CURRENT MISSION

Find my place in the world while meeting nice and interesting people.

ABOUT ME

I was born 26 years ago in a little town a 100km south from Barcelona, I spent my first 18 years there thinking and dreaming what would be out there so at this age I left my parents home,move out to Barcelona and my life perception radically changed. I started meeting many international people and I decided that I want to be one of those international people. So that summer I went to Exeter, UK, and I worked there for a few months was my very first experience living abroad, and I enjoyed it so much than the next year I asked for an Erasmus grant to live one year in Amsterdam, I remember that as the best year of my life. It changed even more my view of different cultures and opened my mind in a way that I could have not imagine a few years before.
After that experience I travelled by many countries in Europe, finished my degree in economics, started to work, after 2 years I quit my job, I flew to Brazil, lived in Rio for a few months and then came back with a complete different life perspective and trying to apply it to my daily life in Barcelona.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the democracy of internet that allow people of all ranges to interact, learn and share. I don't believe in the private property so that i treat all things in life as mine, but none it is. I really believe in sharing as part of the change in which the world is envolved, I share my apartment, I share my bike, I always use public transportation...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I went to some couchsurfing meetings in Barcelona, at Polaroid Bar. I couchsurfed in Cagliari, Sardinia. And I went to several meetings of couchsurfing in Rio de Janeiro so far.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I said I just slept in a couch once and it was an amazing experience, as any new experience, it scared me a bit but at the moment I met my host all the fears just vanished. He treats us incredibly well, I was travelling with a good friend of mine, we had amazing meals together and this experience encouraged me to be more connected to couchsurfing.

Interests

I love meeting new people and international people, back in Barcelona I founded with some other friend the section of ESN (Erasmus Student Network) at my university. ESN is a non-profit european association which helps international people to integrate in the city and with the people in the city that their are studying.
A part of that I like reading, see books below, writing, I always travel with a little notebook with me. And I also like sports specially basketball and running.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking trough a narrow street in Brussels listen to some flat-party music, ring the bell, walk up the stairs till the flat, tell a random name to the owner, enter to the party and there meet someone that your are friend in facebook with, stay at the party until the end, having met many new people and getting a life-time invitation for accommodation in Brussels. Welcome to the worldwide network of people instead of nations!
