Hi! I'm Jordi from Barcelona. Some people call me Asher, which means happiness in Hebrew.

I’m now based in LUCERNE (CS bug seems to still show Zürich location to many). The room here is small (8 sq. m.) but fits another mattress on the floor. I also have a guest tend with futon in the balcony. Take this in count before sending request, please :)

For some years traveling around the world; I am now based in Switzerland. I‘m in love.

Inside me you’ll notice the duality of the lawyer/artist.

I’m a jurist by education and keep often in mind the human law’s power to create reality. The lawyer-chaman archetype. We live in a matrix and through active consciousness and knowledge one is able to step out and in at will.

I’m a traveler by passion. I’ve been touched by people’s hospitality in many countries. I host to return karma. Couchsurfing makes the connection, we do the rest. This is another matrix.

Trying to live the less seriously possible while keeping responsible and mindful of others. I’m moved by love and humour.

I appreciate wildness and authenticity in people. I am very tolerant and non-judgemental. I understand life is complicated and most is relative and subjective. I tend to see the bright sight of everyone.

CouchSurfer, I’m keen to go for a walk outdoors. Interested in broad knowledge; religion, world cultures, geopolitics, arts, science, spiritual connections.

Specially when it rains, I love spending an afternoon playing chess, reading books and listening to music at home. I like chess very much and I used to be a teacher for children.

There is no right or wrong but I spot love or fear, in actions.

Traveling is a good school of life and hosting people brings the flair of traveling.

Happy to host other happy and positive travelers :)
If you are psychologically down and genuinely need someone to talk with or share your thought process, you are also welcome.

I believe in the old school motto of Couchsurfing; this to be a meaningful cultural exchange between two humans.

The couch may still be open just for a night-crash, when in urgent need.
Otherwise, I tend to host up to 2 nights. If then we get along and circumstances allow and you want/need we could extend.

As a traveler, I move slowly around the world and focus in the human and natural side. I keep some fun adventures in my memory: hitchiked from Barcelona to Shanghai, UK and Ireland, lived in an Israelian kibbutz, drove through the Norwegian fjords, took the transiberian train to cross Russia, crossed the Mongolian-Chinese border in a charcoal truck, sailed the Indonesian archipelago, stayed in an ashram in India, slept in the streets of Tokyo, biked from Istanbul to Barcelona, sold drawings in the streets of Taipei, Belgrad, Berlin, organized a Spanish language school in China, rent out villas in Vietnam, built a camper van in Vancouver, picked cherries in Canada, helped in a weed farm in California, worked as a gardener in billionares' houses, sold gym machines online ...

Lately I’ve been working in the headhunting industry for Life Sciences, Finance, Commodities and Technology in Zürich.

I’ve got a T6 California van shared with my friend Sarah. We rent it to others to cover the cost; and I go to the nature when I have it available.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share with people of the world.

Interests

Chess. And table tennis.

Cats and other animals, playing and watching sports, cards or board games, taking care of plants, bonfires, getting lost in a foreign town, painting, throwing stones on lakes and a beer with friends. A bit of skiing in winter and sailing in summer :)

Stretching/ioga/pilates/acroioga. Juggling, "contemporary dancing", theatre and clowning.

I'm into Vipasana meditation, but not following strictly the daily routines. Happy to share anapana or metta meditation.

I'd like to keep more the Shabbat, that is for me a weekly day off-screen, not working, no money or worry talking, connecting with community or nature, enjoying the moment and if you wish to say, connecting with God-energy.

I find a glass of wine and some cooking together with guests to be a good plan. However, in my current place I‘m mostly eating outside or some take away, as the common area with my flatmates is a bit of a mess…

Music, Movies, and Books

It's just wonderful all the people who create something with intention.
