About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Installing myself in the Netherlands.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I was born next to the sea in southeast of Spain; although I still appreciate the great mediterranean weather, I find myself very comfortable in the Netherlands.

Here I am working as Industrial Ecologist (a sort of environmental engineer).

PHILOSOPHY

The life is a book. If you stay in the same place all your life, you just read one page. To have new experiences is one of the best things yo can do for yourself. Measure the depth of your life with a couple of questions: Are you happy? Do you make the people happy around you?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll be glad to show you my adoptive city of Graz! I have also an inflatable matress that you can use to crush in if you need a bed; I would like to offer an independent room, but my house is not very big right now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSourfing has demonstrated to be amazing. Not only was a key in my settlement when I arrived to the Netherlands to do my Master, being kindly hosted by a couple of couchsurfers. The community online also gave me a lot of help, and I have met very nice people who could not otherwise have known. Right now I have been disconnected from the community for some time, though...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My Erasmus year was a milestone to me. And a couple of summer ago I travelled through Russia and Mongolia in the Transsiberian. I am getting wanderlust...
