CURRENT MISSION

Hit the roads

ABOUT ME

I studied Computer Science in Murcia and when I was 27 I moved to Madrid in order to get a job. Now I'm working as an Engineer here. Yes, I know, I know... this is the most boring "personal description" you have ever read. Sorry I'm not the legend you were expecting!

I'm a regular guy who enjoys regular things such as hanging out with friends, music, driving, an occasional drink, cinema, holidays, food, etc. and sometimes I'm fed up with my routine, the comforts of life, my fears... so I depart by roads.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't talk to strangers" Worst advice ever been given!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While my first few times were as a couch surfer, I am now fortunate enough to offer up a couch in return.

There are probably much nicer couches in Madrid to stay on, but if you want to meet my weird friends and hear a live blues version of the spanish classic LA PALOMA, I'm the man. Of course you don't have to cook for me or be any good at small talk.

Interests

Over the years, Photography has been for me a great and strange way to learn and speak about myself (sounds weird, I know), so I wish I could continue the quest. Meanwhile, here you are, the corpses on the way http://www.flickr.com/pajaro_azul/

I also love playing Music, knowing people and culture from different countries and making fool of myself!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rock/blues/folk music, and I also play harmonica, guitar and mandolin.

I must admit that i have not read as many books as i should have read with my artsy-fartsy appearance. Sorry for that. But to compensate, I really enjoy photography and art-related stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once drove a 20 years old Peugeot-205 from Murcia to Belgrade. I came back with the same car. More than 6000km with my old red 4-wheel buddy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can show a few things about photography (rules, composition, artists...)
I can show you how to play harmonica.
How to play cards and lose (any game).

....
Allright, allright... My strong point: I can also show you how to stand in front of a Mark Rothko's painting with a casual but carefully studied pose pretending you are understanding the inscrutability of the universe and being the envy of other museum visitors!

Countries I’ve Lived In
