About Me

I just love history and amazing landscapes.
Getting to know new people and their stories is something that I really appreciate.
I am always eager to learn more about culture, people, places, politics and languages.
I like writing poetry, making music, reading, enjoying a nice up of coffee and having nice conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to know new people places histories and cultures, and by couchsurfing I could already make some really good friends.

Interests

I really enjoy history, music, a good book, chill with friends and travelling, of course.
I like to hear what people have to say about their lives.
I am also a musician (or at least I like to think I am), then I can play the guitar and the piano.
In general I think I am a kind of a geek on the inside, a little bit nerdy and introspective

Music, Movies, and Books

I like any kind of book, as soon as it is good. But I tend to have a preference for fantasy books, adventure and transcedentalism. Some of my favorites are:

- The name of the wind, Patrick Rothfuss
- The call of the wild, Jack London
- Walden, or life in the woods, H.D. Thoreau
- Notes from the Underground, Dostoievski
- The Mysterious Stranger, Mark Twain
- The old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway
- Demian, Herman Hesse
- Everything from J. R. Tolkien and Bernard Cornwell

Regarding music, I'm very eclectic. In general I listen to post rock, 80's music, and metal. The top ones I guess would be AmenRa, Dead Can Dance, Agalloch, Lantlôs, Shining, Alcest, Katatonia, If These Trees Could Talk and Type o Negative.

I love cinema, and I specially like any movie that is mindfucking. Favorite directors would be Chan-Wook Park, Quentin Tarantino, Lars von Trier, Ingmar Bergman, George Lucas and Peter Jackson.

I'm really into horror, historical movies, movies that talk about the cosmos and the universe and anything from Monty Python. Some of my favorites beyond that are Taxi Driver, Ginger Snaps, Closer, Donnie Darko, The Breakfast Club, Baraka, Interestellar, A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club and Hounddog.

I am extremely addicted to series. Some of my favorites are Breaking Bad, Mr Robot, Penny Dreadful, Sons of Anarchy, Vikings and Black Mirror.
