ABOUT ME

I love surfing, LatinAmerica, the Spanish language, Baja California, big barrels (surfing), and space (architecture). I´ve spent the last 6 months in Europe. First, 5 months studying architecture at la Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid and and then a month of traveling in Morocco, different parts of Spain, Portugal, Paris, and Italy.

PHILOSOPHY

I love energy especially the kinetic energy of people because the embodied energy of people is a waste.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Getting out there and seeing, really seeing. Spreading smiles. Chatting over good food.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Small village in Morocco with Mohammed, amazing experience in a room literally lined by one big couch shaped in a U.
Lisbon, Portugal with Guilherme. Awesome time in an awesome part of the city, Graca, with an unbelievable host.
Jaco, Costa Rica for 2 weeks. Slept on the floor in my surfboard coffin. Awesome experience.

San Francisco a few times with friends.
Tons of sleepovers as a kid.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being spit out of massive barrels at Baja Malibu. One of the most amazing days of my life. They mostly involve surfing which may seem a little boring like riding waves for 2 km or having a 15 ft. wave snap your board in two, but to be honest everyone should try it. It is amazing and I never knew how much I would miss it before I moved to Madrid. 100m long slip and slides. There´s more. . .

Teach, Learn, Share

Think, it ain´t illegal yet.
Talk about language, big interest of mine.
The relationship between architecture and language.
Would like to learn more about Eastern and Middle-Eastern languages and cultures.
