getting hitchhikers, driving all night through small roads. Thousands of kilometers in only five days.

I was living in Zagreb a whole summer, playing violin in the street and in bars with my friend Roberto from Venezuela. All kind of music, Rock, latin, balkan, classics...
