About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission in life is to enjoy the most of it as it goes too quickly.
Life can be a pleasant journey with a big smile and a hug for everyone.

ABOUT ME

I did lots of CS in the past but stopped for 7years. Now Im back ina new home and offering a unique staying since im located among volcanoes, natural reserves and the best mountain range. Great food and pleasant just 1h30min north from Barcelona and 40min from Girona.
I live in a cozy 100m2 apartment in Olot. With 3 bedroom, and lots of stories to share.
I am a funny guy living on my own since few months ago. I am very open and talkative and also I love having people at home.
I am altruist, kind, sincere and sensitive but a sensible person who loves sharing good experiences.
I consider myself as a great friend and someone to have a good laugh and chat.
I am an adventurer caged working all year long but escaping from time to time around the world.
Last but not least, an active waterpolo player performing in the first national leagye (still!)

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem!! Enjoy life as much as you can.
Share moments to make them more special.
Be yourself do not fool yourself!
"Piensa en grande y tus hechos crecerán, piensa que puedes y podrás; todo esta en el estado mental. La batalla de la vida no siempre la gana el hombre mas fuerte porque tarde o temprano, el hombre que gana, es aquel que cree poder hacerlo."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am here to offer my guest room to people on transit or willing to experience a real adventure, nature lovers who want to give a rest from the smoky city .

I can host up to 3 or 4 people at a time.
I promise to do my best to enjoy and show the surroundings.
I even offer myself to cook local food and show you around as I have experience on touring people around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I could not mention just one. But wildlife is indeed something that gets me on. Also the human spirit for overcoming problems. On the other hand, the simplicity and 'drugged' situation of current certain societies

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach about NUTRITION, WATERPOLO PLAYING, COMPUTERING, BIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGICAL talks, ... and my city´s higlights!
