About Me

I'm a very active person, I love travelling and taking risks, since I believe best things in life happen when you do. I can't stay in one place for a long time, so I like to experience new cultures and ways of thinking when posible.
I believe in education and arts as motors for social improvement and change.
I'm a social educator (something between a social worker and a community psychologist in other countries) and I've worked several times with teenagers that are struggling in society. I'm also a camp monitor as a professional and I love it, which means I love kids, I love playing, doing sports, dancing like crazy, singing stupid songs, screaming and basicly making a fool of myself. But it's the most fun job ever,
Besides work, I also volunteer educating teenagers to change the world in a Scout organization (being a scout pretty much sums who I am), and I'm part of an NGO where we attend homeless people in the streets and in a home we provide to them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love to meet new people from everywhere so I can learn from them. Also I think you can never say you know a place if you don't know the locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like ALL kinds of music, specially indie, rock, rap and ska. I'm not naming bands or songs 'cause I just love music and I would never end.
My favorite movies are the ones that make you think deeply, and also fantastic movies and absurd humour ones. I really like Monthy Pyton, and the perfect combination of Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter and Jhonny Depp.
I've read tones of books, my favorite writer is Eduardo Galeano, and I like others like Pablo Neruda, JK Rowling, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left my homecountry by myself for a whole year when I was only 16, I guess it's kind of crazy when you think it like that.
Also I was hitchhiking in Chile, and a hearse driver picked me up... in the back of the car. It was so random, but at least it was empty.
I was on TV in Croatia, dancing ballet in the middle of a fountain,
There are tones of crazy things that have happened to me travelling, we'll have time to share stories if we meet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about camping since I've been a scout for 17 years now, I can also teach the basics of guitar, and of course one of the three languages I know (english, galician and spanish).
I would love to learn how to play any local or weird instruments, and any language you can teach me! That would be awesome!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tones of stories, and maybe can cook something! Also I love music, I play guitar and sing, although I'm not a pro, but if you make music we can spend some time enjoying the music vibes!
