About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn how to be happy every day * aprender a ser feliz cada día que pasa

ABOUT ME

It's very hard to describe oneself, I don't like to do it... but I'm glad some people have contacted me through this site even if I didn't say anything here.
So I'm sorry but I just leave this for the real experience and for the people who have met me!
*
Es muy difícil describirse a si mismo, no me gusta hacerlo. Me alegro de que aún así haya habido gente que ha contactado conmigo a pesar de no rellenar este hueco. Así que lo siento pero dejo esto para la vida real y para las personas que me conozcan!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know how would my life be without a passion which goes further away than what today's world wants me to do.
*
No sé qué sería de mi vida sin una pasión que vaya más allá de lo que el mundo de hoy en día quiere que haga.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's just great so far. My last trip to Egypt just wouldn't have been the same if it hadn't been for CS. So far I feel I have found amazing people here.
*
Es genial hasta ahora. Mi último viaje a Egipto no hubiera sido lo mismo de no ser por CS. Hasta ahora he encontrado gente genial.

Interests

Social and Cultural Anthropology: soooooo many things to explore!
Music: from Jack Johnson, Coldplay, Red Hot Chilli Peepers... to any music of the world (African, Indian, Bollywood style!, Rock, Jazz, Spanish, Modern Arabic) but specially classical Arabic music!
Dance: I love dancing and many types of dance (flamenco, contemporary, bollywood, kathak, baratanatyam, salsa, etc.), but my beloved is classical Egyptian style bellydance
People: What's the world without people to share it with? I love meeting new people!
*
Antropología social y cultural: aún me queda tanto por aprender!
Música: desde Jack Johnson, Coldplay y Red Hot Chilli Peepers hasta músicas de cualquier lugar del mundo (africana, índia,estilo Bollywood, rock, hazz, española, árabe moderna) pero en especial la música árabe clásica!
Danza: Me encanta bailar y me gustan muchos bailes (flamenco, contemporáneo, bollywood, kathak, baratanatyam, salsa, etc.), pero el que más me llena es la danza árabe, en especial el estilo egípcio clásico.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: Lake Mc Kenzie in Frazer Island, Australia. The most beautiful place ever and nice people around me with whom I shared the moments in there.
Done: every time I get on a plane or start a trip and feel something in my stomach, I'm nervous but at the same time so excited wondering all the things I'm going to live on the following days.
