About Me

Friendly, easygoing, foodie, good travelled and adventure-seeking person. I like music, campervan and red wine. Love nature and simply "being". Sometimes I like a lot to find strangers and talk about cultural and political differences, but sumetimes I like a lot the silence (with or without company).

Living in Barcelona.

ATTENTION: personal requests only. I can only host 1 person each time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had important changes in my life. I look for new ways to travel, non turistic and different way of see the world and meeting people. I host when appropriate, according to my availability. Sometimes is difficult to get committed in advance, sometimes I prefer last minute requests.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES:
Italian classic films such as Passolini, Visconti or Rossellini. And other ones from different nationalities: Almodovar, Lars Von Trier, Roman Polansky, Quentin Tarantino...

BOOKS:
I don't read so much but I readed some classics. Catalan letterature.

MUSIC:
I like listening to music all the time and I quite like so many different types of artists and songs. Bowie, Young, Queen, Beatles, Costello, De André, Straits, Doors, Extremoduro, Brel, Reed, Llach, Metallica, Oldfield, Pixies, RHCP, Sisa, System of a Down... I'm very open about it. I'm also into old music and old artists from Be-bop classic Jazz and Opera. And I love Richard Wagner operas.
