Overview
About Me
I'm a Software Engineering student, now I'm doing my end-of-degree project, so ... soon I will finish uni!
I was a Erasmus student in Bialystok (Poland), but now I return to my home, in Las Palmas
I'm some kind of geek... I mean, I want to know HOW the things work, search for alternatives, learn something new... do you know that a lot of business pays for Outlook license, but Thunderbird does almost the same and it's free?
Everyone loves Netflix (Me too), but, what you can do when a TV show is not in Netflix? Maybe try to build your own Netflix? It's possible in a very short amount of time
The life is for learn new things and share the things that you already know
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I live in a small island in the Canary Islands (Gran Canaria), and it's a lovely place, but... it's small. I want to see any thing that the world wants to show me
Also, I like to know the real "soul" of the places. I mean, for me the perfect travel is not a checklist of touristic places. Sometimes your best option is to take a walk without a destination, and see what you can find
And.. it's the future! I mean, we changed our way to talk with each other, we now can buy anything from anywhere in the world from home, so .. why I should keep travelling like my grandparents?
Interests
I love reading, my ebook its my best travelmate. My favourite author is a spanish woman, Laura Gallego, but I also like reading some big authors like Stephen King, Eoin Colfer, John Verdon....
I also watch a lot of TV shows, like Narcos, Breaking Bad, Arrow, La Casa de Papel...
In music, I usually listen to spanish rap, but I like some good rock bands like Queen, RHCP,AC/DC, 30STM... discover new songs is always appreciated!
- reading

Music, Movies, and Books
Oh, I said all about this in my interest, but I have to choose one, this is my top 3:
Music artist: ZPU or Rayden (Spanish rappers)
Movie: A Knight's Tale or A walk to remember (Too different, I know)
Book: Memorias de Idhún, from Laura Gallego
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- A 33 km walking by mountains in my island, by night. It was awesome, but I was SO tired. Next day I walk like a Playmobil
- I swim in a fjord in Oslo, Norway. 1 degree outside, it was SO COLD
- Parasailing near the sea in my hometown
- Being Erasmus. This... open your mind. You learn that you can do anything on your own, but everything is better with new friends of around the world
