About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding my place on Earth no matter how far.

ABOUT ME

As I said before since I left my parents' for college when I was 18 I've been trying to find my place on Earth. The puzzle is getting hellish difficult and the more difficult it gets the happier it makes me.
First I jumped to a neighbouring city, Pamplona, which happened to be the best 3 years of my life.
Then I worked my ass to England where I met a bunch of crazy 'continentals' trying to survive the hostile island.
After half a year I moved to Holland where I enjoyed two and a half years of study/work.
Currently my quest goes on as I learn new things at new places. India, Nepal, Thailand, Camboodia... God only knows if I'll find whatever I'm looking for!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got to know about CS a couple of years ago. Until now I've been mainly a guest (I guess Delft wasn't the coolest place to visit) but I've been a member of similar societies like AEGEE where I was more active.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although not within the CS network, when I moved to Holland I surfed up to 5 couches before I found my own place.

Interests

I used to say that my interests were two: travelling and partying. My past experiences showed that I happened to have the best parties while travelling so now you can think of my two passions as one.
Besides, I like sports (cycling, climbing, windsurfing...) and cooking.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like 80s music (Police, U2, Queen) but lately I've fallen in love with new classical (Wim Mertens, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Yan Tiersen...).
