Hi guys!! I'm new in the web!
I'm Rubén Laranjo González. I'm a guy of 23 years old, that right now is living in Barcelona (Spain).
Originally, all my family comes from Galica, that is a part of Spain in the north west. The weather there is pretty atlantic, but I have lived and I was born in Barcelona, in Catalunya, Spain. And the weather here; is (I can tell you), very different. Never is actually cold, and I love that.
So I have grown, in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, a city close to the beach, and that is in the suburbs of Barcelona.
I think, or at least I try to be a humble person, tolerant and openminded. These 3 adjectives are really sginificant for me. I have always thought, that one has to be able to see life or things from other perspectives, because maybe, when you are too focused with an idea, or too obssesed, you are missing a lot of parts of the reality that you can only see if you take a step back, and you see it from another point of view.
I think I have been always an idealistic; and I am nowadays.
I trully believe that everything can always be better or more peacefull. Or at least, the reality of our world right now. :D
I think that nowadays I'm in one of the best moments of my life, because I'm more mature than before, and now I am able to organise myself to implement all the ideas that I have in my mind, in my soul... And this way I can live, I can focus my actions according to my thoughts.. And that's something that gives me peace.

It can sounds kind of hippie.. but I trully believe that peace, that love, humility, tollerance, respect... are the keys of everything. I trully believe that are the keys of life. :D

I think is a pretty good introduction, but maybe with the time I will update all my info, quietly, and then I can express my self better. :D

So.. Peace for everyone!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that I'm basically on Coachsurfing because, during as I'm growing up; I'm feeling that the way that the world has to take right now... is to share, and to communicate.
I just like a lot the idea, because I think is a great way to trust on the people, to stablish relations and to meet new people.

I'm totally okay with pay 25 euros for a hostel per night sometimes but I don't know... I feel that the main reason why I'm feeling atractted for Coachsurfing, is because of the experience. I like to have new and rare experiences that I've never had before. And I think coachsurfing can be a positive one and can open my eyes in a lot of things. :)

Interests

Sports, Music, Travelling, Physicx, Philosophy, Travelling, Learning, Cooking...

I think I have a lot of diverse interests... I'm quite diverse.
First of all, I love sports and physical activity (obviouslly) because is what I have studied. So I love to practice a lot of sports everyday, and I love to practice a lot of different sports like: martial arts (I have done karate 12 years), crossfit, calisthenics, climbing, running, mountainbike, collective sports.. and I really love to dance; I have been dancing all my life, when I was a kid I used to dance traditional galician dance. And when I was a teenager, I found breakdancing and tricking (is like acrobatics and martial arts). And since then I have always loved Breakdancing ( or Bboying is also called).
Nowadays, due to my last year of uni I'm not dancing really much but my idea, is to start dancing again in a few months, and to try a lil bit of latin dance.

I am person that likes to meditate and to think a lot about the world, life and about the reality. So I like philosophy quite a lot, and I used to read some books about Phylosophy and Psichology years ago. I like also Physics a lot, and my intention is to study Physics after finish my degree of Sciences of Sport this year.

I like Culture in general, for me culture is like a hobby an I use it a lot to chill or to relax. I like culture in general... but I love music a lot, and I love movies and documentaries too. I always try to use music to learn, something or to interact with an idea. I have played many instruments during my life, but only two during a lot of years and seriously... and are Low-whistles, whistles and Barroque flutes and Bagpipes. ahahaha Yes.. I play bagpipe, and all.. because my family comes from Galicia, how I've said, and this part of Spain has a queltic culture in the background, so I have played Low-whistles (irish flutes) and the galician bagpipe from 6 or 7 years old until 16 years old.

Right now I'm not partying a lot, but I have to time ago. Anyway it depends on the moment. And I really enjoy sometimes to go out, to dance, to socialize so yeah!

And finally, and obviously.. I love to travel.. I love to travel a lot. Right now I'm starting with Europe, but my idea is to travel to Asia, Oceania and Southamerica the next years. And I'd love to live in Oceania a lil bit, for example. For this year, I have planified more travels to Europe to UK, Hungary and Croatia or to Morroco too.

And I don't know... how I've said, I love to socialize; I have always thought that something that makes the life the wonderfull that it is, is the people. So I like to socialize, because basically is learning, and learning is always positive. :D

And I don't know what can I say... I just like to learn; a lot... So I'm always looking for different themes. How I've said I'm wuite diverse, but on what I'm focused depends a lot on the time of my life, of the year, of the month... I don't know, I try to flow a lot... So Sometimes I like to focus on something and somtimes I just change. I try to live in the moment, because for me is the only real way to connect with reality, and I try to adapt myself to every situation and to FLOW ...because Is what gives me peace.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mmmm I think that I have had a lot of great experiences. And Actually I'm more focused on that these experiences are for me that how these experiences are looked by the others.. :D

I think that the great experience that I have had in my life, is my own process of being more concious about my self, about who I am and about my reality.

Anyway I'm gonna explain you two experiences that were really intense in that time..
One was to play in the Football Stadium of Lorient, in front of thousands of people, with my old queltic band.
And the most recent one was to travel around Europe during a month with blablacar, hitchhiking, coachsurfing and visiting some friends.

Anyway, I think and I hope.. that great experiences are now coming; because now I'm more mature, and I controll myself more and what is really important I'm more openminded and fearless. :D

My big projects now are to travel a lot, around Europe, America, Asia.. and I would like to live in Oceania a lil bit! But I just try to follow the moment :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Mmm.. I think that what I can teach better right now, is related to my studies and profession. Due to have studied Physical Activity and Sciences of Sport; I Can help people to knowmore their body. Sport focused on Health is what I know more about. Exercises for injuries, Exercises for health depending on the goals (to thin, to fatten, maintinning, create muscule, definition); diets..

And I love to talk about the world, life and about spirituality, I love to talk about how can a person change into positive, and how to feel better.

Anyway I try to be openminded, and to create relations of teaching and learning with anybody. I do think that one can learn a lot of things from every situation or every person.

I'm so sorry guys.. but RIGHT NOW, I'm travelling around Europe, so I can't offer any space in Barcelona.
The final week of January I will arrive to Barcelona, after a long travel and after living in Germany.

I'll be living with some familiars until find an own place for me.
Since I'll have my own flat or room I will offer a coach or a bed, or whatever in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, that is a city next to Barcelona.

I'm sorry guys, but right now I can't.

Anyway I'm totally ok, with give a coach or a bed, a bathroom or to cook with the visitors.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Actually, I think I can share anything.
My highest expectations are to have a piece of floor to sleep. And if you can give that to me I'll be really gratefull. I don't have any problems to sleep on the floor, and normally I always have a sleeping bag and folded mat in my backpack.
If you are offering to me other things, I'll just will be really gratefull. And normally I always feel happy to give back all the help that you are bringing to me somehow.
If you want to know more about me I don't have anyproblem to add you on Facebook, so my profile will give you a better idea about myself.

Mmm I try to not have any steorotype or cliche. I mean, I don't like to judge people, because I think everybody is free to live life how anybody wants.
With a peace of floor I'll be gratefull, because is something that you voluntarily choice to give to the people.
:D
