About Me

i would love to describe myself but my opinion will be really partial...i hope some people will meet me and with their references they will be more objective than me

Basic sentences of my philosophy of life:

take the serious with humour and the humour seriously

never be afraid of love

broke the rules when you consider them unfair

live and let live

don't do the others what you don't like the others do to you

the longest trip start with a single step forward

be rich in moments or experiencies and not in money or things

no pain, no gain

success and happiness is an attitude not a goal

enjoy the present and the pleasure of small things

there is no human perfection, the only perfection exists in Nature

better prevention than curation

everyday learn something or someone new

everything is relative: change your point view and things will improve

the most valuable comoditie is TIME: don't waste your time with non interesting people

Are you ready to meet me and share all of them?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i have been always involved in cooperation movements and NGO with children, old people, disabled or discapacities,...to share my health and training knowledges to improve their lifes

at the end, i learned more from them because they contagiated their entushiasm for life to me.

CS is a great platform to meet people around the world and to promote a sostenible tourism living with local conditions; sharing culture, food, language, way of live, ...

for me this experience, that i already did with my NGO colaborations, is the essence of a traveller and the basic diference with a tourist, who will spend all the trip in luxury hotels and planificated tour-groups without meeting any local people.

make holiday or a trip without involving myself in the local comunity is losing the greatest experience you could ever feel!!!

of course i would also love to host people from all around the world and share with them my culture, knowledge, ... and CS is the best opportunity to do that!!

hope to meet u soon and enjoy together our lifes!!

Music, Movies, and Books

With music, im not a really expert...i like all kind of music depending of my emotional feelings...sometime a bit techno-house, others romantic, others latin-spanish, jazz, classic music, opera and i also love SILENCE or listen the nature music in an empty forest or at the top of a lonely mountain...for every moment i have a diferent style

About cinema, last time i was there watching a movie was 7-8 years ago...i have to be honest and i prefer to spend my time "filming" my life movie everyday

With reading and books, i can recomend you the next ones, from all the more of 300 hundred i have read in my life:

"7 Habits of higly effective people" Stephen R.Covey

"Save your body" Dr. Kousmine

"Thinking, fast and slow" Daniel Kanhemann

"Lick the sugar habit" Nancy Appleton

"Start late and finish rich" David Bach

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

lots of them but the best new experience is still for discover...will you help me?

Teach, Learn, Share

i would love to learn everything new or interesting and i will be glad to share my knowledge in:

Spanish or other languages i can speak

Traditional spanish food

Adventure sports and physical activity

Nutrition and healthy stuff

Cooperation and NGO programs

Economical freedom tips

What do you want to share or teach me?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a small house a bit outside of the city with my nice cat...is NOT the best place if you want to have party, get drunk and visit the main tourist atractions of Barcelona...also is NOT near the airport or for one night travellers in the way to or from there...of course is NOT your couch if you are allergic to cats.

is your place if you want to feel the local atmosphere in the countryside with no polution, no stress, no noise and far from the tourist crowds

the public transportation access is dificult but i have car... i can show you around the best mountain and coast landscapes because they are at 30-40 mins drive.

if you want to be my guest please take a bit of time to read my profile and WRITE PERSONAL REQUEST including one of my philosophy sentences, which you like the most and the reason. I DON'T ANSWER COPY-PASTE OR LAST MINUTE REQUESTS.
