About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fulfill my 25 vital objectives that include rich social relationships and continuos personal growth.

ABOUT ME

Travelling is what I like the most in life. There are dozens of places I would like to visit: Cuba, Costa Rica, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Jordania, Polinesia, New Zealand, ...
Other than travelling I like practicing Yoga, reading, cinema and trekking.
I am starting my own business project related to Internet, Web 2.0 and trading.

PHILOSOPHY

Better try and fail than do not try and wonder what would have happen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offer a couch and as much of our time as we have available to visit the city and surroundings.
I have been hosted in Australia and India and met always very interesting, friendly and helpful people. CS is the best idea ever for travelling and getting to know people from around the world giving very little and getting a lot in return, definitely, an experience amplifier.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met Yoshi, a Japanese man, in an art exhibition in Tokyo and after talking for long he offered me to be my guide in the city first and to spend one night I hadn't booked a hotel for at his place.
It become an excellent friendship.
I enjoy getting to know people from different cultures and practicing English as I don't have many opportunities to do it in my daily life.

Interests

Blogging (areyou.wordpress.com), taking photographs, Yoga, Reading, Trekking, Cinema, Music.
I like having deep conversations about different topics, walking and observing all around. I don't care if it´s a museum or a lively street or a landscape in the mountains.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I tried skydiving once, what was an amazing experience of release.
Have participated in several Yoga retreats, where met very interesting and surprising people from everywhere ... all with very deep thoughts and feelings.

Teach, Learn, Share

You can practice your Spanish language with me.
I would like to practice my English, as I am preparing to migrate to Australia. English speakers and Aussies(specially) will have preference to be hosted at my place.
Share trips and experiences and showing interesting places in Barcelona. I am a foodie so I know some nice restaurants in Barcelona and places to have a drink.
