About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find out what´s going on out of this country

ABOUT ME

Im an easy-going relaxed person most of the time, at least 6 days a week. I like going to the movies, but because of the price, nowadays I appreciate my home cinema much more.... -.- I love taking pictures, videos, listening to music, walk, think, learn and of course i like travelling and meeting new people...., but anyway at first i´m a bit shy..(a couple of beers can fix this). I´ve been living in New york and Brighton for 6 months, and studying my career in Madrid for four years, then I lived in Murcia 4 more years (and started to love sun and beach) worked for one of the top companies in the world but finally i realized video and photography were my passion and can't stay working for someone else the rest of my life...so now I work as a freelancer with my friend Marco doing weddings and advertisement, mostly in Spain but sometimes anywhere.

Always looking for the financial freedom and healthy lifestyle. Time is the most valuable commodity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Drink or coffee is always a pleasure, chat, party (with good music) or even show you some places, it´s very usual in my city (Ponferrada) you go out and have a beer for 1€ and a "Pincho" for free, you´ll love pinchos, trust me...). I can give you bed if available because sometimes I rent my house... or sometimes i have friends sleeping over.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far two! good ones, and i want more.

Interests

Love music, seriously, really love music and discover new songs (Indie, electronic, acoustic, film scores...) movies (watch it and make it), photography (have a website www.factoria182.com or instagram @factoria182 ), travelling, talk in english because i want to learn as much as possible, go to cool bars, the beach, the sun, the mountains, skiing, play Padel and van life attract me too much but never tried. I used to play as a DJ (electronic music) for 3 years, now i miss it, but still do it in the iPad.
