[SORRY IF I DON'T ANSWER RIGHT AWAY, I GET LOTS OF REQUESTS] PLEASE READ MY PROFILE, THANKS :D First of all, thank you for writing to me, I appreciate that you TRUST me without even knowing me :) Second, I strongly BELIEVE that as long as we can communicate what we dis/like in terms of sharing a common space, I don't have many house rules apart from "do not steal" and "do not try to murder me", but I'm grateful when people do not consider my home a "free hotel" and myself just a "free and charming guide" (I'm more than that ;D). I don't expect you to invite me dinner/drinks or any other kind of stuff (although I humbly accept any kind of offer :D), but just please bear in mind that I host a lot of people and as much as I would LOVE to give food and everything, I'm not a rich guy so I cannot afford it :) Any help with the house will be appreciated :D Now, a little bit about me: - A 36 years old jazz musician, thirsty of traveling as much as I can. I can be pretty organized and with a couch and a shower (cold, even) I'm happy. - I love MUSIC in every possible way, it is my passion, my lifestyle, my goal and my reason to be alive. Being able to share/create/listen to music is wonderful for your SOUL and I think we should learn it as a second language in school. - Born and raised in a beautiful place called Concepción, Chile and moved to Seville when I was 19 with my family. Currently living in Thailand with my beautiful cat Sofia and enjoy this amazing little thing called LIFE.. - I like LOTS of different things so it's very likely that we'll get along. I like summer and winter, the beach and the mountains, salty and sweet, night and day, hot and cold, and so on... - Bike lover. A passion I discover a few years ago was traveling by bike, it seemed like yoga. I felt totally ALIVE, my mind was on the road, my brain was clear, my muscles were active and my ass was sweaty :D - FOOD lover. Pretty much everything apart from some seafood (I like fish, though). Not a vegetarian but slowly going that way (without taking it too seriously and without even trying) although I enjoy a good steak!! - I think of myself as an open minded, easy going, relaxed and down to earth kind of guy. I enjoy being alone but GOOD COMPANY is always very welcome. I'd describe my philosophy as Realistic Optimism :D, I sincerely believe that everything's going to be alright and also that we need to go through rough times. Sadness is a crucial emotion and society should embrace it just like it does with happiness :)
