About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Honey Moon Adventure Trip!

ABOUT ME

Im a normal guy and a social animal, concerned about discovering the world, meet nice people and especially to keep touch with friends that make me happy.
I enjoy so much nightlife, go out, socialise, dance, drink a little bit (once in a while is healthy), laugh, talk and enjoy good company.
I also like to practice many sports, I love sailing, surfing, volleyball, mountain bike, kite surfing and snowboarding, but also enjoy swimming and rowing.
As most of the CS people, I absolutely need to travel, it makes me feel that Im alive, that Im a social entity, that I belong to this beautiful world and Im doing my task, enjoying it and taking care of it (such a big issue nowadays with the man made global warming).
Im finishing my PhD, but I do not see myself being a teacher, they do not get enough holidays. Thus I have decided to start my own business, Im crazy...

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in what I can Feel, I feel in what I can experience. The Life is my God, there is only one, respect and enjoy it, think it is like a chest of treasures that you need to fill with the important things, as family, friends, trips, culture, partys, love, etc, All that remains and make one happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been and Im more than happy to meet new people and make them enjoy their stay wherever I am and I will be living. To host them is a pleasure as long as the previous is achieved. I do not see a free couch, I just see the chance to meet new friends, to enjoy the time together, to get best advice discovering the place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After I was 20 I started to live alone and many people, friends and friends of friends of friends, have been hanging around and I had lot of fun with all these visits. Im quite new in CS, but I have already had good experiences, although these were last September when I was soo busy finishing some publications, I hate deadlines. I didn't have enough time to be a proper host, but I tried my best.

Interests

Now! finish my PhD, enjoy my little sister from who I feel I missed the best 4 years of her childhood and focus in trace my future without forget that Im young and there are things Im must to do now, later aswell :)
Im also interested in what is happening in the world although it is frustrating to feel so impotent against all the injustices that punish primarily the weaker, whith major responsible the inept and stakeholders politicians and their friends the richest and their tool of evil and power, the army.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all the good movies, and always on the original version, pity in Spain films are dubbled into Spanish. Music, latino to dance (u can get the best of your body), and all the good songs are always welcome. Not a fan of the PunchingPunching, hahaha
I used to read a lot when I was not a busy PhD student, but good books I remember Monsson, Lord of the rings, Pillars of the Earth, The 8, The Physician, Shaman, etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Emmm, well an amazing thing that made me feel so great, was to swimm, touch and play with wild dolphins in the Mediterranean sea, when I was sailing from Alicante to Ibiza. It is a pity every year is more difficult to see these amazing animals. Without a doubt the man is the most cruel animal.

Teach, Learn, Share

Tips: www.skyscanner.net www.swoodoo.de
Learn something new everyday.
Listen others first, what you will say later will be always more valuable.
Profit time and have preference to what really make u happy, family, friends and your health.
Take care of your friends, there are really like plants, if strong, always there when you need them, giving and sharing with you the fruits that make you happy, but, if you dont water your plants, they risk wither.
