Overview
About Me
Well, I think I am a easy-going open-minded guy who love meeting new people and having new experiences.
I´m from A Coruña, a city located in northwest area of Spain. I studied Chemical Engineering in Salamanca, a beautiful ancient city also located in Spain. Afterwards, I moved to Madrid where I did a MBA.
Due to job matters, I lived in Brasil first and South African then. Both are good places and those were the best experiences in my life. Meeting local people, travelling around these countries, exchange experiences and the ways of makes me become a different person.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Well, I think CS is a great idea. It's not about get a free place to stay when you are travelling, i think it is not the spirit of this social network.
What I get from Couchsurfing: people, the most important thing. I've met a lot of nice amazing people from all over the world. I have learnt a lot from them and that is the best thing CS gave me. I feel lucky I have a lot of friends due to my CS experience.
Also i love travelling and i feel happy when i can meet local people who can teach me about the place more than a local touristic guide. I love feeling "soaked" of local culture when i'm travelling to meet a new place / culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Well, what can I say, it's a hard question. To finish my degree, really, it was hard to me! It's an Engeenery and I'm not a genius!
Let's give up the studies... I took four three shots in a row in a basketball match...and I, I try to help my mother, know I'm abroad Spain, but she has a hard life and I try to get her life easily. Yes, I try to get my family life better. It's important for me!
Travel to Amazonas was a great experience to me too!
Teach, Learn, Share
What can I teach? I don't know, always it's a pleasure to share thoughts, knowledge, points of view... All you can learn of me has a good intention. I don't want to impose a opinion. Obviusly, I know things about my culture and my country, and travelling and meet new people helped me learning a lot about new cultures.
