Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To be happy by travelling , slowly but steadily, towards some goals on the top of a mountain. The moment of reaching them does not matter so much to me, the fun is always on the way. I try hard to learn how to let the Universe flow, and flow with it . .
ABOUT ME
I think I´m definitely not a bad person. If you are open, I am also open, relaxed and with a good dose of humor. I greatly enjoy conversations about all kind of stuff which exists in life, about "the divine and humane" (as we say in Spain), I enjoy listening stories, and telling them. If you fancy a drink or good food, a cigarette or a shisha, while seating comfortably or wandering around without route, I am up to it!.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
All the people I met in my Erasmus were talking about it, it was like an international connection. Since I´m most of the time abroad and I want to avoid travelling like a tourist, by meeting real humans instead of just buildings , it was a good choice!. On the other hand, this is a fantastic tool to bring people from everywhere together, what gives a nice taste of universal fraternity :)
Here I have talked to persons from all backgrounds and lands, I have shared very different experiences, learnt about the world not only from books or the media. And I feel this has enriched myself inside a lot in few years.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Untill now, I was a guest in Klaipeda for a Jazz Festival, in Warsaw and in Viena during a hitch-hiking trip, and several times I was hosted by friends who were also couchsurfers. I was a host only once in Madrid, but I participated in a lot of CS events there, and to a lesser extent in Münster.
Interests
Most of my childhood I lived in the countryside, so that when I have the opportunity I like to walk across the mountains, or going by bike everywhere through rural paths.
With regard to theoretical stuff, I´m interested in everything related to us, crazy humans, and our present and past societies. I always have four or five books open all over the place, what made my mother and ex-girlfriends suspect that I am a sort of Diogenes-like hoarder:) . In literature I vibrated with "Zorba the Greek", "One hundred years of solitude", "On the Road" , for instance. Surrealism, expressionism amd symbolism gives me good vibes both in poetry and in visual art.
And I am a true fan of psychedelic rock!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bald and rocky mountains in Spain , snowy ones in southern Poland, and La Mancha Plain with the sunset
Love in a colourful 15m2 studio, with views to a street full of autumn trees and small shops. One could open the back window, see the chimneys, and feel that it was always summer
Teach, Learn, Share
I play the guitar, sing with chords ,or experiment with rythms and melodies . In Germany I used to play with some folks in the dormitory kitchen and in a choir. Tell me a song, and we will sing together!
Otherwise I can teach you Spanish, from collochial expressions to bad words, very useful if you visit my country in the future
