About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living better, knowing new things and people and be happy

ABOUT ME

I like traveling and meeting people with different lives and points of view. I want to be close to others sharing feelings about our paths and projects in the world. I love to find in the people, who live in other places and cultures, similar human aspects, including aspects that are familiar to me. I'm surprised to share jokes and laughs with people who barely know and who have such different origins. I guess I am encouraged to see that most of the people of this world are good people.
I like to laugh and I have a good sense of humor. I consider me a responsible person, egalitarian and friendly with others. I'm pretty tidy but not obsessive, and I'm curious. I wonder a lot!
I like to discuss politics, relationships and lifestyles. In the end, I usually just laughing at all.
Also I love to cook and I do it everyday.
I prefer the beach and the sun, but I'm a lover of cities, I'm an urbanite. I enjoy going out at night but now I'm feeling old, then I have to be carefully with the party. I try to learn french now and improve my english.In resum:

I guess it goes about it with me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to participate to connect with other people involved and reflect on these things. I would like to learn about projects related to non-violence and improving relations between women and men, in general, share my knowledge and work in these areas who might be interested.
I'm also interested in social networking, not only on the Internet, sharing knowledge and experiences from different places around topics of interest. I think couchsurfing is a very good methodology of international exchange that makes me reflect on why we do not share more. Why is still so minority working abroad, being connected with international networks of our interest, and communicate with anyone who can form or let us know their experience?

This is my dream to participate in couchsurfing, improve the possibility to connect and create networks among people with similar interests or work.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm in the second step in couchsurfing. Now I'm interested in knowing about experiences and people around my city and travelling over Europe or North Africa.
I met people in my travels who I'll like to share a friendship. And of course, I'm excited to meet more interesting people in the coming years, and if I have to travel a lot I will accept with resignation, ha, ha, ha...

Interests

My interest is to share good times with people who visit Barcelona, show them the city when I can and keep in touch if I could visit their hometowns.

I would also accommodate people who share my interests or want to learn about Catalan culture and create a network of people who want to develop different projects.

I am open to suggestions from others couchsurfers to create something beyond the beautiful experience of traveling and meeting other people, which is also something I treasure.

I would even like to train people who want to know more about the intervention with men on gender violence, a subject that I am an expert and I do professionally. Professional projects could consider the longer term if interested.

At all, I wish all the people feel at home in my house.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have not preferences about it, I'm an eclectic person about music and movies. I like so much Woody Allen, and I usually read about psychology or short stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best thing I really seen is the change of a person when you can help. It's wonderful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about interventions with men in gender violence, prevention of gender disequalitys and constructivism psychology.
I would like to know people who could teach me about social networks (I study something about) and tourism.
I would work one time out of my country and learn French or improve my English. If you are interested and can give me a job even temporarily, I would be willing to think.
