After many years of teaching archaeology in my country, Catalonia, I went backpacking for almost 2 years around five continents of the world. Afterwards I lived in Australia for 8 years and I have recently moved back to Catalonia.

I'm living in a small coastal village, paradise, but I miss a bit of cultural diversity. I do miss talking to people from different countries and backgrounds. So, it will be my pleasure to host you if it works out.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I believe that meeting people from different cultures give us the big picture and makes us not only more knowledgeable but also more courageous, free and tolerant. And, certainly, my trips around the world wouldn´t have been half as interesting without Cs.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Love to share travelling stories; discuss views; cooking something from my country to my hosts if they are up to it, and go around with them if it suits them (I can also be independent).
