About Me

Before asking to stay,
please consider that I don't live in Barcelona, not even near. 30 km. Need a bus from northern Barcelona -Sagrera- and then about 15-20 min. walking to get my home. and I go to Barcelona the fewest times I can.

On the other hand, if you're interested in the inner and less touristic Catalunya maybe -depending on my schedule- I can show you some interesting place.

if that's ok, here my intro

I believe in freedom and respect. So I think all people should share what they have. I've been given a good house, so it's open to any good person -most of us, then...- Sometimes I'm a bit contradictory, I can be very serious but then joking... It depends on the moment, of course.

I live with two somehow old dogs, Àstor and Bilbo. Bilbo is a bit more foolish, always happy. Àstor seems quieter, he's protective. Both are aged 12/13 and like very much people -even children-.

PHILOSOPHY
Epicur. Kropotkin. Socrates. Chomsky. And sparks of many others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of sharing, so we can escape from the selfishness of capitalism. Such ideas like CS make us stronger.
