About Me

No hay mayor maestro que el camino que se hace al viajar. Estudio derecho en Londres, aunque no hay libro ni profesor que me haya enseñado más que lo que he sacado de mis múltiples viajes: atravesar España haciendo autostop, recorrer el Caribe en un viejo automóvil o aprovechar un intercambio en la universidad de Maastricht para moverme por todo el viejo continente.

Vivimos en una sociedad global cada vez más interconectada, y cuanto más me alejo de mi hogar más me siento como en casa. Amo viajar y amo a los viajeros, que me demuestran cuán distintas y a la vez sorprendentemente iguales somos las personas.

Quiero descubrir cada rincón de este planeta y conocer a todos los tipos de personas que habitan este mundo. Quiero aprenderlo todo en esta vida, para algún día poder enseñarlo, y convertirme en el profesor que nunca tuve. Por ello, creo que CS es la forma perfecta de hacerlo.

Si algún día paso por tu ciudad, pueblo o lugar en el que vivas, por favor déjame un colchón, un sofá o unas baldosas de tu cocina o baño. Acógeme y habla conmigo, y enséñame cómo es tu vida. Aprenderemos mutuamente, pasaremos un rato agradable, y ayudarás a este crío que sueña con crecer.

There is no better master than the path you do when traveling. Whilst studying Law in London, I acknowledged that there is no book or professor that has taught me as much as my several trips: hitchjacking across Spain, cross the Caribe in an old car, or taking advantage of an exchange program in the Maastricht University in order to travel all around the Old Continent.

We live in an everyday more interconected global society, and the further I go the more I feel at home. I love traveling and I love travelers, who demonstrate me how different and, at the same time, suprisingly equals we people are.

I want to discover every single corner on this planet, and meet all kinds of people that habit this world. I want to learn everything in this life to once in the future be able to teach, an become the professor that I never had. And I believe that CS is the perfect way to do it.

If I have the chance to visit your city one day, town or place where you live, please let me have a rest in a matress, couch or anything available. Host me and talk with me, and show me how your life is. We'll learn from eachother, have a nice time, and you'll be helping this child that dreams on growing up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience the local aspect of all the corners of the world and meet people from all cultures who have a different world view from mine.

Interests

Amo los animales y la cocina, combinando ambas cosas con una dieta vegana. Me gusta aprender platos de todo el mundo, aunque me decanto por la comida india.

Como buen español, disfruto tocando la guitarra y cantando con mis amigos y familiares.

Por último, mis deportes favoritos son el buceo, snorkle, surf y esquí.
