I just moved to Barcelona in October. Come and explore the city with me!

The most important thing to know is that I have to leave early to go to the office Mondays to Thursdays. I can host people on those days only if you are willing to leave with me at 7am. I get back around 6pm.

Apart from that the only house rule is to be at my place by 10pm on Sunday to Thursday evening ( so we can both get enough sleep) and midnight on Friday or Saturday night, unless we are out together, of course.

I like cooking together, going on walks and exploring with my guests, having interesting chats over beer or coffee and going to the beach. I'm interested in international politics, history, languages, science and learning about you and your culture!

If you are okay with these things, then I look forward to meeting you!

If you read my whole profile I am more likely to accept your request.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to learn about other cultures and languages. Hosting is a great way to help out travellers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Pink Floyd, Queen, Jean-Michel Jarre, Beatles, New
Order

Films: I like science fiction and anything with a good story. Ghostbusters and The Shawshank Redemption are high on my list.

Books: I mostly read non-fiction, but I do like a good story. Interview with the Vampire was good (almost preternaturally good :) ).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2022 I took a month off work and travelled through East Africa, using local buses to get between cities. People were so friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. I miss egg rolls and rolex!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a qualified English teacher, so I am happy to help you with your English skills if you want.

I work in IT, so I am always happy to swap stories of how computer systems can muck things up.

I love science, so I am always happy to talk about that.

Cooking and learning new recipes is always of interest to me. I am happy to share food if I am cooking something.

I understand that some people have limits on how sociable they can be. I am the same. If you need some time alone, I am happy to respect that.

Thank you for reading this far. You can use the word "pineapple" in your couch request to show you have read my profile thoroughly!
