About Me

I'm a friendly Spanish Architect but most of all I'm a dreamer, a person constantly seeking new experiences and thrilling adventures around the globe.

My philosophy is very simple, I just want to be happy and enjoy the present. Life is short and unpredictable therefore I don't want to waste my time regreting about what I didn't do but doing all I ever wanted to do.

Be Free / Don't set Limits / Chase my Dreams

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love meeting people from all around the world so I can get to know a bit more of them and their countries. Although I've been member since a few years ago It's not until now that I can really start using and enjoying this platform.

Interests

Because of my profession I'm obviously very interested in all kinds of art, specially Architecture and Photography, which helps me to connect to all the places that I visit.

Travelling is my passion and specially solo travel has become a new way to discover the world, opening myself to new encounters and meeting awesome people along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: It depends on the moment that I prefer to listen one style or another but what I really enjoy is listening again those songs that bring back memories from different stages of my life.

Movies: I love watching movies and I'm a big fan of different TV Series such as Lost, Prison Break, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead and many others.

Books: Although I don't read too much when I do it I like thriller fiction books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After finishing my degree in Architecture and without any sort of experience outside my hometown I decided to pack my things and jump into China in search of the unknown. The cultural shock was huge and even simple things became new challenges, opening my eyes to a new completely different world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish.....I swear it's not that complicated as you may think hahaha!

What I love the most about travelling is to immerse myself into the culture of the place so it would be really interesting to learn as much as possible the language and customs of each country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I wish I could say that I can share many Spanish recipes but unfortunately I'm a very bad cook so please don't ask me how to make a good Paella hahaha!!!

What I can really share is all my life-changing years living in China as well as all things that I've learned while traveling around Asia, time where I gathered a quite diverse collection of funny, scary and unforgettable moments.
