Overview
About Me
I consider myself a calm and friendly person. I'm also quite rational. I'm open minded to other cultures and ways of living. I like hanging out, drinking and eating, music, literature, cinema, videogames and culture in general. I'm currently studying medicine to become a doctor. I love languages and travelling.
Me considero una persona sociable y tranquila. Racional hasta cierto punto. Tengo la mente abierta a otras culturas y formas de ver la vida.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I want to explore the world and meeting people with a different culture and from different places than my usual ambient. Aside from that, I want to participate in this experience of solidarity, that is sharing your house, your home, and even your way of living and your city to someone unknown to you and in good faith.
Porque quiero ver mundo y conocer gente de otras culturas y lugares muy diferentes a mi ambiente habitual. Aparte, quiero ser partícipe de esta experiencia solidaria que es compartir tu casa, tu hogar, e incluso tu modo de vida y tu ciudad a alguien desconocido y de buena fe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The best is yet to come.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love medicine and languages (I know English, French and Spanish and would love to learn Classics). I also enjoy history, politics, biology...In my free time I watch a lot of movies, read books and play videogames, so I have some knowledge and can talk of those topics :^)
I also like to hang out and partying :^P
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can show them the place I currently live in, Granada, a beautiful city with lots and different things of things to do. From the completely astounding palace of Alhambra to the vivid student nightlife of Pedro Antonio street.
Other interesting places around I'm familiar with are Úbeda, the small city I spent my infance in, a UNESCO protected place with marvelous Renaissance architecture and Jaén, the calm and comfortable city where I was born and spent my teenage years. Highlights in Jaén are the Arab Baths, the Castle and the Cathedral (Renaissance style).
In my house, I would always try to make my guests the most cozy and comfortable possible. Hanging out with them, visiting and showing them places, giving them advice or, on the other hand, giving them space if required or preferred. I don't consider myself an annoying person at all.
