About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting Used to a new set of things

ABOUT ME

Buenas,

I dont like this sort of open questions... specially after a time you need to up-date them.

I am person who loves to learn. I think we should be constantly learning... from our friends, from our co-workers, from everyone... Everyone can teach you something.

I love movies, music, walks and team sports.... i hate "Bikes" though.

I like to share my experiences and discover new ones.

And i dont mind answer questions... so feel free.

PHILOSOPHY

Couchsurfing is not a cheapest way of travelling. Couchsurfing is the easiest way to meet new people and have someone in a new place.

Enjoy each moment you pass with your friends.
Dont waste time be angry with them.

"Manos que no dais, ¿que esperais?". Dont wait till
the other open, open yourself first.

There are so many times that we are wrong, dont be "Closed" to new people being one of them.

Teaching is the easiest way to learn lot of new things.

Hey Chipiron, Todos los días sale el sol

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well trying to help people as much as i can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All this come to my friend Carolina, she was talking about it for two years and when two months before leaving Linz, i jumped to this world.

I hosted someone there.

Back in Spain, i started to part of the group in Valladolid, but then i moved to another time for a year.

When i was in Valladolid i tried to help all newcomers to my town.

two summers ago i travelled around Europe and i took advantage of Couchsurfing. Everyone were extremelly nice and useful.

Now, just enjoying the Ostrava group.

PD.- Thanks to Couchsurfing i pass my last german exam.

Interests

As a mathematician i like to do Statistics. I do for anything. I like to meet people and learn about them. I love travelling, specially visiting small towns.
I like teaching. I think i am good in giving advices or simple to stay there in case people need me. (Not so good, following my own good advises).

I like movies, music but museums... i cant stay in a place full of people and there are no noisy... i cant help it... :(

Music, Movies, and Books

I like depressing rock songs balads "Iris, Here with out, Behind Blue Eyes, Molitva, Out here on my own, Love Will Find a Way, If everyoned cared" in english, "La Senda del Tiempo, Duele el Amor, Arenas de Soledad, Vuelve Conmigo..."

Energetic songs to fight against depression "Holding out for a hero, Pump it, Gimme the Power, Haz Turismo"

and for dance "La Tortura, Suavemente, Mi primer millon..."

And soundtracks

Now i just love "Todos los dias sale el Sol" (well not in ostrava... ;) )
________________________

Books i like Perez-Reverte´s Books, Agatha Christie´s and any fantasy book. THE PRINCESS BRIDE is my favourite.
____________________

Movies, any crime film based on Christie´s novels, and fantasy and old comedies like "Bringing up Baby" or movies for kids like "Little Mermaid" or Stevenson´s movie for the Disney (Herbie...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well there is a couple of place that i really, really love.

First "LAS MEDULAS". It is nearby where i am from. A gold roman mines. Simply Amazing.

Second "Hallstatt" is in Upper Austria, 2 hours from where i used to live in Austria. Every time a friend of mine visited me, i took that person there.

Third, the city of Praha and all czech republic. Amazing country, amazing people.

_____________________________

I recomend everyone to do the "El CAMINO DE SANTIAGO". Extraordinary experience. I´ve done it twice.

Summer of 2009, i took my bag, and for 6 weeks i was visiting all north Europe. i travelled alone but i met many nice people on my way. Sometimes you have to be alone and do things alone so you can discover the beauty around you.

Summer 2011 i did Saint JAmes´s way again... and ten years difference, it is a huge difference... I was so old :D But i did it... and i loved it.

Teach, Learn, Share

We need people that is obvious. And helping and be helped is a really cool thing.Teaching is really hard. Now I know... but i think the best way to teach someone is giving example. And be patient... and i told you being patient... If teaching is difficult, learning is more. Sometimes i think, i will not able to learn anything... i think i am very ambitious in that sense... Life teachs me to be patient... hope one they i learnt that. :) I will keep trying it.Sharing is a complicated thing... but i am on my way...And people from the place you are living dont like that you tell them that you dont care about learning their language. They dont really like that...
