Hello there!! :)

I'm a Virtual Reality in the computer games industry with a degree in Architecture.
I have been living in U.K. for a while and I have decided to move to Australia! In my way there I will be visiting Singapore, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and India.
I am traveling as a backpacker with my 80L backpack and I would love to meet lots of people in my journey :).

Juan Fact*:
I have dreadlocks by the time I am writing this: January 2018, but most probably you won't see them because I will have already cut them by the time we meet after 10 years of dreadlocks! If you wanna know there reason why, :D let me surf in your coach! :)

I have studied my undergraduate en Valencia, a lovely city, and my Master in Game Development in Birmingham, U.K.

I have used couch surfing only once, but I loved the experience, and I want to make the best out of this travel so if you have a little room I will be super grateful!! :) m also a Blablacar user, so maybe you want to check my profile there!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because it is lovely to meet people everywhere, its great to share experiences and knowledge with them, it's one of the best joys that you can find in the 21th century! Also couchsurfers make your travels easier and funnier!
The people I have met all over the world.. they are all amazing and I will never forget what they have thought me!

Música, películas y libros

MUSIC

I love Yann Tiersen and Bob Dylan, but they are just the top of the iceberg! There is an endless list of great music bands I can keep listening for hours and hours! Bonobo, Bob Marley, The Rolling Stones, Spanish Ska, slassical music, seriously, I love a LOT of very different styles, and aslo DANCING! dancing is good! Im not great at it, BUT I put loads of energy in it!

FILMS

Maybe its cliché, but the Godfather films are awesome... Tarantino, Scorsesse, Sergio Leone's movies are incredible. V for Vendetta, Donnie Darko are also one of my favourites ones!

BOOKS

Everybody must read Herman Hesse's Siddhartha at least once in their life! There are nice readings like Foundation saga from Isaac Asimov or The old man and the sea from Ernest Hemingway!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I found my ex girlfriend's cat 4 days after he went missing for the first time. Nobody could told us were he might be. But one night I just had an hunch in the middle of the night about and I kind of felt his location. So I got up at 4 a.m. that night, I had a walk around the area and et voilà! There he was, scared and happy to see a known face :D

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I love quotes, I think they are the most efficient way of teaching. These are some of my favourite ones:

- Apologies to my old love for treating the new as the first.
-if you cannot explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.
-[...] Similarly, the men who produce works of genius are not those who live in the most delicate atmosphere, whose conversation is the most brilliant or their culture the most extensive, but those who have had the power, ceasing suddenly to live only for themselves, to transform their personality into a sort of mirror, in such a way that their life, however mediocre it may be socially and even, in a sense, intellectually, is reflected by it, genius consisting in reflecting power and not int he intrinsic quality of the scene reflected.”

- [I don't understand the]“Man. because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

This is just few of them... I have tons!
