About Me

CURRENT MISSION

running away from routine

ABOUT ME

I am living in Barcelona now in a shared appartment. This is not my home city but after more than 2 years I feel at home here.
I love music, I usually spend every bit of my free time listening to and playing music. I play guitar, keybords, harp, flute, ukulele and some percussion. I am quite an easy-going guy, happy and calm.
I can feel there is something wrong in this world and I would love to change it.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it easy, everything will be allright.
look at the bright side of life. there is enough trouble in life as to worry about every bit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It was already 4 years ago when I first heard about Couch surfing. By that time I only signed in to see how it worked, but I didn´t look at it twice. It has not been until recently that I decided to play a more active role here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now i have only heard of couch surfing experiences from friends of mine and I have only met guests through them while visiting the city. The great atmosphere that couch surfing inspires has encouraged me to move ahead in this iniciative.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the best experiences I have had is to live for a week in the western Sahara refugee camp. Living as one of them you can start to feel how the world really works.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've teached some guitar to friends already. Just playing together is a great opportunity for both to learn.
We can do language exchange for Spanish, Catalán, English, Slovak and French. Even though my native language is Spanish it could be a great chance to practice other languages.
We can share different points of view in life over a nice chat and a few beers.
We can share experiences while visiting around. I have quite a lot of free time and I would enjoy showing you the best places in the city.
