Hi everyone!
I'm a laid back catalan guy from Barcelona, in the north-east of Spain. Most likely you know my city because of Gaudí's architecture and Sagrada Família.

I studied architecture, which I guess gave me a technical but also creative approach to life. So I like buildings but I really like urbanism too and understanding how cities work. I think they are one of the most complex human inventions.

I consider myself quite social and I like to spend my time outdoors, either getting to know amazing cities or hiking on the mountains. I actually backpacked several times, during Interrail trips in Europe or just along hiking routes.

I think most of the people have something to offer to your life and you can learn from them. So I'm open to any kind of plans, from a coffee to travel around... hit me up! :)

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Well, I'm currently in China for some months, just arrived some days ago and I already find it an amazing country!!

I'm passionate about languages and chinese is one of the languages I'm learning now, so it would be AMAZING to practice with any local :) 我只会说一点儿中文，我已经学习两年中文了。我非常喜欢中国啊！

I would actually get to know the true Chinese life, what you usually do with your friends, "tourist-made" stuff get me a bit sick... So I'd be glad if you could show me a tiny bit of your daily life :)

Interessi

I'm really passionate about travelling and languages, I think it's really beautiful to see how different cultures in the world have different approaches to life and their ways of living, and specially how that is reflected in language. I actually would like to learn every language, if possible!

It also catches my attention every cultural expression through music, art, architecture, dances... We live in such a diverse world and it's a pity we won't ever know half of it...!

Musica, film e libri

I don't have an specific kind of music I listen to, but I would say one of the top would be songwriters, traditional, pop, and of course, when going out, partying music too. I really like musicals and if I had the chance I would go more often to watch them.

Regarding books, I read fantasy (like Tolkien) and novels, but the genre I lately fancy the most are distopies (like Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?). One of the best books I ever read is Aldous Huxley's "A Brave New World".

About films, I like the ones which make you unease or that don't have a clear explanation and generate debate. For exemple, Memento, Inception or Shutter Island. Also Hard Candy was quite shocking.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I don't know if you know much about Spanish or Catalan traditions, but I joined "Castellers". Castellers is a group of people which gather to build human towers, and so I did! I'm usually one of the guys supporting the tower in the lower levels.

Here you have a couple of links so you can now more about it! This tradition is actually UNESCO world Heritage!

Insegna, impara, condividi

Languages or the basics of human towers!

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

As I mentioned before, I'm quite an open guy and really love practising languages. So if you wan to learn a bit of the languages I speak, feel free to ask! (Spanish, Catalan, English and French).

Of course I'm up for going out and having fun together! :)
