Overview
About Me
I'm 24 and I'm from a little town near the sea in the northeast of Catalonia called Mataro. I need the sea for living, be near of natural enviroment. I studied History at Autonoma University of Barcelona and I'm a real passionate of History, Archaeology, Literature, Antrophology, Art and Philosophy. I'm also a musician and cartoonist, I would love play music with people who likes to have fun and express their souls trought instruments and any kind of art. Live is to short and I would like to share experiencies and passions with the higher number of nice people possible.
I really really love reading, I can't live without books. Since I was a child I love north american literature and medieval tales. I'm fascinated by United States History and the middle ages, I imagine myself like Huckleberry Finn or any kind of Brondel, playing music and telling tales hahaha
I would like to think that I'm a nice, happy and gentle person. I'm looking forward to meet new people, make new friends, share my life with others. I'm a little shy at first, but very soon I become funny and crazy (in the good sense, I'm always making silly jokes and doing absurd things). I'm always doing things, I can't stay without doing something. My philosophy of life is a little hippy, please don't get scare hahahaha, I'm always smiling and in good wave
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've been travelling since I was 18, but right now I'm discovering Coachsurfing. I made two of my bests friends in Poland when I travelled there some years ago, and I would like to repeat the experience meeting and trying to connect with new people. I'm sure it will work!

I also love irish folk, medieval music, psicodelic rock and any kind of music from 60's decade, specially Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joan Baez, The Band, Janis Joplin or The Allman Brothers
Reading is one of my passions, and I can't live without books. I like north american literature, some of my favourite authors are Jack London, James Curwood, Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, Betty Smith, Jack Kerouac, Erskine Caldwell or Tim O'Brien. I like any kind of historic novel or medieval literature too, anything with castles, knights, outlaws and adventures; stories of King Arthur, Robin Hood, Joan of Arc, King Lionhearth or Beowulf. And of course, a lot of history and archaeology books, specially north american and medieval history. I also like philosophy, authors like Albert Camus, Thoreau or John Stuart Mill.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I played music with my favourite music band, The hillbilly gypsies. It was one of the best moments of my life
Teach, Learn, Share
I think that I can share much things of my life to people. If you wanna try learn to play the banjo of some instruments, I can try to teach you. I can also give drawing and painting lessons. And of course, I can talk hours and hours of History and literature, If you are interested
