Hey, my name is Sergi! Nice to meet you all! I'm from Santpedor, a small village 70km inland from Barcelona. However, I've lived in the big city for 10 years now when I started university. During my school years I fell in love with the city and decided to stay and look for a job here.

I've been video editing and producing for 4 years now in an advertising agency which is located at the feet of Collserola mountain, top part of the city. I live in Gracia together with my flatmate Victor. I enjoy nature, food, films, music and traveling.

I love outdoor activities and during the week I often go climbing, mountain biking or running. I love it as much as I need it to escape! Outdoor activities are my addiction. I love climbing, mountain biking, trail running. trekking, surfing, skiing, kitesurfing, riding a longboard or canoeing. So far, it's the only healthy drug I know of!

Music is another of my passions, specially concerts and music festivals. I like techno, electronic music, music from the 50's to the 90's. My favorite artists are Bob Marley, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, U2, James Brown, Coldplay, Manu Chao, Paul Kalkbrenner, Justice, Nicola Cruz, Daft Punk and many other! On my spare time, I enjoy DJing.

I also enjoy photography and video making. It helps me relax! I love going to the movies or watching films at home with a huge pop-corn bowl (yummy!!!!). I really enjoy trying new dishes, beers, wines, etc... at the end of the day, I'm Mediterranean!

I consider myself a very open-minded and easygoing person who always tries to be happy and positive. I try to enjoy life as much as possible. My motto: Let it flow, let it happen!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This 2017 summer, I've traveled around Colombia with my flatmate and I've been amazed by the amount of people who has offered me a place to stay. I believe all these people are good by nature and I find it a rather interesting way to meet locals and the best way to enjoy the city from a local point of view. This enables you to discover top hidden spots. I feel it's the best way of traveling and I want my guests to get this in return when they visit Barcelona.

On the other hand, I'm really looking forward to improving my English by meeting people from all backgrounds.
