About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live learning, sharing, enjoying, travelling!

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

Music: I like it, but i always find people that knows a lot to let me flow... the best, always, live music!

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...
