About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, as much as I can, about this complex world

ABOUT ME

I love travelling. I've been almost everywhere (Asia, Africa, South America, North America, Australia, Europe...) Most of the times doing some kind of voluntaring work for diferent NGO (In Togo, India, The Philipines, Mexico...). I am used to stay at family houses.

I have no problem with food. I like everything.
I am an easy-going person, used to deal with diferent cultures and ways to see the world and life. Open minded.

I do swimming and hiking, I do not smoke, I do not drink alcohol, just wine sometimes with good meals. I like walking. I like cinema, theatre, music...

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be as happy as I can and to help the others to be happy too. Honesty is a quality I apreciate a lot. I like to share what I have and be generous.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to offer my flat while I am in Barcelona. Time to time, while I am travelling I try to use it in order to know people from the country, but not often as I do not like to have plans in advance. I am deciding my route as I am travelling...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted many friends that I met overseas and have visited Barcelona. I have showed them around the city and other beautiful places in Catalonia.

Many times, while travelling, I have met people that have hosted me in their homes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed Australia by land and I met lot of wonderful people. I crossed Japan, South Korea and China by land and by ship. I spent one week in Lhasa, Tibet. I met many monks and I even taught them some English. And finally, my dream of visiting the Polynesia islands is coming true.
