About Me

I'm a Spanish 28 year-old guy looking for new people and places to meet! :)
I studied Philosophy and Translation!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seemed to me a nice way to discover places and meet new people.
Ever since I first went abroad as a teenager I realized it was something I wanted to do in a more usual basis in the future. I love my country, but being with foreign people is something that enriches my perception of life in a way that no Spaniard can offer me. Travelling becomes, after good conversations with foreigners, sort of a drug you cannot quit!

Interests

I like to learn about different languages and cultures! I love music (rock, blues,jazz, funk, R&B, soul, fingerpicking, post-rock...), books (philosophy, poetry, some novels...) and I'm lately getting into cinema, too!
I'm also in love with board sports (skateboarding, snowboarding, windsurfing...), Greece and of course travelling in general!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Greece and became an (amateur) actor without ever considering the profession before. The funny thing is that I was performing in silent shortfilms so people wouldn't notice I'm not Greek.
I know it sounds surrealistic, but here you have a proof:

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn (French, Greek), teach (Spanish, Catalan) and practice languages (English, Italian).
El compartir lugares, idiomas, películas, libros, etc, con alguien enriquece tanto el momento como estas mismas cosas. El asociar determinadas situaciones, experiencias, a lo que nos acompaña día a día hace crecer nuestro acervo de vida :).

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love for Plato.
Crazy stories worthy of becoming funny crappy movies.
I can tell you that actual paella has no fish. In fact I just did.
Whatever you think I may have and you may need.
