About Me

YOLO sounds funny as an acronym for 'you only live once', but it's the genuine motto in my life. Don't dwell the past, don't sit and wait for the future. Just enjoy every moment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Back in 2006, I was living in Barcelona and someone told me about this website. I signed up to host travellers and feel like I travel with them.

Nowadays I'm living in London with limited space for hosting, but eager to meet other travellers and impact their experience positively.

Interests

Walking unknown streets, trying new food, smiling to strangers, meet new people, jamming music with strangers... Getting out of the comfort zone and keep growing.
When it gets to proper hobbies, I enjoy a well-written book, a photographic film, dancing ballet and the tango, singing jazz, walking in a landscape and riding a bike.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is the one played with the heart. You can really notice the difference when someone is genuinely enjoying what he/she is playing.
My taste goes from jazz to rock, passing by minimalism and ambiance. Nina Simone, Yo La Tengo, Charles Mingus, the Pixies, Philip Glass...
Regarding book authors, Julio Cortazar and Hélène Berr are my top at this time.
Nouvelle vague in movies. But hey, just ask.
