Back after a long time away

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spontaneously hosted a stranger who needed a couch once, unaware that there was an actual community doing it. I joined in 2011 and continuously get amazed by human kindness all over the world.

Interests

Whenever I'm not at the hospital, I'm a bike rider, a jogger, a late-nite conversationalist, a board game player, a writer, a reader. A couple of years ago I discovered I enjoyed being on stage.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I enjoy tragedy, drama, death, revenge themed movies. Some of my favorite directors are Stanley Kubrik, Quentin Tarantino and Hayao Miyazaki. Once a Pedro Almodóvar fanboy. I've seen Kill Bill Vol. I a number of times.

Music: I curate Spotify playlists for fun. I saw Björk live once and it was disappointing. I like to listen to music with headphones alone in the dark, while riding my bike or cooking

Books: El obsceno pájaro de la noche (J. Donoso), Sexing the body (A. Fausto-Sterling)
