About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just trying to enjoy every moment in life and taking every chance to live a new experience - I have plans for the future but i try not to spend too much time thinking about it.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Spanish guy who likes meeting new people and learning from anything they can offer me. I'm openminded, i like joking, laughing and positive people. I like to discover new places and cultures.
I try to avoid negative, judging and intolerant people.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything has beauty, but not everybody can see it - Confucius

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I use couchsurfing to travel around the world, meeting the locals and learning from their experiences, conversations and stories. In our Erasmus flat in Bucharest we hosted people from coachsurfing, friends, friends of friends and travellers we met in Bucharest and didn't have a place to sleep. That was the starting point.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing allowed me to meet new people from different places with different lifestyles. Thanks to them i discovered places i didn't expect to, ate delicous food and had unforgottable moments, what makes me look forward to live new adventures.

Interests

I like meeting new people, specially the locals. I think everyone has something special to offer.
I really enjoy doing sport. I practiced Kick-Boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and recently i started training MMA. I like working out and calisthenics and achieving new abilities. And lately i am a bit obsessed about handbalancing :))
I like dancing salsa, bachata and kizomba.
I love food and trying any new dish i can find on my way.
I love hanging out with my friends and partying all night long.
I like travelling, discover new places and live new experiences, i think is one of those feelings you will carry with you for the rest of your live. And lately i have discovered a hidden joy in travel photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of movies. Some i like: Patch Adams, John Q., Finding Forrester, Coach Carter, Million Dollar Baby, Good Will Hunting, The shawshank redemption and Men of Honor.

I like all kinds of music, not a particular gender. I just have to listen a song that touches me deep inside.

I love reading, specially books that make me think: George Orwell - 1984; Hermann Hess - Siddharta; Laurent Gounelle - No me iré sin decirte adónde voy.

I also like reading about psycology and inner evolving.
