Hey ! This is my first experience as a couchsurfer - My real name is Joseph although everyone calls me Pepe since a very young age. I grew up in a place called Girona, between Barcelona and France. I move to Barcelona when I was 18 to study graphic, product and interior design and I am currently based in London working in the arts industry. Love cooking, reading, beach, enjoying the sun and live music - Always up for good brunch and bloody mary x

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a free spirit traveling around the world anxious to meet and learn from new people through the path that is called life - From my experience I always truly believed that the best way to experience a city you are visiting is by meeting native people which usually opens the door to conversation, good tips, new friends and unforgettable moments.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am very into all types of music although some of my favourite are Blood Orange, Future Islands, Frank Ocean, Phoenix, Crystal Fighters, The xx, John Talabot, The Presets, Chet Faker, Floating Points & William Fitzsimmons. When it comes to movies I am all about Pedro Almodovar and Xavier Dolan. Always enjoy a good cup of coffee with a Leo Tolstoy, Gabriel García Marquez or Oscar Wilde reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have ever done and I am really proud of is recently having the strength of quitting my job and opening my own company which is I will be launching in a couple of months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a background in design and art - any help I can provide around this matters will be more than shared. I always try to learn from the people I am surrounded - from traditional customs to cooking, anything that can be useful in the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking - It is one of my main goals and passions - A proper Spanish meal accompanied by a nice red Rioja Spanish wine through some conversation.
