I am a self employed artist, traveling and working for vfx and games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people and connect at a deeper level with the land and culture, immersing in new different ways of living, playing, dancing, and cooking from around the world.

Interests

With a background in fine arts I have worked in vfx, animation and photo manipulation for many years, I am eager to keep my skills growing while exploring the world and getting inspired by its wonders and people.

Music, Movies, and Books

It is always difficult to pick, but I think the top movie which influenced my path is undeniably Jurassic Park, or Space Jam, or Mask, or, Roger Rabbit, or maybe TrumanShow, oh, I don’t know.

But that was for life action, for animation probably I’d go for Pompoko from Studio Ghibli, and a classic, little Mermaid.

I tend to think Dr.Slump comic books and tv show likely had an impact on my sense of humor.

Some books I’ve enjoyed:
La catedral del mar, Ildefonso Falcones
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Mark Haddon
The Last Jew, Noah Gordon
The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared, Jonas Jonasson
The Celestine Prophecy, James Redfield
At Home: A Short History of Private Life, Bill Bryson

Teach, Learn, Share

I am excited to learn different dances, local games, and discover rare cultural traditions, food and clothing.

Happy to always share knowledge, tips, stories, games, wine, food and adventures!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with english/spanish/catalan/french language practice, do handcrafts together, share some experiences, game nights filled with laughter, or quiet moments listening to the breeze, the sea, or the song of the crickets under a starry sky.
