About Me

Hola!!
I am a very sociable person very interested in new cultures. I would describe myself as a very openminded person. I love nature, hence, I love hiking. I also like cooking and listening to music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason why I'm in Couchsurfing is because I love getting to know new cultures. I believe diversity gives humans that small spark that makes us interesting and makes traveling worthwhile. I think this is the easiest and more natural way getting to know locals. This way I would learn more deeply about their social issues, pros and cons of their country and the differencies between them inside the country. But, on top of that, because I think that Couchsurfing gives the opportunity to have a bidirectional exchange of traditions and beliefs. I'm sure the will be very enriching.

Interests

I am interested in any kind of learning. As it is said "one can never know too much". I like practising and watching almost every kind of sports. I love nature and cultural exchanges too.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite Disney movie is UP. I have really nice memories of when I watched it. I like Nolan's films too, I would say that I prefer Inception to Interstellar even if it's not a common opinion. I really enjoy movies when good soundtracks are played, I can say that's a reason why I like Pirattes of the Caribbean so much (apart from the hilarious character Jack Sparrow). If we speak about drama films I would say that "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is one of my favourites. I have watched many films it's hard to just choose one.

Considering my musical taste, I definitely love classical music, I consider it relaxing and more developed than nowadays music. I also like english pop music like Coldplay or spanish rock and roll too. I listen to 80s rock and roll also with Dire Straits for example.

Regarding books, my favourite genre are sci-fi, scientific disclosure, economy and some biographies. I've read some books of Michio Kaku which I found them very interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in an exchange program in High school and I spent a week in Graz (Austria) living with a local family. I learnt a lot and I really enjoyed the experince. Afterwards, last year, I spent 6 months living in Milan (Italy) in a university enchange program. This program alowed me to meet some italian students and to taste one of the best cuisine in the world!!

Another thing amazing I believe I did is to have travelled 15 days by train with only 18 years through Europe as my first big trip.

I’ve done some other amazing things like climbing 3,000-meter mountains or biking 220 kilometers in a day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Even if I'm spanish, I live in a region where we talk another different non latin language. I'm sure the host will find it interesting. Apart from that, I can cook and show some typical spanish food.
