About Me

I'm an uncomplicated person. I love art, books, movies, design, but most of all music. Also love the outdoors and bicycling in particular.

I don't smoke or do drugs, my poison of choice is red wine (in moderation) and coffee (less moderated).

I´ll be departing for Asia on March 2016. Here's the countries I will visit:

Japan
China
Vietnam
Thailand
Cambodia
Nepal
Philippines
India
UAE
Egypt
Turkey
Greece
Spain
(Maybe more of Europe time and money allowing)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travel and getting to know people from different parts of the world. I also believe in kindness and being the best host you can be. An all around ambassador for your country.

Interests

I like to create things: I design, photograph, illustrate, film and make music. I often think I don't excel in neither of those because I can't focus in one, however my absolute favorite thing is making music. Either playing an instrument (I play, guitar, bass and ukelele) or fussing about with soft synthesizers and sequencers I have a blast of a time.

Photography is a close second. Specially street photography which I get nervous about but still love to do.

Music, Movies, and Books

My love of music includes a wide, wide range of genres and bands. I can go from Mozart to Sepultura in the same day and in between having listened to Brian Eno, Duke Ellington, Infected Mushroom and Sigur Ros.

I love 80´s movies and old movies in general. My favorites probably are Big Trouble in Little China, Master & Commander and the whole Studio Ghibli catalog, and more recently I greatly enjoyed Inception, The Cabin in the Woods.

I have read a lot some favorite authors: Frank Herbert, Tolkien, Rudyard Kipling, Mark Twain, Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Amado, Umberto Eco.

I also love comics and graphic novels. Right now I'm reading the whole lot of Peanuts strips!
