Overview
About Me
Student and basketball player/coach, I've been always curious about everything, trying to learn something everyday and creating strong relationships with the people that is around me.
Since I moved to Thailand for my exchange (August 2015-January 2016), I noticed that I haven't been enough open-minded and friendly than I thought. Therefore, I'm looking forward to meet new people and expand my horizons, while I have the chance to show the land that I love, Catalunya, to any coachsurfer/s who are willing to come and visit this amazing corner of the world where I live.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I always loved traveling around world, and I've learned that the best way to do it is looking at every place from the local point of view. Coachsurfing could allow me to really get to know every place I visit, at the same time that I can show Barcelona and Catalunya from a unique perspective. Moreover, as I'm trying to open myself to the world, I'm really excited to meet people from all over the world, know how the see life and understand every culture from inside.
Interests
I'm passionate about every sport, non other more important than basketball, that has defined my personality and the way I am since I started to play 15 years ago.
Hanging out with friend, while having a good beer and a good conversation is a moment that I really love.
I'm highly interested in the business world, especially about entrepreneurship and marketing strategy, as the suppose a great challenge for me, that requires the best of me.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love almost all kind of music, mainly chill music, like deep house or reggae.
I've watched all types of movies, but my favorites are action movies, such as the Bourne trilogy.
I usually read book about marketing and consumer behavior, as I'm very interested about how it works the mind of the consumer. I also like to read biographies of innovative characters, that have change the world forever, like Steve Jobs or Richard Branson.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've been traveling all around the world with my mother since I was 5 years old, getting the opportunity to meet completely different cultures from a young age. There's a trip that was key for me as it changed my entire way of seeing my world: Myanmar. I went there when I was 13 years old (conflictive age). After spending one month in one country where everybody was humble and had always a smile for me, I realized how fortunate I am. Since then, I've had those images in my mind, and my personality has been clearly influenced by them.
Teach, Learn, Share
I feel very lucky of being born in Catalunya, as I consider that it is a great place to live. I've been trying to visit every part and knowing as much as I can about every building, beach or mountain. I would like to share all this knowledge, at the same time that I would like to get feedback from the couchsurfers about what they think about my country.
I'm also willing to learn as much as I can about every country I visit, as I think that knowing different realities than mine is critical for me development as a human being.
What I Can Share with Hosts
When they come to come my place I would like them to know the real Catalunya, and understand why I love so much my country.
