CURRENT MISSION

Meet new friends, visit new places, fulfill my dreams...

ABOUT ME

Originally from Huelva (southern of Spain) I moved to Norway summer 2011. I was studying computer science in another city far from home. Besides, I expend part of my education in Oslo as international student.

I like traveling and meeting people, and couchsurfing seems like a good way to do it. I am an extrovert, polite, funny and nice person (if I remember more adjectives I will update my profile :D ).

I'm curious, lax, tall, honest, kind, forgiving, hairy, absent-minded, quietly hedonistic, skeptical, indecisive (maybe), utilitarian, atheist, socially liberal, personist, haphazardly shrewd, and unnecessarily verbose.

I prefer pints in the pub with good friends rather than all-night clubbing, but it does not mean that I can whole night on the dance floor :)

I adapt easily to any situation.

If you have a problem, contact me, I always have a solution ;)

PHILOSOPHY

No one has a monopoly on the truth.
It doesn't matter what you know, it matters how you engage people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new here in CS but I've been hosting friends and surfing couches for some years now. Other than that, I stayed in hostels for several times and I really enjoy the exchange of experiences and that kind of friendship you find among travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Originally joined to get advice from couch surfers in Sweeden to advise me on weather conditions in the summer so now set up a profile and can't wait to start couch surfing, as when i do have a home where ever it will be, i will reciprocate.

Interests

I love to travel and experience new places, embrace different cultures and meet new people.

I am extremely passionate about movies, series, music and sport. it is not enough time with 24 hours a day.

I like to play and watch football. I am a huge Real Madrid fan. I have been at Santiago Bernabeu and still think it was a dream.

Watching films and reading books is another favourite pastime of mine. Tim Burton is one of my favourite directors.

FOOD! I love to cook and host dinner parties. I like how food brings people together.
I love good food, particularly Mexican food and Spanish cooking.

I am obsessed with Latin American culture, music, cuisine, dancing, lifestyle, since I am native of South America.

It is a pity that life does not last at least 200 years!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once climbed to summit of a mountain at night with some friends and drank a beer with them on the ridgeline at the stroke of midnight under a bright full moon. Afterwards we all skied back down to the lodge.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a walking lonely planet guide. I love sharing advice of what to do, sleep, eat. So many people have done this for me a long the way and I love to keep the advice rolling. I have a salsa enthusiast and love teaching people some basic steps.
