About Me

Im teaching video/photo. Some classes are in English. It would be hilarious if you'd like to share!

I work in Lloret I can pick you up in Girona at 7AM. Drive you to Lloret. I will recommend to hike 'cami de ronda' and we can meet in my class. I really love to share other ideas and if you'd like, you can explain some part of your story or even teach photo or video.

After that you can decide if you want to stay at Lloret or coming back with me to Girona!

IS IT POSSIBLE A LIFE OF CONSTANT TRAVEL?
My beginning are inside a RB ‘motorhome’, when I wasn’t playing hockey or during my vacations, my dad packed all we needed and we only had to wait for mom, (she always needs extra time). Then we were ready to travel around Europe.

It was quite difficult to be inside of a small RB. That’s why I started to love the youth hostels and I discovered the long journeys.

My first solo travel was in CAMINO DE SANTIAGO. I needed something to prove myself when I was sixteen. Next year with a couple of friends we did CAMINO DEL NORTE and since then, I haven’t STOPED!

While I was working and studying, I had 1 month’s vacation. And I definitely used it to hike in WEST HIGHLAND WAY in Scotland, in Greece I stepped in THE ATHOS PENINSULA and MOUNT OLYMPUS. Because we got cheap flights in Europe, I went through all the BALTICS Countries (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania).

Before starting my big travel, I persuaded one of my mates to do my first ROAD TRIP in Poland. With the Devils association we had a big PARTY in Germany and almost before living my hometown I did a volunteer ROAD TRIP project in Serbia for 15 days.

... In 2016-17... NORTH EUROPE AND NORTH EAST ASIA
My dad and I flew in Moscow, we traveled through Rusia by train but he came back home from Novosibirsk and I continued my long journey in Asia. I went through Mongolia and China by train and I flew to Egypt because of love. Even though I came came back to south east asia because I wanted to have the full experience about Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.

...In 2017... EGYPT - SOUTH EAST ASIA - EAST EUROPE - MIDDLE EAST
I started a volunteer project (EVS) in Romania for a 9 months, but they cheated the project and we decided that we had the opportunity to travel around, that time was when I discovered hitchhiking.

It has been one of the most lovely time of my life, I travel to many countries in the easter Europe. (Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, Turkey and of course Romania). Also I started to understand how amazing it is not knowing what it would be the next day, So I planed to visit Israel, Palestina and Jordania.

... in 2018 ... EAST AND WEST UNITED STATES
I became an Aupair (nanny) in USA. It is one of cheapest ways to visit USA for a year without paying that much. I lived 6 month in New York (Westchestern) and I moved to San Francisco for 7 more month. While I lived in the East Coast I changed my perspective of the States and I started to figure out the nexts years.

... in 2019 ... PATAGONIA AND WEST SOUTH AMERICA, NORTH AND CENTRAL CARIBBEAN
I became again a solo traveler and I started to hitchhike in South America. I‘ve got a flight ticket from Aupair agency and I flew to Argentina. One of my best experience in my life has been hiking/hitchhiking and enjoying in Patagonia going through border in Chile and flying to Paraguay. I traveled for 2 months in Bolivia, Peru where I got in love with Huaraz and I visited Colombia and Ecuador.

Traveling in México with my friend Diana was an awesome experience, I went to Belice and Guatemala until I could fly to Cuba. It has became the most awkward experience while I was visiting the country with my dad.

... in 2020 ... CENTRAL AMERICA AND EAST SOUTH AMERICA Salvador and Honduras changed my mind, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama was a lovely’ experience surrounded by nature.

I’m reaching Brasil through Amazonia. I'm coming back to my hometown SALT, I’m ready for ‘les festes majors’

On March I flew from Manaus to Barcelona because of the coronvirus.

...in 2021... BACK TO GIRONA I've been working as a leiseure teacher and camera man sometimes. With Julia we visited SLOVENIA by van.

...in 2022... I'm studying to be a teacher in a high school. We have been travel to India (Rajasthan, Ladakh and Varanasi!

...in 2023... We are planning Great Britain, Scotland and Great Britain by van. Any tips and idea would be amazing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel COUCHSURFING is the most amazing exchange app it has been.

Because I love to exchange with people. To have the opportunity to be in the other’s houses. When I was a teenager I was always wondering how was the life in my made’s house.

There is no other app as amazing as Couchsurfing. I’m using Tinder to meet locals, but the opportunity to be a guest in some homes, it’s just AMAZING!

Interests

I studied Audiovisual (image&sound). It’s about filming, recording, editing.

Hiking in the mountain and camp outside.

Sharing ideas, speaking with someone with beer or smoking shisha.

Making fire, be "Diable" tradional party about fire and fireworks in Correfocs.

Remember my moments when i was scout and making some buildings with wood.

Watching a Barça's team in a pub, sharing smilings, drinking a beer and eating a big sandwich.
