About Me

Hello! I'm an open minded boy just desiring to discover the world and visit many different countries and cultures. I think that traveling and learning from people different from you is one of the best things that someone can do in life, because it gives you more points of view and it can discover you things that you even have thought about.
Because of this I just started to travel around the world on my own. I have started with the south-east of Asia, but if I can I would like to visit all different countries in all continents!
The kind of travel I like to experience is the one that can put me more in contact to the daily life and real way f living of the place I'm visiting. I also like t see the important monuments and some touristic places, as they are part of the history of the place, but I much more prefer the local experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, just because I love this philosophy of cultural exchange that CouchSurfing offers both to the host and the guest. We all can learn something from each other and have some fun and good time together! And nobody but someone living in the place I'm visiting can show and explain me the most interesting things to know.

Interests

Maybe it's kind of obvious... but my main interest is traveling and learn from other people and cultures. As I've said, that's one of the best things anyone can do in life.
But I also have some other interests. Such as sports and music.
I like many kind of sports, but I'm particularly interested in snowboard. I started practicing it some years ago and it's really fun! I would like also to learn the water version, the regular surf. And as we are in water now, I also like snorkeling. I've never tried and I would love to learn diving. Another thing is that I love climbing. I can be trees, rocks... whatever. I don't do it in the professional way, with all the equipment. Just to have fun! And finally, I will accept always an invitation to play football, of course.
Regarding to music, the thing is that I'm a musician. Again, not a professional one, but I'm also not an amateur. I play the drums! And I can also play chords in the guitar.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is always the local one! I'm not saying this just to cause a good impression but it's true. At home in Catalunya my favorite music is the one that's played by catalan bands in concerts. It's a very festive music, mixing rock, reggae, ska and rumba. When I'm traveling I like to listen the local music to see the differences between cultures. I may like it or not at the end, but i like to try.
With movies and books I have more or less the same tastes. I like the ones that have an interesting story and make you think a little bit. But with movies I also like comedies if they are good. So movies like Into the Wild, Inception,... but also The Hangover are ones of my favorites. With books mostly I like thrillers like the ones from Agatha Cristie or Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing I've done is to decide and start traveling alone on my own. And it's also one of the things I'm sure in the future I will be more happy about.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I've said, i think that we all can learn something from each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences and my culture. It seems not a lot, but for me is very valuable.
