I am a first timer in CS so I don't have much experience hosting people :-)) Please note that if you find your experience is not as great as I hope it to be. I'll do my best.

Long story short, It happens that I live alone now. Well not really, I share the apartment with a super shy and quite cat named "Eme". Please also note in case you're allergic. I clean very often anyway to remove her footprint.

I cook a different "Paella" every Sunday (just love cooking), so if you're around that day of the week, you can count with one unique paella experience.

Also a big wine enthusiast. I was born and lived in Valladolid for long time, cradle of the best red wine region in Spain (Ribera del Duero) and famous cellars like Vega Sicilia and Pingus. We also have great Verdejo in Rueda. I can organise a wine tasting evening for you with cheese and jazz music 🍷🎶

Work wise, I am an IT architect and developer working from home for a startup that will revolutionise the education sector, like every other startup in the world. Then 95% of them won't survive their first 5 years, but we have to stand strong and positive :DD I also like User Research, UX, Agile methodologies, Design, and a big etcetera.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's time for a change. People has taught me a lot recently and I want to keep learning from others. A friend of mine told me CS has been one of the best things of his life. So I am a bit jealous and curious about it.

Hope to share experiences and discover secret places in Barcelona. I have been living in the city for 2 years only. There are many things waiting to be discovered. I have a nice scooter (Yamaha X Max 300) to run through the city and surroundings (beach, towns, etc).

Just to name same examples, if you know how to cook a great dish (like nasi goreng or ramen) or you know how to play piano or you have a super good story to share just ping me. I'll be looking forward to hosting you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one?

Teach, Learn, Share

Love teaching cooking, sharing recipes and wine experiences.

I'm learning Piano (Level zero). Any training would be much appreciated.

Also gardening tips for the flowers and plants at the terrace. They desperately need your help.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Private room with a private toilet. It's a single bed but it can be made double.

Wash and Cook your own policy except Paella on Sundays :-)))

Breakfast will be usually included (bread, butter, eggs, fruit, milk, nespresso, tea).

Smoking is strictly forbidden.

These are very general rules but I hope a respectful stay and big common sense like not bringing people without permission, acting like this was a hotel, dirtiness, disrespect for the neighbours, noise after 11pm, etc.
