I'm a physician (Medical Doctor) living in LA BARCELONETA neighborhood, super close to the beach. I've got a flat with plenty of room and a small, friendly pup to keep us company. If you're hitting me up to crash at my place through Couchsurfing, HERE'S THE DEAL: I'm all about hosting, but I'M NOT RUNNING A FREE HOTEL HERE. So, let's get one thing straight from the get-go – if you're just looking for a free place to crash without any intention of sharing or contributing, you might want to keep scrolling or check out the nearest hostel.

I believe Couchsurfing is all about sharing experiences, stories, and cultures. It's not just about a free bed. So, if you're up for some good conversations, sharing a meal, or even just a bit of your travel wisdom, we'll get along just fine.

But if you're the type to come empty-handed, expecting a one-sided experience, then you might want to rethink your approach. COUCHSURFING IS A TWO-WAY STREET, AND IT'S THE GENEROSITY AND OPENNESS OF BOTH THE HOST AND THE GUEST THAT MAKE IT SPECIAL

Now, if you're a bit skeptical about me, that's understandable. So, here's a solution: Feel free to review my Linkedin profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramiromanzanonu/, where you can learn more about my professional background as a physician. You can also check out my Instagram at @manzanonunez90 to get a glimpse of my life.

If any of that works for you and you're ready to share, learn, and make some unforgettable memories together, hit me up. If not, well, there are plenty of other options out there. Choose wisely, and happy travels! 🌍✌️"

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I recently watched NOMALAND. The philosophy of the movie and one specific quote motivated me to start Couchsurfing: "But I think you’ve come to the right place to find an answer. I think that I think connecting to nature, and to a real true community, and tribe will make all the difference for you. I hope so." - EVERY traveler should watch and enjoy this movie

Música, películas y libros

Music: Salsa music from Fanial all stars. My favorite Salsa song: "Lo que dijo la gitana". I enjoy the AWESOME MUSIC VOL 1 and 2 from Guardians of the galaxy.

I love a great portion of music. I can listen to Bob Dylan one day and Bad Bunny another- I believe you must have some literacy about the pop culture of your time because that’s the glue that will allow you to socialize and have fun.

Favorite book: Man in search of meaning and - 2. Being mortal by Atul Gawande. Among others. One hundred years of solitude, for sure in my list.
Brothers Karamazov - Dostoyevsky
Siddartha - el lobo estepario : both Herman Hesse
El coronel no tiene quien le escriba : Gabriel García Márquez
Los abismos : Pilar Quintana

Algo increíble que he hecho

I strive to see the magic in everything I do daily, not to seek validation from others, but to reinforce within myself that I am leading a truly meaningful life. One remarkable experience that stands out is my time as a physician, working on a hospital ship in impoverished rural areas of Colombia

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Teach - stoic philosophy, salsa dancing, and what I know about Barcelona.
Learn: I am open to knowing you and learning FROM you. Every person has a value that can be translated into knowledge, experience, and histories to tell.
Share: my room, my home.
