Hey,

Nice to meet you - my name is Lydia, but most people call me Lu.

My wife Stephanie & me live in the very centre of beautiful Barcelona, Spain. We live here (together) since 2011 - both of us are living in Catalonia (Barcelona and Tarragona) for almost 10 years! We are open-minded people, that love specialty coffee, craft beer and cooking & enjoying amazing food, and love to share our passions with friends and strangers alike. :-)

If you'd like to stay with us, you should already have references, you had better read this profile, you should know that a maximum stay with us is 2 nights and that we are not people where you can just crush and spend the night to save some money. For us this is about meeting new, interesting people and we'd like to get to know you. We are not a hotel. We love independent people that know how to entertain themselves, are always open to help you on your way and appreciate to spend a little time with you. We certainly won't be your travel guide but send you on your way with a map! We prefer hosting women and will most likely decline your request if you're a guy - no offence! We hosted great guys, but in order to host you as a guy, your profile and message have to convince us big time - if you can provide us with further references and a Facebook or LinkedIn profile, the better! Ah and regarding all genders: if you're a jerk, a homophobe, a misogynist, macho, etc. you better keep on looking!

All the best!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We decided to become part of this great community to share our beautiful city with potential visitors and to be able to explore the rest of the world from a local perspective - travelling local is just the best!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being in Paris for 23h and exploring and experiencing the city as you rarely get to in a week's time - just by coincidence and luck.

Teach, Learn, Share

We know a lot about craft beer & specialty coffee!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can totally share great specialty coffee & craft beers, amazing food (I'd say I'm a decent home chef) and an awesome time as we are great company ;-)
