ABOUT ME
I began with couchsurfing some years ago... living in Barcelona, but now, I just got back to my hometown in Valencia so... I'm kind of reconsidering all aspects of my life (place to live, what to work for...) So I can give you many advices about such wonderful city as Barcelona, or in the other hand, invite you to (re)discover with me Valencia and its region.
I used to work in social projects, linked to migration rights, community development projects, and during the last three years I managed a cultural center in Barcelona... but as I said, I have taken a break to reconsider my life, so I'm spending the next couple of years studying, traveling, living and seeing what life can bring :)
My favourite hobby is to plan trips, adventures... I like to live new experiences, and knowing people from different parts of the world, despite I try to remember that the smallest things around us may also surprise us every day.
I like to go to the cinema, love reading, and i enjoy so much dancing.
But, the thing I like the most, is to spend time with friends, hanging around, having a drink, inviting them for dinner...
PHILOSOPHY
I ususaly like to trust people, even sometime you can have a bad experience; i realy thing at the end, you get more than what you give.
I like to be clear, to say things like they are (it's not always easy, but always worth it)
I know (i learned it) you have to apreciate yourself, to give you what you need, to be able to give to others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Difficult to find one... being part of a "castell" (human tower), that was kind of amazing! Most of all, when a tower of ten people failed over us... and we are still alife!

Teach, Learn, Share
I love to teach spanish, i like languages in general and to find the right word for feelings or moments.
I want to learn about other cultures... i enjoy intercultural relations, and finding how many things in common we have despite many powerful people manifest against this...
