I started traveling very young with my parents, first with a caravan and later backpacking. After having visited many countries in different continents, when I finished my Bachelor’s I took a gap year to travel. I was backpacking for 6 months in Asia and then I decided to start a personal project which consisted in a bike trip to raise funds from Barcelona to Athens and then staying one month in the Greek capital to volunteer with refugees. After that I moved to London for one year to study, and now I am moving to Hong Kong to work there.

My travel website is www.viajarconmochila.com (in Spanish). You can also find there the part about the bike trip and the volunteering in Greece in “Help Refugee Challenge”.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of sharing moments with people I meet on the road, specially if they are from the place I am visiting so they can give me first-hand tips about the local culture and attractions, is amazing. I have always offered accomodation in Barcelona to those I have met on my trips if they ever come to visit the city, and it's a great way of getting in touch with people from all over.

Music, Movies, and Books

Above all, Bruce Springsteen. But I listen to many different kinds of music. I love reading all kind of books, but nothing like a catchy novel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The decision to leave home for one year to travel the world with a backpack is probably the most important one I have taken so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been a maths teacher for engineering students for 4 years. I believe that travelling is one of the most enriching experiences you can have and when you travel you learn many things that make you a richer person. I love to share travel stories and exchange tips about the places I’ve been or about my hometown, Barcelona.
