ABOUT ME

Quiet, easy-going, respectful, patient,.. they say

PHILOSOPHY

Be cool, don't be an asshole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wish I have known it before when being a poor student with more free time and less duties. This is addictive. Planning a future trip is best therapy for the lows.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

100% positive, I travelled solo across Ireland, Germany, Turkey, Prague, Portugal, Morocco, Italy, Austria, Hungary... Balkans... tons of adventures, hospitality moments, kindness, ramdom and unexpected experiences. You miss the half of your trip if you don't meet the people, it's about finding real people, and real world. We are not so different, our goverments don't represent us, it's the same story everywhere. Good is good, bad is bad.

Interests

Beer ( oh Guinness ), I'm a foodie, cook/eat any cuisine, tapas!, meeting new different people , languages , photography ( got my first reflex and film cameras ), hikes, bike, winter + chimney, cats. I do Kenpo Karate .
..
MUSIC. vinyl hunting, playing,, guitars and ethnic instruments, pedals, doing radio, DJ-ing, festivals, raves... Finally I have a small home-studio, we should jam together if you play.

I am a Computer Engineer but now I run my own store in my home village, big cities can be crazy and hiperexpensive. I spent my 10 yrs quote in Madrid and 2 in Granada.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing Morocco by car ending in a surreal Goa rave in the desert. Cliffs of Moher, Trinity Collegue Library, Prague by night, Tanger by day...Istanbul is an incred experience itself. Tons of crazy gigs: come to mind Parliament-Funkadelic PFunk Allstars, crazy beyond words in a summer night...

Finally finishing my fucking university degree, still can't believe it.

Teach, Learn, Share

My natural environment the huge and impressive Parque Natural de Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas ( biggest in whole Europe), my close people. Guitar tricks -some flamenco too -, music nerd conversations, local jokes and old sayings, Spanish cuisine, culture and language,. Use to carry music ( and wine and oil if I can ) as present to my hosts, things like that are welcome if you come around here too.
