Couch Information


No couch currently available for surfing.

I live in Vilanova i la Geltrú, a lovely town by the sea at just 40 min. from the astonishing city of Barcelona, where I lived since 2000 and I got to know quite well...I can show you the coolest cornesrs of it and tell you a lot of curious stories about Spain and tell you all about FC Barcelona football team and Camp Nou Stadium.

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Barbarakay is a fun person to have around, very pro-active, lots of get up and go. Our travelling experience was quite unique because we were working at the same time. She was always ready with a smile, had lots of stories to tell and was very easy to get on with.

She may have looked like a sad clown for Carnaval, but looks can be deceiving. Had a wonderful, if blurry, night for Carnaval. I just hope she makes it into Barcelona one day for another round of dancing!
