About Me

Hi there!

I am friendly, talkative, traveler and I hope smart.

I can't host often, but maybe is your lucky day ;)

Also, I prefer receiving people for fewer nights (2 or 3) first, but if we get on famously and I can host you more days (if I can).

Please, try to not send a sentence request like "I will be in Barcelona from X to X, I would like to spend a good time, can you host me?".
Try spending at least 5 minutes writing something better, tell me about your trip, why you are sending me a request on Couchsurfing,...

So I won't answer generic copy and paste requests.

If you are not interested in spending 5 minutes reading my profile in order to be sure we have things in common why should I spend days hosting an unknown person in my house? Try to understand my perspective, I am not an annoying person, I swear to you hahaha :D

Mind that if I host you I'd like to spend the time with you, at least when I come home in the evening or at weekends, and I'm not interested to do just sightseeing, since I prefer to do and bring you to my usual Barcelona stuff, go to my favorite places or even meet with my friends, which can be much more fun (or NOT) than following a bad list of tourist bar you found in some blog.

And don't take this description too serious. Life supposed to be fun.

The propose of Couchsurfing is to share.
Share experiences of life in order to learn and make new friends, and show to the guest the local perspective of the city.
It's a win-win interaction, save money is one good reason but it cannot be the only reason for Couchsurfing, make friends is a better one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Is that a real question?

To know people and make friends like any other social network. It's a great opportunity to know people around the world, learn new languages/cultures, and understand better the planet from a different perspective. :)

Plus, know a city from a local is always the best!
