Current mission:
Research Internship in the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain (July 2017)

About me:
International Relations and Tax Law professional, researcher, hiker, mountain climber, storyteller, world nomad, polyglot. Currently, I'm applying for a Master in University of Groningen.

I'm an easy going, dynamic, spontaneous person. I love to laugh, making new friends and traveling a lot. I enjoy a lot to socialize and discover each individual's own unique story and personality. I volounteer a lot and love helping the others as much as I can!

I have left my heart in so many places, so I want to go back and build new memories. You can look through my eyes here: http://alfonsomorales.format.com

Philosophy:
The love you take is equal to the love you made.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The most important aspect of Couchsurfing is to fully get immerged into a new culture, to share stories and meet new people. Is the perfect way to go beyond tourism and really live a rich cultural experience!

Interests

I want to know and learn as much as possible of art, poetry, music, literature, social sciences, nature, languages and all kind of animals.

My main interest right now is to create my own portfolio. So I'm working hard to improve my photograph skills and challenge my own. If you want to know more of my work, you can look through my eyes here: http://alfonsomorales.format.com
