About Me

I'm a PhD student, originally from Spain and new in Tilburg. I'm positive, usually happy and very much looking forward to discovering the area and the people around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling but, when I can't, this is the best substitute I've found yet for discovering new cultures and people. Plus, I'm kind of new to the area, so I thought it would be nice to discover it with others.

Interests

I am passionate about traveling, music, reading and watching movies. I also like photography and cooking, and just waking or cycling around.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read, watch films and listen to music...
Lately I'm reading Jack Kerouac, Gabriel García Márquez and fantasy novels by the likes of Brandon Sanderson. And I really like movies from Kusturica, Billy Wilders and Jim Jarmusch.
And about music... I like most kinds, and I'm always trying to discover new artists and genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was trained as a circus artist for 5 years, worked in a farm and had to run away from a curious flock of sheep once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in almost everything, as long as the person doing the talking is passionated about it. I do research on social protection for my work, and politics and human rights for fun, so I'm always happy taking about that. And I'm always curious about little-known national traditions (as the surprisingly importance of carnival in Brabant). And, of course, food.
