Hi! I'm Arnau, a travel and culture enthusiast. For me, traveling is more than just visiting beautiful places; it's about connecting with people, hearing their stories, and sharing authentic moments.
I love exploring beaches, mountains, and charming villages. I also enjoy deep conversations about sports, movies, music, or anything that sparks curiosity.
If you visit Catalonia, I'd be happy to show you its most beautiful spots—whether by car or walking aimlessly to discover hidden gems. I'm always eager to learn new things and enjoy language exchanges.
Come and join the adventure! Anímate a venir! Som-hi! 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I believe in the idea of creating meaningful connections while traveling.
For me, it’s not just about exploring new places but also about meeting people who can turn a journey into an unforgettable experience.
Couchsurfing allows me to step out of my comfort zone, experience the world through others' perspectives, and contribute to a global community that values hospitality, openness, and cultural exchange.
I’m here to connect, learn, and share moments that leave lasting impressions, both as a host and a traveler.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a lover of diverse music. I love indie (artists like Bon Iver or Florence + The Machine), classic rock (Queen or U2) and more modern rhythms like Latin pop or folk. I like listening to international music like Cold Play, Manu Chao or The Rolling Stones reflecting your interest in cultures.
I also enjoy discovering local music in every place I visit.
My favorite movies include classics like The Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump, as well as sci-fi movies like Interstellar or Matrix. Besides, I enjoy adventure and action movies or I've even enjoyed the odd horror and thriller.
A good book I consider to be The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. However, I am always open to recommendations for music, films or books. I love learning about other people's tastes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had was going on a safari in Tanzania. Witnessing the vast Serengeti at sunrise, seeing majestic lions up close, and watching the Great Migration unfold were unforgettable moments. Hearing the sounds of the savannah at night and feeling the raw beauty of nature all around was truly humbling and transformative. It reminded me of the immense power and beauty of our planet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basics of Spanish or Catalan, including fun phrases or tips for pronunciation. I also love sharing insights about Catalonia—its culture, traditions, and the best hidden spots to explore. If you're curious about cooking, I can show you how to prepare a simple local dish.
I'm eager to learn about your culture, language, and any unique skills you can share. Whether it’s a local recipe, music recommendations, or stories from your travels, I’m always ready to soak up new knowledge!
I’d love to share travel stories, good conversations, and even take you on a road trip to show you some of the most beautiful beaches, mountains, or towns in Catalonia. I believe in creating meaningful connections and memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer great company and a positive attitude. I’m happy to share travel stories, teach some Spanish or Catalan (and maybe a few fun phrases).
If you’re interested, I’d love to show you of my favorite places in Catalonia and share recommendations for your future travels. I’m also a good listener and enjoy having meaningful conversations about life, travel, and culture.
And of course, I’ll always respect your space and help out however I can— assisting with small tasks around the house. I believe in creating a balanced and enjoyable exchange for both of us.
