About Me

CURRENT MISSION

stop being at the wrong place in the worst time

ABOUT ME

You will probably find me thinking about the song that suits the best for the moment and I am always willing to listen to new things. I keep telling mymself "Life without music is emptiness", but that is another story…

PHILOSOPHY

“I would like to make a toast to lying, stealing, cheating and drinking. If you're going to lie, lie for a friend. If you're going to steal, steal a heart. If your going to cheat, cheat death. And if you're going to drink, drink with me.” -anonymous-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far it has been great. I have met really nice people through CS.

Interests

My first interest is music, I really enjoy listening to new things and explore sounds and rythms from every place I have visited.

Photography arrived later in my life and has become one of my main hobbies, when possible I combine it with photography at concerts ;)

I speak Spanish as native language, English by conviction and German by necessity :P
