I'm a university professor in advertising (creativity). And vocationally I try to be some kind of Renaissance man, doing all kinds of different and weird things :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing to meet people, because I travel on my own sometimes, and love to meet locals and new people in general!

Interests

I enjoy cinema and music (listening to it, but also singing or playing instruments). And I love talking with interesting people, having lonnnng talks about almost everything! I can be quite shy at the beginning, but it's just a matter of time. I really enjoy talking about any topic, and think that there's nothing more valuable than a smart talk. I dedicate an increasing part of my time and money to helping stray animals, both personally and through organizations. And in general I develop or collaborate in some (really modest) animal welfare projects. So, for consistency, I'm on my second attempt with vegetarianism, which will be the final one!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A lot of stupid things!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I suppose that in addition to lots of talk about any possible topic, I can offer kindness and an almost permanent smile (or so they tell me!). And beers and Jerez wine, of course!
