About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pursuit of Happyness (if you don't know why it's misspelled, look it up)

ABOUT ME

I only host during the weekend

I'm a User Experience developer with aspirations to artist. I like drawing, playing the guitar, watching movies (I'd love to make one) and create videogames (both playing and creating them!). I was born in Madrid, lived my first 5 years of life in Mallorca, and from there on, in Valencia, until I was around 21 and I started travelling everywhere. I spent an awesome year in Finland, 6 amazing months in Urbana IL, and I have been living in Ireland (first Galway, then Dublin) since 2009 where I am currently working for a German company called SAP.

PHILOSOPHY

Lying, and being dishonest. xD who answers that? Nah, just having fun while respecting everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love internet communities, I have to admit I'm addicted to Facebook, Italki, etc, and well, this is another and a more direct way to do what I already did in the past: meet amazing people, especially in person :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have just started, met some couchsurfers in Galway, some others in Valencia during las Fallas, Dublin, and now I feel like an oldie in CS :)

Interests

Music, design, technologies, movies, series, going out and meeting new people and new places, history, sports, etc, etc. I'd say my likes are so broad that picking up some of theme seems impossible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've jumped from a plane, partied at the Full Moon party, surfed in Bondi Beach, snorkeled in Ko Pi Pi, I've ridden a sledge pulled by reindeer in Rovaniemi, at Santa's village, been inside the Taj Mahal, I've been to Disney World Orlando, got lost in the beautiful city of St Petersbourg, I've done rappel and climbing in a camp between Galicia and Asturias, I've driven a snow-bike on a melting river in Finland, I've presented in front of thousands of people in SAP Arena in Mannheim (on a stage where Kylie Minogue had sung the week before), partied in Ayia Napa, I've been to Amsterdam and had a nice "magic trip" to Utrecht by train, plus I came back for Queen's Day, I've been to lost "calas" (amazing beaches) in Mallorca with my cousins, I've seen a friend win the Spanish Big Brother and put on a t-shirt I made at the final show (interrupting the presenter to explain what the t-shirt was), I've traveled all around Europe when I was just a child, with my parents and sister and a caravan (getting our car stolen half way)... etc etc
