Overview
About Me
I'm a Catalan guy who loves going where not many people go.
PAST
I grew up in Castellbisbal, a small village near to Barcelona, from where I keep many great memories. When I was 18 I decided to study Computer Science because I think it can be really helpful when it is used on the right way (also picked that degree because it didn't have Chemistry... :P). On 2015 I went to Denmark as an Erasmus student. Without a doubt, it was the best experience of my life up to that time. That year helped me to grow up and get the things done just by myself (cooking, cleaning, paperwork...) and it also gave me the chance to meet many people from all over the world and travel a lot around Europe! I'd say my passion for travelling started there.
After Denmark, I came back to write my thesis and, right after that, I moved out to the city with some friends. Since I needed an income, I decided to start working, but it wouldn't last long.
A year later, even though my job and my life were okay by that time, I wasn't excited living in the comfort zone, so I decided to fly to Kazakhstan to start a new adventure: discover Asia and meet great people.
PRESENT
I don't know how long this adventure will take, but I only expect to meet as many people as possible and learn tones of things about their culture. Great people, good food, interesting cultures and awesome views or special spots are what I'd love to meet on the way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is a great way of getting into the local life and culture. Even if it's just for a day, these kind of memories are the best ones! Also, it's a cheaper way of travelling, either for me or the guys I host, and it helps me keep the flat clean!
But never forget that you can also meet locals just by saying "Hi" anywhere!!

Music, Movies, and Books
Bit of everything. Not too much of anything.
Just finished "Into the wild", the best book I have read so far. Ready to read "Tamil tigress".
Last movie I saw was "Captain Fantastic". Bit extra but cool one.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Wildcamp alone at the Quiraing at the middle of a Scottish storm. One of the best experiences in my life. Knowing you are there alone surrounded by mountains and animals, is an incredible feeling.
Randomly bought a plane ticket to Canada/USA to go there alone. I met many great people, with whom I still get in touch!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd love to show you how the Catalan and Spanish culture is, as well as the most cool places in Barcelona!
What I Can Share with Hosts
What I can share with you is having a good time, either talking on the living room, having a beer in a bar, clubbing or hiking or discovering the city.
Also, you would always be welcome to Barcelona or wherever I live at that time :)
