About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling for 5 months through Oceania and Asia recording musicians and sharing experiences to show that MUSIC IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE :)

Plan: Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, India, Pakistan...

ABOUT ME

I consider myself an extroverted and open minded person who always thinks in positive. Down to earth and organized from one side, but fun and crazy from the other. I am a good listener and I love sharing experiences with other people.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoying the moment without thinking too much on what could happen then. Avoiding problems and Hakuna Matata. Life is too short to get lost in many details. Keep going with a smile on your face and help others without expecting anything else that feeling well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking forward meeting new people and travelling a lot. I live with my parents and my little sister so it's not easy for me to host. Anyway, As long as I am in Barcelona, it's a pleasure for me to show all places there and meet people in such an awesome city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On this InterRail trip I've done with two friends I have surfed in some places and it couldn't have been better. I was with Daniel in Geneva, which also showed us the city and brought us to visit Bern and Zurich by car. In this last city we have been hosted by Umer as well, so the joy was kept in a continuous way. Then, Marcus host us for 2 nights in Vienna, such a beautiful city. And finally Nick took care of us in Amsterdam, no words. We can't wait to do more CS. It's just AWESOME!

Interests

I'm a music freak. I love hearing as many different types of music as I can, play it, dance it... I actually play the drums and the ukelele. I like sports as well, especially basketball.. I am usually met old and new friends all the time, I try to learn about them and not to lose them. Staying alone wasting time is something I hate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling around Europe, I've done some crazy things as jumping from 10m to the water in Geneva's lake, pretend to be a student in a Wien University and make a final exam in there, sleeping in a train station... Scuba diving in Tailand was one of my favourite things to do there.
Also in my life I have jumped on the parachute and doing a music/drumming performance every place I go.

Teach, Learn, Share

An important friend of mine coming from CS experience told me once that

"the real life starts when you're out of your comfort zone"

True words, but the difficult part is to put it in practice, so take this sentence as yours, share it, learn from it, and explain the meaning it has for you.

Live it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

It would be amazing to keep learning from people, that hopefully become friends. I've got a lot to share and to teach regarding technology, music, games, everything, but what really matters to me is to learn as much as I can while I have a great time with someone. So please, the more we give, is the more we got.
