Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I just love helping people and taking care of guests, driving them around, showing them the nice places that I know and just making sure that they enjoy their stay. Maybe in a previous life I was a nurse or a doctor, who knows.

Interests

- Ghosts, occultism, tarot, weird esoteric stuff. Might do a Tarot reading for you if persuaded.

- Walking up the mountain, drinking beer, rolling down the mountain. Late night walks. Feeding street cats.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play music all the time so I apologize if anyone wants absolute silence because they won't get none of that with me. I mean, unless you ask, in which case I will definitely turn down the volume a bit.

My music taste is like vomit: part of it is absolute crap but some of it is still digestible - I do all sorts: happy bolero, samba, fados, heavy metal, trash, speed, weird Japanese techno gabber, rap and trap, and instrumental African or meditational stuff.

I read books about spirits and ghosts and religions and black magic but I am a very lazy and inconsistent practitioner, I'm tangled up in the distractions of everyday life and I can't escape into the netherworlds as often as I would want to.

I like old movies, like black and white old, mute cinema. But I also like crap like Clerks and Mallrats. Japanese cyberpunk cartoons or fantasy shows like Adventure Time or Infinite Space

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I dropped out of college right before I was done because I thought "Who needs a diploma anyway? It's the 21st century, Mark Zuckerberg doesn't have a college degree!", so with those bright thoughts in my head I got myself a job as a freelance translator, and decided to go traveling around Spain, renting an Airbnb room in a different city each month; that was cool because I managed to see more of this beautiful country, which I really love, and now when people say "there's this thing in Salamanca..." I can go "I KNOW RIGHT? I HAVE BEEN THERE, LET ME TELL YOUR EVERYTHING ABOUT IT"

So then, having explored a few cities, I found myself just north of the border with Portugal, so I drove over the bridge and entered the country, and I parked my life near Serra da Estrela during the hot summer; took a lot of mescaline, hiked a lot, and got bitten by a dog because the signs were all in Portuguese and I didn't know "Cao" means "Evil dog that bites on sight".

Then my mom was like "oh yeah well you're traveling around merrily, meanwhile I'm here all alone and I haven't seen you in ages and blah blah blah" so I hopped on a plane and went back to Colombia for half a year. She's also a person who likes to travel so we moved for a month to another city to watch over a friend's pair of dogs - a bitch and her son. And believe you me she was a total bitch. The biting type. She was cute, but ill-mannered. I walked the dogs, talked to other people, and ended strucking up a convo with our neighbour, who turned out to be a weed farmer - so we became instant drug besties and we smoked weed every day.

Then my Vietnamese hilariously hyperactive friend was like "You should definitely come to Vietnam, because it is lovely!" so I said goodbye to the mom and the dogs, and flew to Hanoi, where I ate a lot of cheap street food, made a lot of friends, drank a lot of beer and did not save a single penny because although Vietnam is super affordable, the people are so friendly that I just loved spending money going to visit them, going to restaurants, pubs, parks, eating street food...

Then my cousin was like "motherf**** where are you! You should definitely visit Scotland! There's redheads!" so I fared the Vietnamese hẹn gặp lại! and flew to Edinburgh, where I drank a lot of hot LIDL red tea with pastries to forget how cold it was outside, which is a big problem in a country with so many beautiful redheads. You really want to go outside and meet people, but it's so damn cold! Nevertheless I had a great time, we met a group of Italians who also sold weed, and surprise surprise on the basis of consuming narcotics I built a lot of friendships and had a great time.

Then my company was like "You're fired. Bye!" so I went back to Hanoi to try my luck as an English teacher - to make things short, it was awful! I decided then to find work as a web developer, with the little experience that I had at the moment (fixing phpBB and wordpress forums) and luck was with me, because I landed a job with a Vietnamese small software company ran by a Japanese gentleman. I worked with them for 2 years, made a lot of friends, ate a lot of Bun Dao Mam Tom - which is like the best food ever and if you disagree get the hell out of my house right this instant-, and eventually ran into some bureaucratic issues that left me in a spot where I had to choose between
- paying over a thousand dollars to stay in Vietnam another year
- paying 500 dollars to take a flight back to Spain and finish things over there

So I thought, you know what? I think I've had enough Vietnam for now. It's time to go back to Spain, get a damn college degree AT LAST, earning more professional experience, and then come back when I have a better job and more money to squander in cheap street food.

So I am in Spain at the moment, trying not to forget how to be happy.
My plans for the future? Graduate from college, find a good spiritual practice, and move back to Vietnam.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pretty much the entire flat, there's nothing in it that is too valuable so I like people to feel like they are really just coming to their own flat in Girona for a few days. use the kitchen, use the terrace, just make yourself comfortable!
