About Me

I am an open-minded person, curious about the world and eager to meet different ways of living. I have lived in several countries, like Thailand, Germany, USA and short stays in Palestine and Turkey. I am truly interested in meeting people from all over the world!

I studied geology engineering so I am passionate about everything that has to do with nature and geology, especially mountains. I love doing mountain sports like hiking, climbing... or just enjoying a cup of tea or a cold beer watching the landscape.

I can be a bit lazy, but I am always up for any kind of plan and last-minute decision. When I am traveling, I become a very curious person who wants to see and do everything to make the most of every place I visit.

I believe it is very important to take care of the people surrounding you, family, friends, and people that you cross paths with. I want everyone I meet to leave with a smile on their face :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After a few travels couchsurfing with some friends, I decided to make my own profile because I loved getting to know the country this way. It allows you to meet locals in an easy way, getting to know their culture, history and traditions.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is the soundtrack of my life so I choose it varying on my mood and the moment I am going through. However, the music I enjoy the most is the one with social background and some energetic catalan bands.

The best books for me are the ones with a bit of everything: some mystery, action and romance, i.e. Ruiz Zafón and Giner. As well as books which are set in cultures differents of mine.

One of my hobbies is going to the cinema. I could watch any movie (except reaaally slow ones). A good movie is always a perfect plan for me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A short internship in Palestine, getting to know the culture and social situation.

Spending the pandemics lockdown in Thailand, away from family and friends. Luckily, I made very good friends along the way with whom we had many adventures. Ask me and I will explain some of them to you;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe everyone we come across in this life teaches us something. We can either learn from them or not.

I am most interested in learning cooking techniques and easy dishes from all over the world. I am not a great cook, but everything I have learnt is from watching people cook interesting meals.

I enjoy getting to know new people, giving myself to others and helping whenever I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, good conversation and Spanish lessons :)
