Overview
About Me
I'm a Majorcan (born and raised) lad who is currently living in Flanders because of work. I'd say I'm a bit shy, but once you get to know me I'll probably make you laugh a lot. I have a big sense of humor and I suppose is not bad to say that I'm quite clever. I like my intellectual things like literature, cinema, good TV, politics and some philosophy every now and then. And I absolutely love science. I believe the World would be a lot better if we'd spend in science a tiny little bit of what we're spending in wars and other bullshit.
I'm a bit of a geek. You know, tabletop miniature wargames, board games, comic books, role-playing, videogames (sometimes) and so on, although you probably wouldn't be able to tell from how I look like. I don't have so much time for those anymore, but I still keep all of it pretty close to my heart for whenever I have the opportunity.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Well... anyway I can. Haven't participated much yet, but that may certainly change with some fun experiences.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've met some surfers spending the night at my friends's, and we had fun all together. That's all!
Interests
Engineering, sciences, human kind development.
I recently started to play some golf at the golf club next to my work. I'm still not very good at it, but i can see myself improving if I keep on playing. And I enjoy it a lot.
And I love skiing. I try to go to the Alps as often as I can when there's good snow. You're mostly welcome for a chat if you also like winter sports.

Music, Movies, and Books
Books... you can check my library at https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/11894732-miquel. If I had to choose, though, one author immediately comes to mind: TERRY PRATCHETT (Rest in peace, by the way...).
Movies and TV shows... I try to track almost everything I watch. You can check the some of my preferences adding me as a friend in www.filmaffinity.com . My nickname is Mikelodeon. Some of the favorite movies: The cabin in the woods, Untouchable, Gran Torino, Forrest Gump, Snatch, Monsters Inc., In the name of the Father, Argo, Invictus, Monty Pythons' whatever, ...
Some of the favorite series: The Wire, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Broadwalk Empire, The Big Bang Theory, The Office, Treme, Californication.
Ah, and I'm a complete sucker for American late night talk shows. David Letterman, Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson, Jimmy Fallon...
Music... Almost everything but the worst horrible latin music and the most unbearable electronic music. The rest is OK for me. I like Rock & Indie the most, though. And I'm a sucker for a good drum'n'bass night. I love dancing to it. Some bands I'm listening to date a lot are STRFKR, Eagles of Death Metal (and no, they don't play death metal, only rock'n'roll) and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. One of my absolute favorite things in life is exploring the never-ending universe of Spotify (LOVE that thing) and looking for new bands and songs to add to my collection. I'll spend hours doing only that on quiet nights, and I'll love every minute of it. I really enjoy that thrill you get when you discover a song that makes you feel something, one of those round albums you'd listen to over and over or one of those unknown bands you couldn't wait to share with your best friends.
Food... I can eat absolutely everything. But I love Asian food, and Mediterranean one, of course.
Drinks... I'm a beer person, although I do like good wine every now and then, specially red one with a good dinner. And I love good brown Dominican rum for cuba libres or mojitos.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've seen 100.000 people shouting Messi's name in the Camp Nou (FCBarcelona great stadium) at a Champions League Semifinal and against Real Madrid. That was absolutely amazing, I tell ya!
Pretty much all my life in Mallorca is worth remembering, as well. Love my Island!
