About Me

Estudié Derecho pero salí arrancando al mundo de las Artes Plásticas. Fotógrafo de profesión y de corazón. He expuesto mi trabajo unas cuantas veces, pero me faltan muchas más. Me encanta viajar pero no lo he hecho cuanto quisiera. Es hora de ponerle remedio a eso!!

I studied Law but soon bolted into Fine Arts. Photography is both my work and my passion. I have had a few shows but not as many as I'd like. I love to travel and it never seems enough. Time to remedy that!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Viajar y conocer personas de todas partes. Me fascina el paisaje humano tanto como el natural; conocer las costumbres y formas de vida de cada quien es una manera de acercarnos y de crear lazos de amistad.

To travel and to meet people from all over. I love the human landscape as much as that of nature. Getting to know and share other peoples' lives is for me a way to connect, grow close and make friends

Interests

Bueno, la fotografía, pero además la lectura, la música y la escritura como formas de alimentar el espíritu. Subir cerros o simplemente salir a caminar o a cicletear. Siempre es bienvenida una buena conversa y mejor si es con una copa de tinto. Recientemente he sido seducido por la disciplina y el ejercicio del yoga, un gran descubrimiento!

Well, photography, for starters, but also reading, music and writing as food for the spirit. Trekking up and down hills, or just going out for a walk or a bike ride. A good conversation is always welcome and better if sharing a bottle of red wine. I have recently been seduced b de the discipline and practice of yoga, a great finding!

Music, Movies, and Books

Toda, literalmente toda la música que viene de las personas reales y no es sólo un producto comercial más. Desde la música renacentista, la clásica y el jazz hasta el rock. Le enciendo velitas a Miles Davis y a Thelonius tanto como a Bach, a Jordi Savall o a Leonard Cohen y a la Tori Amos. Me encanta escuchar cosas nuevas.

All, literally all music that comes from real people as opposed to commercial products. From renaissance madrigals, classical and jazz to rock. Some saints in my altar are Miles Davis and Thelonius but also Bach, Jordi Savall, Leonard Cohen and Tori Amos. I love to listen to new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Aprendí a nadar hace un par de años, tras toda una vida teniéndole fobia por culpa de haber estado cerca de ahogarme cuando chico. Tenía que ganarle así que le di hasta que le gané.

I learned to swim a couple of years ago, after a life-long phobia from near-drowning as a small child. I felt I just HAD to beat the panic, so finally I did.

Teach, Learn, Share

Recientemente me certifiqué como profesor de Inglés CELTA, por lo que estaría encantado de compartir con quien quiera practicar su Inglés, o su Español, claro.

I recently became CELTA-certified in English teaching for adults, so I'd be delighted to share with anyone who wants to practice their English, or Spanish, for that matter.
