About Me

Hi there! I am working and studying while I live in Maastricht, Netherlands. I love travelling so much and to be a student used to allow me enought time to do so!

I am a positive person, cheerful and eager to know and learn new things. In Spain it is said that "it is from good born to be grateful" and that's one of my tops in life.

I am now close to end my studies -Finally!- and I don't know yet what kind of life I want to have, I even doubt I could ever figure it out. To travel is useful to see different people and different ways of living and I would like to be able to pick the best parts of each one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met over years many people, with a lot more experience traveling than me, that told me awesome things about Couchsurfing.

I'm that kind of person that always wants to improve, that's my aim. This concept of continuous improvement is also know as "Kaizen" in the japanesse culture, it's very important to me. So, and due to this fact, the next big step travelling ought to be this!

Now that I've done it I feel like I really were missing something very big and special, is amazing to create a bond of trust in so little time!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love hearing any kind of non commercial music, read useful books to understand better Life in this great period of time where we were chosen to live and watch movies that make you think. Films by Kubrick, Kusturiça, Teery Gillian, Miyazaki and Satoshi Son and books, without any doubt, by Jiddu Krishnamurti.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've ridden NYC both from north to south and east to west in one single morning while I visit the city. It was incredible to be cycling between cars and buses at the same road, we were travelling so fast!

I also visited Machu Pichu and the landscape was just incredible, it was totally jungle.

But the best trip until now was at my own country, Spain. I have done "The Camino of Santiago" as a Pilgrim and it was just something to remember. You feel totally free, without any other worry than carry on walking and enjoying the lanscape. I miss it a lot when I am full of stress.

Teach, Learn, Share

I consider I don't have that much knowledge yet to teach anyone and I still keep learning, indeed, I don't like to pretend to teach as it should be something involuntary. But what I really know well are many little interesting things good to know about, kind of a fun facts freak :)

I am that kind of person who loves hearing new and different opinions, to contrast them later with my own thoughts or knowledge and grow as a person.

I find very helpful to share points of view between people from all around the world, we are so different but so similar and we all seek the same at the end!

What I Can Share with Hosts

All I can offer is my humble company; in order to share thoughts, experiences and good moments!
