About Me

¡Hola! 😊 I am a Spaniard from the city of Málaga, who moved abroad several years ago. I briefly lived in Amsterdam, and after more than 7 years in Estonia I finally relocated to Oslo, Norway, where I currently work as UX/Product Designer for an IT scale-up.

I joined Couchsurfing long time ago with the intention of meeting locals or other fellow travellers during my trips, as well as sometimes (whenever it could be possible) show to some travellers places or suggestions from the cities where I've lived and that I know well (like Málaga or currently Oslo).

Even though I usually travel alone because it allows me to enjoy sightseeing or spending more time in the places of my interest, I still like to be able to enjoy sometimes the company of someone else to go for a walk or just simply having a drink, specially people who are curious minds and also passionate about travelling and discovering new cultures & places. I enjoy meeting new people and having interesting and deep conversations since one of the aspects that make trips truly memorable is the people that you get to meet along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to meet new people from different backgrounds and cultures is an essential part of the motivations for travelling. That's why I've enjoyed using Couchsurfing so much on some of my trips, because it has allowed me to get to know and hang out with people and have experiences that otherwise would have never been possible.

Interests

I'm a very creative person so most of my hobbies and interests are directly related to arts and culture. Music is probably the biggest hobby since I'm an amateur musician and I compose and produce my own songs (demos). Besides that, I enjoy training Muay Thai as well as writing poetry, drawing and reading (specially about history, politics and phylosophy).

I love going for walks outside when the weather is nice since it helps me disconnect and focus on the here and now. But when the weather is not appropiate then I really enjoy visiting museums (specially art museums), spending time on my hobbies or watch sports and indie movies.
