About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I think right now, my mission is get to know all kind of different places. As an architect, is always important not only to know about other locations from pictures and web sites, but to actually get to visit them and experience them. Also, I love knowing those kind of places that only people who live in the city know about.
I always enjoy meeting people with different points of view and ways to live their lives, I find it very enriching.

ABOUT ME

I kinda love knowing a little about a bunch of subjects, so I always enjoy a nice conversation about pretty much every topic.

Pretty friendly, easy going, a nice fella. I know this is what everybody would say about themselves, but I really am haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really like the mix of someone who knows the place and someone who wants to know the place.

I have both stayed as a guest and hosted and found it absolutely great every time, as I have met kind, funny, generous people.
When surfing, I have always enjoyed a lot being taken to places I had not planned to go, but that ended up being as interesting as those places I visited the city for in the first place, and sometimes, even more interesting.
And as a host, I like having the oportunity to rediscover my own city, and having an excuse to do some out-of-the-routine activities.

Interests

Music, architecture, sports, movies, chess, different cultures.

They say: Engineers are people who know a lot about one subject. Architects are people who know a little bit about a lot of subjects.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, I really enjoy folkloric music from all over the world, among a wide range of different styles.
In movies, it depends on the mood: I can watch the most stupid movie and have a great laugh over it, or watch one with a deeper view and really enjoy it.
In books, I definitely prefer novels with a little touch of philosophy behind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the Northern Lights

I have lived in 5 different cities. I really hope that has helped me to open my view on all kind of subjects, because in all of those places I have learned so many things in different ways: I've had party, I have grown up. I have fucked it up, I've nailed it. But everywhere I've gone, I've always found great people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love playing guitar and I'm kinda good at it, so music is something I enjoy teaching, learning and sharing.
Always up for a chess game.
Of course architecture is another subjetc I love to talk about.
Also I believe it is possible to learn something from every single person.
