CURRENT MISSION

Growing cherry tomatoes on my balcony
*Update for those concerned: the tomatoes grew, and after having accomplished the mission I'm looking for a new challenge, preferably on Scandinavian ground. In the interim, I'm no longer living in Barcelona and will soon know where I'm settling next*

ABOUT ME

I guess I'm a bit of the quiet type but I'm always up for a conversation with anyone, I like to discover what's happening out there in the world and how's everything seen through the eyes of others. Count me in for a relaxed chat or going mental at a gig! I'm also one for cold and cloudy weather, which I find extremely inspiring. It lets my thoughts flow and if a guitar is on hand then there's the perfect scene. I play and sing in two bands. And I currently teach neurology related subjects at uni for a living.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was a host for a long time and will be again as soon as I can. Surfed a couple of times. All of it was wonderful and I intend to keep it going.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so great, I've already made quite a bunch of new friends, very interesting people in one way or another.

Interests

Music (listening, playing, producing), films, photography, any kind of art, really. Getting to know as many interesting places and people as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: ok, just a few picks since this could be endless. Beatles, Radiohead, Smiths, Pixies, Bowie, Sigur Rós, White Stripes, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, Joy Division, Small Faces, Neil Young, Kings Of Convenience, Brian Eno, Oasis, Strokes, Jam, Doors, REM, classical too...

Films: same here. Trainspotting, Blade Runner, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Network, the Zeitgeist documentaries, Pulp Fiction, Control, Quadrophenia, anything by the Monty Python, anything by Ken Loach, Into The Wild... and the list goes on.

Books: Less Than Zero, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, anything by Emil Cioran, The Metamorphosis, No Logo. Biographies about bands and musicians is what I read the most these days, to be honest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: couple of guitar chords, some sound engineering, and I guess I can be asked about Sagrada Família, since I worked inside that building for 5 years. Maybe I can help you with everything you always wanted to know about neurology and psychobiology, but were too afraid to ask. Also I can teach you some Spanish, if necessary.

Learn: a really long to-do list including playing the piano and the drums properly, improving my Swedish, rescuing my French, learning photography for real...

Share: that's the point! Our opinions and experiences, for starters.
