About Me

STATUS
2018 - Just settling in Berlin

2017 - Travelling for 18 months: India, Sri Lanka, NY, Cuba, Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Perú.

CURRENT MISSION
To explore and find where I am supposed to end up for the rest of my life!

Hosting interesting, thoughtful and outgoing people who view CS not as a platform for free housing but an opportunity to broaden perspectives.

ABOUT ME
After 8 years in London, where I enjoyed hosting amazing people, I am in a long trip on 2017 and I hope to use CS while travelling as last time I was able to use it was long time ago!

I am a 30-something geek working in software engineering who enjoys travelling. Easygoing, open minded, spontaneous, who likes meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. I like to have fun and I am very sociable person.
Grow up in El Puerto de Santa Maria - Cadiz, Spain. Studied in Seville, lived for a while in Krakow and Granada. Moved to London in 2008. For now I have been travelling almost all over Europe and part of south-east Asia and USA.

PHILOSOPHY
I've learned so much from my mistakes... I'm thinking of making a few more.
