About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm here because i want to welcome everybody in the woooooorld!

ABOUT ME

I'm friendly, open minded and easy going person. I'm independent, so moments by myself are important as much as moments to know new people. I love travelling but I don't like tourism. I like listen to people, and try to understand other sorts of life.
In my opinion time is the real treasure, and money is just something we don't have to care much about.

PHILOSOPHY

I think life can be short but we have enough time for living different lifes. I feel I can't breathe if I imagine myself living the same things in the same place for years and years.
I find peace when I do something without thinking about paying or being paid for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer you support if u want to visit Barcelona, Catalunya or even "secrets" places in Spain, where you will find out the real culture and history. I will try to offer you a place to sleep and will come with u for visiting some places.
I live in a small town, 20km from Barcelona.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have little experience. I have hosted three times and always was really good!!! So I hope to have more couchsurfers at home... :-)

Interests

I like photography, music, art, nature, animals, good food, wines and beers. I'm interested in history and overall in knowing a culture by talking to people.
I feel good riding my bike, cycling, trekking, and swimming.
I believe in volunteer action and international cooperation. I have experience with Red Cross and other organzsations. They really work!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like reading books with topics like History, Geography, Economy.I prefer personal and no commercial movies like "Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame", "Private". I really like english movies. They are so real, ironic...!
I listen many kinds of music. I specially like the pop of the '80s and grounch and britpop of the '90s

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favourites experiences was my trip around centralamerica and Mexico. I could meet many interesting people and I also visited indigenous villages in Chiapas and Guatemala. I was there for 3 months taking photos for a NGO magazine. I learned so much!
I lived 3 years in Rome. My heart is still there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can support you with photography technics and cocepts. I can help u to understand the correct language for taking good pictures: light, composition etc.
I would like to learn to play the guitar and the oboe. Can u help me? :-)
