Overview
About Me
I'm a Spaniard who lives in Stockholm (Sweden). Right now I'm living in a small student room near Stockholm University but I have an extra mattress.
As a person, I think I tend to be nice, easygoing and open minded. Some people find me rather fussy regarding food, as I have an intolerance to lactose and gluten and therefore have to be careful with what I eat. I can't drink beer or eat pasta, pizza, bread, cakes, pastries, biscuits, most sweets and ice cream, oat or soy sauce. But I can eat almost anything else, including vegetables, fruit, potatoes, rice, meat, fish and nuts.
About your request: We've all been new on Couchsurfing at some point so I don't really mind that you don't have any references. I don't mind either that your request is more or less copy-pasted. That said, there are three types of requests that I find rather annoying:
1) Requests that are obviously copy-pasted but say something lame such as "I found your profile interesting".
2) Requests in English if your native language is Spanish.
3) Requests long in advance. 1 to 10 days in advance is ideal.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm here to share with others, to meet new people and to travel not as a typical tourist but as someone who has a friend in each destination. Until now I've had some wonderful experiences and many interesting ones, both as a couchsurfer and a host.

Music, Movies, and Books
For many years I had a romantic feeling for the 1930's so I listened mostly to very old music, mainly in Spanish and English, and those are the melodies that usually come to my mind. In the past few years I've grown used to listening to more modern music in different languages.
Regarding films, I usually like the ones that are high rated on imdb and such websites, and I also like to watch some old ones. Some films I like: Gosford Park (2001), Agora (2009), Coherence (2013), Boyhood (2014), God's Own Country (2017).
When it comes to series, my favourites are probably Black Mirror (2011-), Happy Valley (2014-), Doctor Foster (2015-), Euphoria (2019-) and Strappare lungo i bordi (2021).
I love books, but I am a slow reader and tend to prefer newspapers, especially old newspapers from a hundred years ago.
