📞📞📞 I check Couchsurfing about once per day, so I might miss same-day requests. If I don't answer, please use my whatsapp: (+34) 631 330 497.

🐈🐈🐈 I currently have two cats at home that I’m fostering. They’re not very friendly so most of the time you won’t even see them, but you should know, in case you’re allergic to cat hair.

🤖🤖🤖 You don’t need to send AI generated requests, I don’t really mind if you don’t read my profile, and usually if your request is longer than one paragraph, it will make my brain hurt. Just ask if you can stay, on which date, and I will respond depending on the availability of the bedroom - we will have time to get to know each other when we meet in person.

❌❌ If you have no references… 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐘 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓 ❌❌

If you don’t have at least phone and ID verified, I will probably ignore your request. I’m sorry but I’ve decided to filter those people who don’t even bother with the most basic identity verification processes on Couchsurfing…the reason is that I get many requests from people with 0 references, and I really want to help you and welcome you to the platform, but I don’t know if you’re a scammer or a thief, and seeing that you have verified your account with your ID makes me feel safe.

Born in Colombia. Raised in Spain. Ask me about anything else. I love talking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I just love helping people and taking care of guests, driving them around, showing them the nice places that I know and just making sure that they enjoy their stay. Maybe in a previous life I was a nurse or a doctor, who knows. I just really enjoy looking after people.

Interests

👻Ghosts, occultism, tarot, weird esoteric stuff. Might do a Tarot reading for you if persuaded. I find that it’s a really good way to discover more about other people.

🥾Walking up the mountain, drinking beer, rolling down the mountain. Late night walks. Feeding street cats. Laying on my back looking at the stars and listening to podcasts.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎵In my house I play music all the time so I apologize if anyone wants absolute silence because they won't get none of that with me. I mean, unless you ask, in which case I will definitely turn down the volume a bit.

My music taste is like vomit: part of it is absolute crap but some of it is still digestible - I do all sorts: happy bolero, samba, fados, heavy metal, black, trash, speed, weird Japanese techno gabber, rap and trap, and instrumental African or meditational stuff.

📚I read books about spirits and ghosts and religions and black magic but I am a very lazy and inconsistent spiritual practitioner, I'm tangled up in the distractions of everyday life and I can't escape into the netherworlds as often as I would want to. Also every time I try to meditate I fall asleep, which doesn’t help.

🍿I like old movies, like black and white films, Chaplin, Hitchcock, some old Japanese stuff.. But I also like crap like Clerks and Mallrats. Japanese cyberpunk cartoons like Ghost in The Shell or Battle Angel Alita, or fantasy shows like Adventure Time or Infinite Space.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’d say to me the most amazing thing I’ve done is overcoming anxiety and depression and becoming a somewhat functional member of society.

🇪🇸I dropped out of college right before I was done because I thought "Who needs a diploma anyway? It's the 21st century and Mark Zuckerberg doesn't have a college degree” so with those bright thoughts in my head I got myself a job as a freelance translator and decided to go traveling around Spain, renting Airbnb rooms in different cities each month; this allowed me to explore more and now when people say "there's this thing in Salamanca..." I can go "I KNOW RIGHT? I HAVE BEEN THERE, LET ME TELL YOUR EVERYTHING ABOUT IT" and rant for an hour without letting other people speak.

🇵🇹 Having explored a few cities, I found myself just north of the border with Portugal, so I drove over the bridge and parked my life near Serra da Estrela during the hot summer; took a lot of mescaline, hiked a lot, and got bitten by a dog because the signs were all in Portuguese (given that it was, you know, Portugal) and I couldn’t read the signs warning me about the Cao

🇨🇴 Then my mom was like "oh yeah well you're traveling around merrily, meanwhile I'm here all alone and I haven't seen you in ages and I miss you and blah blah blah" so I hopped on a plane and went back to Colombia for half a year. My mother is also the type of person who likes to travel, so we agreed to live in a new city for a month to watch over our friend’s dogs while they were on holidays: a bitch of a dog and her son. And believe you me, she was a total bitch! The tiny, annoying, bitting type. She was cute, but ill-mannered. I spent my days walking the dogs, talking to other people, and ended up strucking a conversation with our neighbour, who turned out to be a weed farmer - so we became instant drug besties and we smoked weed every day and well I don’t remember a lot of what happened after that

🇻🇳 Then my hilariously hyperactive Vietnamese friend was like "You should definitely come to Vietnam, because it is lovely!" so I said goodbye to the mom and the dogs, and flew to Hanoi, where I ate a lot of cheap street food, made a lot of friends, drank a lot of beer and did not save a single penny - because Vietnam is super affordable, but the people are so friendly that I just loved spending money going to visit them, going to restaurants, pubs, parks, eating street food...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Then my cousin was like "motherf**** where are you! You should definitely visit Scotland! There's redheads!" and I love me some redheads so I fared the Vietnamese hẹn gặp lại! and flew to Edinburgh, where I drank a lot of hot LIDL red tea with baklava, to forget how cold it was outside - which is a big problem in a country with so many beautiful redheads! You really want to go outside and meet people, but it's so damn cold! Nevertheless I had a great time, we met a group of Italians who also sold weed, we became good friends and smoked an entire marihuana

🇻🇳Then my company was like "You're fired. Bye!" which was great because I had been thinking that it was time for a change in my life, so I went back to Hanoi to try my luck as an English teacher - long story short, it was awful! I decided then to find work as a web developer, with the little experience that I had at the moment (fixing phpBB and wordpress forums) and luck was with me, because I landed a job with a Vietnamese small software company ran by a Japanese gentleman. I worked with them for 2 years, made a lot of friends, ate a lot of Bun Đao Mam Tom - which is like the best food ever and if you disagree get the hell out of my house right this instant-, and even in Vietnam I was able to find people who smoked weed although the quality is really subpar. Spain really is the best place for the weed&wine combo

▪️▪️▪️

Eventually, my work permit expired, and I was forced to choose between:

- paying over a thousand dollars to stay in Vietnam for another year
- paying 500 dollars to take a flight back to Spain and see my family and all the places I missed

So I thought, you know what? I think I've had enough Vietnam for now. It's time to go back to Spain, get a damn college diploma AT LAST, earn more professional experience, and then come back when I have a better job and more money to squander in cheap street food.

🇪🇸So I am in Spain at the moment, trying not to forget how to be happy, trying to make an effort to graduate from computer science and decide what’s gonna be my next adventure.

My plans for the future? Who knows 🤷‍♂️ I don’t really care about where I end up, I just think that whatever happens to me will be what has to happen to me. I’m quite hyperactive so I struggle sticking to one thing, which means I’ll probably just be jumping from one place to another until the day I die. At least I hope when that happens some people will say “oh he was a nice guy. Helped us a lot when we needed it. Wish there was more people like him in the world”

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you some of the places I like in Girona.

I can teach you how to make Vietnamese spring rolls and Colombian arepas.

I can teach you stuff related to computers, if that's something you're interested in.

I can let you use the VR headset I have at home, if that’s something you have never tried. It’s quite an experience!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pretty much the entire flat is at your disposal, there's nothing in it that is too valuable, so I like people to feel like they are really just coming to their own flat in Girona for a few days. Use the kitchen, use the terrace, just make yourself comfortable!
