About Me

I love living in Barcelona for its weather, history and lifestyle. I like to be active so running, playing beach volley, padel, football and hiking. As every Italian I like food and enjoy cooking for others sometimes. I studied as a tourist guide so I like to share the beauty of Barcelona (touristic places and not) with my guests. I rarely do parties so if that is what brought you to Barcelona better you look for a different host

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to host people because I love the idea of travelling as a way to open your mind and learn from other cultures I considered myself lucky to be able to host and show my culture and the city where I live to them. I know many people use couchsurfing just as a free bed or come to Barcelona just for party. They are not my ideal guest. My ideal guest is a person that have the same idea of mine about travelling but even if you just want a free bed, be honest as I don't mind to just do that as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a flat in the center of Barcelona close to la ciutadella park and the beach. I have a small guest room where you can stay. I am happy you feel like home in my flat so there is no problem for me to share with you my kitchen, living room, etc...
