CURRENT MISSION Me and my girlfriend Caroline are in a around-the-world trip. ABOUT ME I'm 33 years old. I finished a degree in Economics for the Autonomous University of Barcelona, I work in the public sector and I am about to start a new travel adventure. My passion is traveling and knowing other cultures, and I like very much trying different cuisines from abroad. I enjoy very much the nature. I also like to do trekking, and climb mountains (or volcanos).I also like motorcycles as I am a biker (its my top means of transport, and I have done interesting routes through Catalonia and France with it).
Interested in Books & Literature
Interested in Economics
Fluent in Catalan, Valencian
Learning English
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am on Couchsurfing because I think it helps to know new places from another perspective, from a more realistic one. Staying at a "real home" from someone that lives at the place you are going can teach you very interesting things about the places. Now I'm looking for hosts for my next traveling adventure and I'll try to contribute as good as I can with knowledge about my country and culture or about other countries where I have been. Me and my couple love to cook, so we also can contribute with cooking some delicious meal.
Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to all kind of music but I specially like: electronic, Jazz and RB. Movies: The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Inception. And a Dragon Ball fan 😅. I like to read books about science fiction and historical novels, and of course books about traveling (Javier Reverte, for example). One book that I specially remember and that pushed me to want to know travel to EEUU is "On the Road" (Jack Kerouac).
One Amazing Thing I've Done
-I tried to climb through the forest up to the Great Wall in China with some other travelers that I met. -I traveled across all Malaysia and Borneo just doing hitchhiking, and met amazing people by doing it. -I completed a Marathon (this is is not the most amazing fact, the amazing fact is that I got my girlfriend to do it with me). - I have crossed South America from north to south following the Andes mountain range.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Teach Catalan/Spanish Have a good conversation about culture, travel, politics, economics, anything! Cooking Just have a good time together
