HOST Love to show you our culture, history and who we are as a country. I have 3 bedrooms flat, 2 of them are where I work (store and home office). So my place has a big sofa bed in the living room for hosts. We can either go to the known places but also local spots with moto or car. WHO I AM: Now I have a quiet life; I live in a beach town called Premià de Mar. Focus my time in 3 things; train strength, swim, martial arts and run, eat well, spend time with family and friends. ABOUT MY PAST: At 18 I decided to move to Barcelona (I’m from a beach town called El Masnou), then work on many jobs… At 20 I moved to the Pyrenees and become ski instructor for a few years; easy life, skiing all day and teaching hundreds of skiers. I love teaching and I’m good with kids. Later on, I studied Business Administration and was involved in university politics and debate association. Now, I am still active in Politics of the country. Lived in Ireland when I was 20, Malta 21. From 30 I lived in Ecuador, Colombia and Mexico until 2024. WORK: I’ve been working in startups for the last 12 years, I started mine when I was 23 and 6 months ago (2025) I launched my second business Quota Vita. I like to connect with entrepreneurs and adventurous people. Insta @gerardrosell1 Tik Tok: gerardrosell90

Teach, Learn, Share
Teach catalan, spanish, ski, martial arts, and basic salsa. I can show you how to cook spanish omelette and many traditional meals. I know a bit about wines too. I want to learn any language, now my priority is french but I always try to learn words from your language. Share experiences, what we have lived until now.
