About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel, to dance, to share, to give, to learn.

ABOUT ME

Im an easy going and fun adventurer that loves traveling without boundaries and always responsibly.

I was born in Alicante (Spain) and moved to London in 2000 where I studied Music Culture (social science and musicology) and made a living out of my passion for djing and music in general. 15 years later I found the need to return to warmer and sunnier homelands, so made it back to Spain where I am currently traveling/living.

In three words: music, people, moon.

PHILOSOPHY

"...And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music" - Nietzsche

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can sometimes offer a couch. I say sometimes because wherever I live I share with others.. Please check with me and i will happily advise. When I stay with CS I cooperate with house duties and generally like to flow.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with Juanpa and Alfredo in their home in Quito, started off as a 1 week CS and ended up living with them for two months and looking after their house when they went traveling to the canary islands... We worked together and lived together happily... not bad for a 1st time CS experience.. In fact all experiences have been positive, hosting and surfing.

Interests

Wooaahh a whole pile... I like music and dance in a huge range of genres. I like astrology (looking at the stars, moon and wonder about it all), reading (Herman Hesse, Saramago, Redfield, Jodorowski) traveling, meeting people, adventures of all kinds and going out..:o)

Music, Movies, and Books

ermm... I am extremely open minded when it comes to music but perhaps a bit stuck in past decades, which I try to combine with reality bites.

When it comes to books I am a bit more selective and chose to read books I look for rather than readers digest ones.
As per movies I can see virtually anything.. a different matter is if its fulfilling or not but that's another story. I am far more interested in art cinema than in big Hollywood productions but respect them all as the art pieces they are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing ive done was to be brave enough to leave my hometown barely aged 20 and finding myself living in LONDON a city where I grew up, made lifelong friendships and experienced most sides of LIFE. London and all the pieces that make the jigsaw..

Teach, Learn, Share

Less gadgets, less mobiles, less apps... more talking, more gazing, more giving, more OPEN
