About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Gain experience and produce happiness

ABOUT ME

I'm an author and illustrator, Some of my books have been translated into English, Italian, French, Chinese, Portuguese, Catalan... I appreciate very much creativity of any kind. I really enjoy all means of artistic activities: art, music, dance, theater, cinema. etc. But in any case, people are always the most interesting thing to discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered CS trough an English book! and I decided to get involved. I think it's fascinating to visit a place and experience it trough local people. it's the only way to discover the real place behind the photoshopped pictures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted people in my flat in Majorca (not many lately since now I have flatmates) and I also have stayed in many CSs places, always a very good experience. I love learning and understanding of people.

Interests

I like to spend time at my studio, always exploring new ideas. I also like going to the beach. I enjoy a good conversation about any kind of things in life. My mind is always taking notes and thinking about how to turn an experience into material for a book.
