Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Interrail through Balkans: Bratislava, Vienna, Ljubliana, Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik... with my best friend Alicia. She will be my trip partner and we can't wait to meet nice locals in every city we visit.
ABOUT ME
Open minded, patient and easy going person. Actually I'm finishing my studies in Electrical Engineering in Madrid. I love traveling and discover cities, not just the touristic places but the charming cafes, underground pubs or local people who make the cities so special.
Music is my religion, I always try to go to concerts every week and discover bands. When I'm visiting a new city I wonder how local bands sound or how pub crowds are. If you have any recommendation about music life in your city, I would be pleased to listen to it!
PHILOSOPHY
I like to meet new open minded people and learn from other lifestyles and cultures. Now that I'm back in Madrid I love to show this city to visitors. Everytime internationals friends come to Madrid, I take them to my favorite coffees, bars, parks and introduce them to my spanish friends. After that we have a complete local international experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being a part of 15M movement ("Indignados") in Madrid during May 2011. This experience changed all my mind about politics, economics and capitalism. Now I think we can change things with effort and organization because "we are the 99%".
Going to study abroad as an Erasmus student for one year to my favorite foreign country, the Netherlands.
