I am half spanish and half north american, and grew up between the beautiful state of Colorado and the lovely city of Barcelona. I currently live in Barcelona and have fallen completely in love with it. I finished school there and worked for a while, in the USA at a yacht club and in Barcelona at a rock climbing company. I am now travelling South America alone and absolutely loving it. On this trip I am hoping to learn as much as I can about myself and about other cultures, as well as to connect with new and interesting people. I love people, and consider that the strength of the relationships we make in our lives is key to our happiness and our enjoyment of life. I play guitar and am very passionate about playing and listening to music. When I go home, I plan on either studying music, or biology/biochemistry, another of my interests.

Soy mitad español y mitad estadounidense, y me crié entre el precioso estado de Colorado y la encantadora ciudad de Barcelona. Sigo viviendo ahora en Barcelona y me he enamorado completamente de ella. Acabé allí el colegio y trabajé un tiempo en un club náutico en E.E.U.U, y en una empresa de escalada en Barcelona. Ahora estoy viajando sólo por Latinoamérica, y me está encantando. En este viaje espero aprender lo más que pueda sobre mí mismo y sobre otras culturas, y tambien formar conexiones con gente nueva e interesante. Considero que la fuerza de nuestras relaciones interpersoles son clave para nuestra felicidad en la vida. Toco la guitarra y me apasiona tocar y escuchar música. Cuando vuelva a casa tengo planeado estudiar o música o biologia/bioquímica, que también me interesa mucho.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I think that staying in hostels is a great way to meet other travellers, but I think it is very important to learn about the local lifestyle, and couchsurfing is a great way to do this. I also love the way it easily connects people from all over the planet, and hope to receive guests at my home when I return.

Creo que hospedarse en los albergues es una buena forma de conocer a otros viajeros, pero pienso que es muy importantr aprender sobre el estilo de vida local, y veo a couchsurfing como una muy buena plataforma para hacerlo. Me encanta como conecta a personas de todo el mundo, y espero recibir a huéspedes en mi casa cuando vuelva a BCN.

Algo increíble que he hecho

So many amazing things I've seen, like the south patagonian icefield, arches national park in Utah, the sunrise on Mt Elbert's summit in Colorado. I can say one of the most amazing experiences I've had is the one I'm having now, visiting South America and meeting all sorts of different people, and seeing incredible places. Just a couple weeks ago, I crossed the border from Argentina to Chile by foot through the andes on a 5 day trek, and it was absolutely beautiful.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach guitar and spanish, english and catalán.

I would love to learn about the people I stay with and their culture, about the political situations of the countries I visit, and especially about the music in those countries.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can share my music, my books and would love to prepare traditional food from Barcelona, like Patatas Bravas or Pa amb Tomàquet.
