About Me

I born in small village in Catalunya. There I spend most of my live near to nature and it's the place where I met my actual friends. At the age of 18 I moved to Barcelona to stat my degree in Architecture which I still doing it.

Last 5 years have been ones of the more exciting of my live. I have learn a lot about live, having fun,.. but since few months ago I have been changing my mind. Friends, nomad friends, books, courses have made me a brainwashing. Slowly I'm trying to pass from the ideas to facts. Simple way of living, close friends, focus my effort in what I really want in my live, be more open-minded are some small changes I think it will improve my happiness.

Escaping from this future scenario where globalization will try to make us look the same, be controlled and increasing the gender and people inequality, I like to think and talk about the way people could escape from this bubble and start making questions themselves to start a change in this world.

Nevertheless I'm here meeting people, travelling and exchanging experience to make this world more human.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great opportunity to get close to the people from other countries and as I said in my presentation it makes this world more human. Sharing, is one of the most beautiful things of this planet and it shows a part of your soul, which I really appreciate. I look couchsurfing as a meeting point for all open-minded people who wants to meet and share. Because I also want to meet and share I'm here taking part of this project called couchsurfing.

Interests

Because I like architecture when I travel I'm looking for buildings everywhere, it's a good excuse when is cold outside.
Another thing I like from travelling is that I try to be involve in the culture of the place so I use to escape from big cities where globalisation makes us look the same.
I love photography, in my free time and travels the camera always comes with me.
And I do athletics because relax me and it makes me feel happy at the end of the day.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite music.... I don't really have a favourite group but I really like to listen The Vaccines, The Maccabees
My favourite movies... I prefer series, my last ones have been: Breaking bad and Narcos.
My favorite book... "Vers une architecture" (Toward an Architecture), talks about the beauty (I really recommend you if you are architecture student)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been doing what I love ("working") for 5 years helping the firefighters during summer fires in the forest. It's a hard but also grateful experience extinguish fires in the middle of the forest.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I find a really opend-minded person I really like to talk about some issues and discus, just to learn and make the life more exciting.
I love cooking! So don't told me twice to prepare a good meal, because I'll sleep in the kitchen ;)
Somehow I have learn about sustainability thanks to university so I always have thought I can be a help if you are trying to make some changes.
