About Me

NOTICE!
I'm currently moving to another house so I won't be able to host until I settle down, but send me a message if want to meet up and, hopefully, I will be free to show you secret places and have a beer together with some of my friends.

__________________________________________

Hey guys! My name is Jon, I'm 22 and have lived half of my life in the beautiful city that it is Barcelona!

ME AS A HOST
Please, don't send copy pasted requests, I will decline them. I'm in CS to share experiences and make friends worlwide, so also don't expect my house to be an hotel! :)

Most of the times people have come to my house, I went to theirs as soon as I had time (I love to travel) so please be aware of that before requesting to go to my house!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think making friends while traveling is the best part of it... And it's the easiest way to really discover a place and have amazing experiences! In my trips I enjoy much more when I visit friends that have stayed in my place (:

Interests

I love the outdoors and the adventure sports. I like to learn new things from new people and I'm always up for a beer!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, last summer I backpacked with my GF and some friends trough Colombia, Ecuador, México, Guatemala and Cuba. We did some amazing snorkel in México, and saw marine turtles at the beach... The Mayan and Zapotecan ruins were amazing, too. In Ecuador we rode horses and did bungee jumping, I think is the best rush I have had... We stayed with some friends I knew from Couchsurfing and from other trips, and definetily that was the best part!

Teach, Learn, Share

“you'll always get somewhere, if you walk long enough.”

What I Can Share with Hosts

My place is 15 minutes to the old town. My roomate is my cousin. We have two rooms and a big sofa, but dad and grandma usually stay here, so that's why we generally don't accept requests and only pick couchsurfers when we have room!

Sometimes we are busy but other times we love to take couchsurfers to the beach, the mountain or to do some things in the city with our friends.

Andorra, Botswana, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Guatemala, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Swaziland, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City State
