I am a hopeless wanderer, but for the rest of the time, I'm a grad student and a teaching assistant. I am a cheerful , somehow cynical optimist. It's hard to see me not smiling, and I believe it's contagious, because people usually smile around me. I am always enthusiastic about starting things and learning new stuff. I have a quite horizontal knowledge, rather than a deep, vertical one; I have many passions (music, languages, sports, jigsaw puzzles, movies, literature), but none prevails over the others.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love travelling by myself and meet new people on the way. Ideally, I would choose local for anything, from food...to hosts! Getting to know someone who knew the place I was visiting always made a huge difference, and Couchsurfing seems to be the coolest way to do so!

Algo increíble que he hecho
