About Me

Journalist

I'm something similar to an active, bromistic, open and scout guy.

Trying to be always pleasant :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that travelling it's not just visiting places... It's meeting local people and understanding it's reality!

My city, Barcelona, is full of tourists that just search 'playa, fiesta and Gaudí'. I don't enjoy their visit becausethey are not really learning how is Barcelona!

So, I don't want to be like them, and I think Couchsufing is a good tool to start a real connection with the place you visit!!

Interests

Relax in nature, practicing sports, reading about politics, urban culture, petite music shows...
The key is in the details! But more important than the plan is the people who does it!
