Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
See the most I can see, squeeze life to see what I cannot see from my couch.
ABOUT ME
I am a friendly guy, who values the happiness of a good chat and a good laugh. I enjoy that special feeling of 'freedom' when traveling abroad, and the magic of discovering new places and new cultures.
I just completed my Master in Coaching, which is something I love and will allow me to help people. A fantastic thing I would like to make my job for the coming future. If you want to know what "coaching" is... just ask :D.
I also love videogames, sports, reading, watching TV series and movies and listening to music.
I am very friendly, polite and respectful.
PHILOSOPHY
That's difficult to say. I want to experience as much as possible during the time I am alive, see everything I can, laugh and have as much as I can, and at the same time, make people around me as happy as possible. Those experiences will help me grow personally and will teach me things I could not learn sitting at home.
There is a huge world outside my known areas and cultures. The more I see, the more I realise there's a lot more to discover.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can offer company, help, and some coffee/chat to any person passing by Cordoba. I cannot offer a couch at the moment as I live with my grandparents, but I can help finding a place to sleep if needed.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had the luck of meeting a couchsurfer in Milan (Zsuzsa) who didn't host me but went out with me and showed me the city. Lovely time. In 2012 I was hosted for the first time by one of the most amazing persons I have met, Tony Carapinha, who I hope will keep living an amazing life, and on August the same year was hosted by DBounty, Niko, another amazing guy who helped me have a great time in Paris. All in all, I have met fantastic people thanks to CS, and though I cannot host at the moment, I will help any traveler in Cordoba as far as I can.
Interests
Videogames, coaching, books, music, movies, TV series, nature, different cultures, landmarks.
Also love "classic" martial arts like taichi, karate or kungfu, bug haven't practiced seriously in a long time. It's a love-hate relationship.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: Rocky series (love them), martial arts, Clint Eastwood, Braveheart, new Batmans, Inception... there's lots. Basically, movies that can 'move' me, or make me think, or make me enjoy.
Music: Pink Floyd, Meat Loaf, Bon Jovi, Marc Anthony... almost anything, but I specially love 80's rock. Ballads too.
Books: Fantastic literature, Paulo Coelho, A Song of Ice & Fire (yeah guys, the books of Game of Thrones).
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Not a lot yet. Cannot imagine myself doing crazy and risky things like scuba diving, parachute jumping, etc. Therefore, if I ever do, it will be even more amazing :P
Teach, Learn, Share
I speak Spanish and English, and some people management courses say I learned a bit about the subject. I also know some taichi and some bits of martial arts, and I would love to learn shiatsu or any massage style, dancing, etc.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Basically I can offer company, because I'm a crappy cook. I'd love to chat with any person who can host me, and also give some coaching sessions (they are a job, that's actually a good exchange... :D).
Also, I'm flexible to whatever a host fancies: if they want to go out and party, I'm up for it. If they cannot join me in anything and I have to spend all day by myself, that's also fine for me.
