About Me

ABOUT ME

**EXAM TIME, NOT HOSTING!**

Hey! If you are taking the time to read this is either because you are thinking of contacting with me or because I have contacted with you. Another option is that I look so hot in my profile pic that you had to read my profile... however, welcome!!

If you want to contact me please dont hesitate in dropping me a message, I swear I'll answer ASAP and be kind!!

Well, about me, I'm a 19-year-old student of Economics and Politics (amazing subjects aren't they?) in Queen Mary College of the University of London. I ran through this website because I am planning a trip to Norway, and from experiences of friends I got that the best way to know a place is by "total immersion" in its life and in its culture. therefore I thought I might give couchsurfing a try, and the prospects are awesome!! (Note in retrospect: I didn't do CS in Norway, but it was still awesome!)

I'm an easy and outgoing person, spanish so passionate by nature!! If you like staying up till late night chatting about deep concepts, then I'm your man! Anyways, if you don't I'm not gonna force you! Furthermore, I really like to listen people's stories, and tell mine. Always eager of learning anything!! Some say I'm a good cook, and I really enjoy cooking... well anyways, if you can't wait to get to know me just drop me a message and i will be happy to answer!!

PHILOSOPHY

Good and wisdom come from the accumulation of experiences; good and bad. That's why I try to experience as many things as possible, I won't say no to 95% of things. Karma and chain of favors work for me as well...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I cannot know if I can hold you or not. I live in a small flat, but there's always people in and out... anyways, ask!
And of course, if I'm a guest at your coach expect me to clean my room, wash my dishes... in that sense you wont even notice I'm there!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed two wonderful couchs in Paris, now willing to return the favor!!And, I hosted a group of 5 friends in my previous house in London, which was also fun!

Interests

Economics, politics, classical music (I'm a violinist), non classical music especially britpop, philosophy, reading, learning anything!! Fron how to cook a local dish to a language... whatever!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I live for Britpop, classical and those obscure american bands (such as CAKE). Also a sucker for anything indie/folk that is pleasant to listen to. You will find me in all kinds of gigs of semi-obscure bands of the london hipster scene (yikes!) trying to discover the next big bands. You're more than welcome to tag along!!

I enjoy every kind of movies, particularly those that are widely unknown... and that ones in which you just have to work things out yourself... I hate spoonfeeding!!

And for books, I can call myself a good reader! Redaing is one of the pleasures of life... now I'm reading all Dickens' novels, from the first to the last!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Vietnam, in a crappy hotel. Getting into a room that was not mine (without noticing) and taking a bath. The owner found me. He screamed. Me too.

I have been to North Korea. Tat was pretty amazing..!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well. From my little experience I learned that Yes, there are actually people willing to host others for free in their houses. wow. Human race still has future. Wow again.

The only think I've ever taught another couchsurfer is how to smoke a pipe. Will that do?
