About Me

I¡m a primary school teacher born in Valencia but Barcelona based for almost 18 years.
I have a three years old kid, who is f***ing amazing, and sometimes is living with me ans sometimes with his mother.
I like music, records and live music, photography and know histories about weird people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

TO HOST:
Whenever I travel and am the guest always inspire me to host. I get this weird urge to do the same for people visiting the city in which I live (to offer guests the same hospitality [or better] that I've received from hosts).

Hosting people and traveling is something I like to do and honestly, I have so much to give that I need an outlet or else I feel like I may explode! As it turns out, giving my time and energy to guests is a healthy outlet for me. So, yeah, hopefully you don't mind.

I'm new on couchsurfing. Before couchsurfing.com, I used to host guests from other countries (mostly friends of friends) at my residence and now I want to keep doing the same. If for some reason I cannot host you, I can (if I have the time) meet up with you in Barcelonaand share with you all of the amazing food, views, interesting places, etc.

TO COUCH SURF:
It's nice to travel and meet people who live in a particular area. I like learning about the differences from one place to another. It helps me recognize social constructs and question my whole being and I really like that. I also like taking on new languages when I travel and putting them into practice.
