--------------ENGLISH--------------
Hey wanderers! I'm a travel addict as well and I think there is no rehab centre for that :P
I love finding beautiful places, taking pictures of incredible sceneries but I believe people make places worth visiting!

[If you read my profile, tell me about your FAVOURITE DISH and I will consider hosting you!]

I also love languages. When I travel abroad I always try to learn some local words and expressions even if it's not necessary! My goal is to become fluent in 8 tongues! So I would really appreciate if you help me with Portuguese, French, Italian, Russian, Mandarin Chinese or Japanese. I can help you practice Spanish or English. I've been teaching for a while, just some weekly sessions on Skype so I've got some experience.
I'm not looking for a relationship here.

My next probable trips are:

China (to study Chinese)

--------------ESPAÑOL--------------
¡Hola viajantes! Soy un adicto a viajar y creo que no hay un centro de rehabilitación para eso :P
Me encanta encontrar lugares hermosos, tomar fotografías de paisajes increíbles pero creo que las personas hacen que los lugares valgan la pena.

[Si leíste mi perfil, escríbeme sobre tu PLATO FAVORITO y consideraré hospedarte!]

También adoro los idiomas. Cuando viajo al exterior siempre intento aprende algunas palabras y expresiones locales, ¡aún cuando no es necesario! ¡Mi meta es adquirir fluidez en 8 lenguas! Así que realmente apreciaría si me ayuda con el portugués, francés, italiano, ruso, chino mandarín o japonés. Puedo ayudarle con el español o el inglés. He estado enseñando por un tiempo, sólo sesiones semanales por Skype, así que tengo algo de experiencia.
No estoy aquí buscando un relación.

Mis próximos probables viajes son:

China (para estudiar chino)

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
International Rock, mostly in English, like Kings Of Leon, Coldplay, The Cure, Queen, The Killers, etc. but then I am quite open-minded.

MOVIES/SERIES
It's difficult to choose, but I love movies that have more profound messages. Forest Gump, The Prestige, Jeux d'enfants, Pixar movies, The Big Fish and so-on.
Series like Black Mirror, GOT, Monster (Anime) and Cosmos, are among my favourites.

BOOKS
I love short stories, mystery and fantasy . The Bottle Imp, La Sombra del Viento, The Black Cat,
I collect versions of Le Petit Prince in the languages I am learning; I've got 6 so far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I travelled to China, apart from the usual touristic spots, I just walked around, with no maps, through non-turistic places where there was not a single foreigner, with a poor level of Mandarin :D

- I slept one night in Patagonia (Argentina) under a sky full of stars, just with my sleeping bag (and it was a freezing cold night!)

- I explored Scandinavia through its train system. Beautiful views on the way.

- I travelled through small villages all my way to meet my sister who was travelling through the Amazonas like a backpacker.
