Overview
About Me
A non regular physics student whom has noticed that a non thrilling life doesn't suit him. Once every few months I need to travel somewhere and spend time on nature getting to know new people.
I love hiking, running and mountain biking, also i'm starting to draw while travelling and i do really love photography.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I do really want to TRAVEL not being a tourist is the way, normally I might also hitchhike and the reason is exactly the same. There exist angels around the world which will help you and restore your faith in humanity.
Now less philosophical... You get to know people you'd never meet and then plans just appear in front of you, for sure you'll have fun and always meet AMAZING people whom usually have a long story at their backs. It is like meeting again long lost friends which you have not yet met.
Interests
I love to walk around in the cities, at a slow pace, trying to understand how that city works while taking photographies.
- outdoor activities
- hiking
- volleyball
- language exchange
- nature
- conversation
- exploring
- cultural exchange
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Provably I've been born a bit late, most of my idols are old or already dead, from guns'n roses to queen through all the rock famous songs.
Movies: I do love cinema! A small list of the best movies I've seen could be: Big fish, Memento, Shawshank redemption, Shutter island, the bucket list and many other including Disney films :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Walked 1300km across Spain doing Camino de Santiago, Barcelona to Finisterra (the end of the world), that was the beginning of an amazing story.
Hitchhiked all of Iceland, just with a camping tent, into the wild mood. Cried at the most powerful waterfall in Europe. Got into the blue lagoon for free.
Got kicked out of a Volleyball meetup in the USA, 2 years later got acknowledged as a good player in a similar meetup in Bangkok.
Backpacked SE Asia, eat lots of pad thai and walked into vball games at highschools in Laos, Vietnam and Thailand with the locals.
Cycled all Angkor Wat temples on a shitty city bike just to not pay tuk-tuk, jumped of joy when finding flying foxes and bathed at a sea snake nesting area ( we were told afterwards...)
Helped someone get its shit together.
Teach, Learn, Share
I do think that for only being 22 years old i'm pretty mature and can have very deep conversations about life, plenty of people told me this already in the camino and i do think that they made a change in my life and I hope I did so on theirs.
Great skills about outdoors life, how to plan a trip, maps reading, hike trails search... and the most important, what the hell do I bring on my backpack for long trips :)
I can have deep conversations about many scientific issues, maybe you want to hear about quantum mechanics :) Actually that is the last thing i want to talk while travelling but... always happens hahaha
I'd love to learn anything if i get interested in it, feel free to show me anything ^^
What I Can Share with Hosts
Outdoors plans and good knowledge about the best places to visit in Barcelona.
I can show you around and if you are staying in Barcelona for a few days I could even organize some hike/visit outside of Barcelona
