About Me

CURRENT MISSION

These days I'm traveling around east and central Europe so, my current mission, is to learn about the people and culture and try to be one of them as much as possible and also, of course, I would like to leave something from me behind, in those lands.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think that one of the best parts in traveling around the world is getting to know people from those places where you arrive and share food experiences and stories with them.
As a guest, I've once stayed with a lovely couple from Cameroon that lived in Dominica, a tinny Island in the Lesser Antilles. It was a great experience.
As a host, I've shared my apartment in Barcelona many times.
Also in Cuba, I was once in a CouchSurfing meeting, with people from all over the world, the problem in that Island is that because of some Law, people can't host anyone.
So far, my experience with CouchSurfing has been great and I would love to meet more people from CouchSurfing.

Interests

To sum up, my biggest interest is sharing experiences, stories, some laughs and, of course, good recipes, I love food.
My second biggest interest is traveling around the world, and I know, everybody tells the same, but I really want to be part of every place on earth. Then, I can rest knowing what´s going on everywhere, how is life in India, Africa, the tinny Islands, with all my brothers and sisters.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Magic Realism -García Márquez, Isabel Allende or Neruda. I also like Herman Hess and Historic or Ancient Culture books. Nowadays I'm reading about Hindu history.
Speaking about music, I have a strong link with it, I think music is life. I like acoustic, electronic or soul music, I love Reggae and all its derivatives. I also love to dance and I can play guitar a little bit.
About movies, I have some favorite ones, but I think I like independent films from all the world, and of course, in the original languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just been here, this far, is pretty amazing. I left my place in order to live in Europe with no papers, after 14 years, I'm based in Barcelona living the dream and sharing with people from everywhere, I wish everyone could live their dreams too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languages, how to cook some dishes, life tricks and some peace.
About learning, I think I would love to learn about everything, it depends on where you are and who you are with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share what I have and what I know, I think that's pretty good, isn´t it? :-)
