I earn a living in Olot (catalonia, NE iberian peninsula) doing the fun and useful job of freelance english conversation classes for adults in groups and as individuals, usually in cafes for an authentic chatty atmosphere. on the side, and definitely non-profit, I have 250 4-year-old olive trees (as of yet not productive) between my house and the Costa Brava; I'm a sort of "underground" cook, hosting infrequent spontaneous invite-only low-key experimental dinner parties...
really, I'm an ice cream chef; i make hand - churned, crazy, and other times pure-and-simple ice creams, for birthdays and other special moments, inspired by that moment and/or person.

i travel a lot in the area and abroad so i'm often not around to host, but please try me because i look forward to hosting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

mi casa es tu casa and vice versa. no borders. xenos. anyone who knocks at your door could be a deity, or more probably, a very cool person, so let's treat them/us as such..
