About Me

I am curious about almost everything - nowadays, am specially fascinated by technology and how it changes our perception and experience of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy experiencing the little details of daily life around cultures, exploring new places with locals, opening new perspectives... and I'm happy to say that I met a couple of my best friends through CS!

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately I've been listening to various stuff from Israel, Yemen and Algeria... and to my own surprise I'm also interested in techno! Some highlights: Abdelli, Yemen Blues, Riff Cohen, Lola Marsh, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Totó la Momposina, Radio Tarifa, Marvin Haye, Jordi Savall, Lila Downs, Ella Fitzgerald, The Cure, Edith Piaf, Son de Madera, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Louis Armstrong...

Some of my fav movies are Hiroshima mon amour, Reconstruction, Las Buenas Hierbas, Amèlie, Tideland, Brodeuses, Dogville, Drifting Clouds, Trópico de Cáncer, Blade Runner, MadMax, La Science des Rêves, Bicycle Thieves, Relatos Salvajes... and all films by Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki. I love watching documentaries and am very happy about the new series Blue Planet II.

I'm currently reading poetry by Juan Gelman, Antonio Machado, Rumi, and a book about the Silk Route.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While scuba diving, I've had beautiful encounters with marine animals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share insider tips for your visit to México, Spain, Amsterdam, and/or Paris.

También podemos practicar español... y los basics de latin dancing.

I would like to learn how to use my camera!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Staples: breakfast and a bicycle. If I am not busy with school, I can show you around and would be happy to cook some nice Mexican food.
