About Me

World citizen and engineer, I studied how to make planes fly in the skies but want to live and work closer to people on the ground. Currently studying sustainable energy at Imperial College in London, I have been volunteering and travelling around the last two years trying to find myself, and what I found were countless beautiful souls in the way. I love food almost as much as people, always open and happy to learn about everything on this tiny wonderful planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Happiness is nonsense if is not shared, same with travel! The most valuable thing I’ve got from my travels is the people that I have found along the way, that adopted me and gave me so much in exchange of very little. This world is already enough complicated to not to help each other.
I would like to continue meeting incredible people around the world, and as soon as I settle down give all that hospitality and kindness back as a host.
Open arms to everybody!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, specially jazz, indie and anything that suits well with a good book and a cup of wine/tea. With a lot of candles around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve gone to the toilet in the middle of a sandstorm in Sahara Desert and survived, I’ve crossed the Black Jungle in Germany by foot, I’ve navegated down the Amazon river on a trunk, I’ve cooked for 700 people in a refugee camp in Serbia, I’ve seen New Year’s Eve fireworks from the water of Copacabana Beach, and the most impressive of them all: I’ve always had my room tidy when my mum came to check it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Open to learn about everything (and I mean absolutely everything), and to teach everything I may know. Maybe some spanish, juggling, or even aerodynamics?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tasty food (for almost every taste), a good chat, of if you are not in the mood of chatting, nice company at least, help with chores, travel stories, beers, whatever!
