Music, Movies, and Books

Too much... I'd be glad to share all of them with you.

Films: Lynch, Von Trier, Tarantino, Polanski, Kubrick, Gondry, Allen, Arcand, Gilliam, Hartley, Coen, Hitchcock, Wilder, Kurosawa, Chan Wok, Ki-Duk, Kar-wai, Kitano... and so many more!

Books: Cortázar, Kundera, Sabato, Orwell, Saramago, Wilde, Auster, Bukowski, Fante, Galeano, ... I'd like to read more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Deciding to make my first big trip on my own. Two months in beautiful Nicaragua, one volunteering, one backpacking.

Another amazing thing was coaching football to 9-10 year old kids in China for three months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to speak a lot of languages but I only speak English besides my native tongues (Spanish and Catalan). I'd be really interested on exchanging languague skills, so if you'd like to practice your Spanish and teach me Chinese or any other language, I'd be really happy.
I also like intelligent, non-mainstream people, who can make me learn new ways of understanding life and society.
I enjoy very much sharing knowledge and tastes about music, films and books. I love people who feel a deep passion about music or any other cultural form. I play the guitar (I think I am an advanced-beginner) so I could teach beginners and be taught by most of guitar players in the world :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Light, warmth, love... we are all the same, we are all connected!

I can share the culture of where I come from. Try to teach some Spanish or Catalan, cook some basic typical dishes from there.

I can also share my experiences of my travels around the world.

And lots and lots of conversation... :-)
