About Me

Considering myself an enthusiastic person, love traveling even if I don´t do it as frequently as I desire. Absolutely in love with all languages, even those which require an entire life to be learned. Convinced about the fact that the essence of a trip are the people you find on the way and their life experiences. Always eager to learn in every aspect of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Share moments, places and experiences might be a good reason.

Interests

Interested in reading, traveling, sports, photography (arts in general), different cultures, similarities and contradictions which might give a clue to understand the world and its inhabitants.

Music, Movies, and Books

I recently discovered Chris Stapleton, Bebo Valdés was a big loss, Diego El Cigala fascinated me on stage, Laika Fatien is all glamour and sensuality, I find Bonobo a magician of sounds. They are some of the first names which came to my mind, among many others.

I am now reading "The wise man´s fear" but I would say that my favorite genre is the travel literature.

A film watched recently that I liked is "Boyhood", and I admire the Argentinean actor Ricardo Darín and almost all his movies. Recommend "Wild Tales" for instance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed Africa by plane to live in Île de la Reuniòn and learn French some years ago, empty handed, I wasn´t fluent in French but I got a job, a house, a car and friends. That was a big challenge.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish and English. I can teach how to prepare a "paella" and some concepts of photography. Would be great to learn more of the languages I know and something about those I don´t know. I can share time, company and anything I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bed, a dinner, a walk, a visit, a hike, a camping, a road trip, a landscape view.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, England, France, Germany, Italy, Morocco, Portugal

Countries I’ve Lived In

England, France, Germany
