I'm an aeronautical engineer who decided to leave his office for 1 year to travel the world :)

But I'm also a violinist, a guitar trainee, a card conjurer apprentice, a sailor and a boardgames player.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people during my trips, to share our cultures, our points of view and our tastes. I really like the idea of discovering a place through the people living there and not through hostels and organized tours.

Quiero encontrar personas en mis viajes, para compartir nuestras culturas, nuestras opiniones y nuestros gustos. Me gusta la idea de descubrir un lugar a traves de la gente viviendo alli y no gracias a los hosteles o los viajes organizados.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite band is Dire Straits, for its unique swing. But I like a wide range of musics: hard rock, a lot of jazz and movie soundtracks, classical music to get focus and a little bit of pop to cheer up when I need :)

My favourite films are, among others:
Big fish, by Tim Burton
I Origins, by Mike Cahill
A beautiful mind, by Ron Howard
One flew over the cuckoo's nest, by Miloš Forman

Some books that really marked me:
L'équipage, by Joseph Kessel
Royal assassin, by Robin Hobb
The Giver, by Lois Lowry

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I entered a port all sails set at around 8 knots (without engine) and when zigzaging to try to slow down the boat, I almost lost one of my crew members in the water. The boom (the beam perpendicular to the mast) hurt him at high speed. Happily, he managed to partially dodge it and grab a part of the boat to avoid falling in the water. He just got a scratch on his forehead and all ended well but it is one of my most thrilling moments !

Yo entre en un puerto con todas las velas izadas a 8 nudos (sin el motor) y cuando zigzagueaba para frenar el buque, casi perdi a uno de los miembros de la tripulacion en el agua. La botavara (la barra perpendicular al mastil) le golpeo muy rapidamente. Por suerte, mas o menos consiguio evitarla y tomar una parte del buque para no caer en el agua. Solo tuvo un rasguño en la cabeza y todo acabo bien pero fue uno de los mas emocionantes momentos de mi vida !
