About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I changed from traveling alone to travel with my SO but we are not this kind of people that go by themselves, we still use CS and homeexchange, love to meet locals and mix with them, always searching for the real flavor of the place, instead of the precooked stuff for tourists

ABOUT ME

joyful, talkative and interested in all the topics in this life from philosophy to computer sciences, from architecture to climbing mountains. Sportive and a friend of the mountain. Lover of my little country (catalonia) my neighbors (Spain) and all other countries and cultures.

Just a beginer of everything but always ready for new lessons: )

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know... meeting people, being nice, sharing knowledge and stories with people you find on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was hosting when I was living by my own at univsersity, now I live with my SO in a small flat with no too much room so we can basically meet for coffee or beer :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It all started with one trip through the Netherlands with stops in rotterdam, den haag and amsterdam. The experience was so astonishing that after that, I've surfed through France, Spain (yes, even in my own country), Ireland, Belgium, Scotland, UK, Nederland, Canada and Iceland :)
When I was living in Austria I was hosting people and it also was such an experience, now I'm looking forward to move to a larger flat and have some spare room to share :)
