About Me

ABOUT ME

Hey there!

I just try to make the best out of simple things. Beers with friends, random conversations with random people, a paella with the family, a last-minute trip, an improvised musical gathering, the hail in my face when I'm biking..

more.. I left spain in 2010 and I love living abroad, since it seems that you learn things at a faster pace than in your home country.

feel free to contact me if you want to know more!

PHILOSOPHY

I was very close to choose philosophy for my Bachelor, but then my family told me that, sooner or later, I will have to eat.. But all my respect to all philosophers out there ;) , I really think we are doing too much without thinking first.

I've been trained in being happy without harming anything/anyone. I thought it was easy, but it wasn't until some years when I discovered how difficult it was to achieve the second part of the statement, since it seems we are hurting more than we think even with simple daily acts, as doing the groceries.

Deeper topics require beer :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed once and I'm sure I will repeat.

Interests

Music is my passion. Time flies when i play the bass, guitar, ukulele or piano. However, "jack of all trades, master of none", so I was never able to live off music.

My other main interest is to incorporate solar energy in developing countries. I hope I dedicate myself to this once I finish my research on solar panels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

reaching the "seven sisters" (seven waterfalls) by kayak in the Geirangerfjord in Norway was pretty gorgeous.
