About Me

I am a Journalism and Film student from Lugo, a small 2,000 year-old city in the northwest of Spain, right over Portugal. However, the last six years I've been living in Madrid. In the meanwhile I've also lived in Tallinn, Colorado, Mannheim and Vancouver. I love travelling and I REALLY love music. It's like my favourite thing ever. Going to concerts is my favourite activity.

Interests

If I had to choose a particular hobbie as my favourite one, it would be music. I am currently hosting a radio show on folk music, and it is amazing! You can listen at radio1190.org, it is a great college music radio.

Other interests includehiking, exploring nature and doing photography as well as video-editing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first hike ever was at Rocky Mountain National Park, over 13 000 feet. Nearly died, but enjoyed surviving it!

Got into a bus for 35 hours across the US midwest.

Went to Lollapalooza Berlin by myself, stayed 4 days exploring the city.

Teach, Learn, Share

Spanish, piano playing, audiovisuals?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a pretty decent cook when it comes to spanish dishes (tortilla? paella? tapas?)
I play the piano, so a little impromptu concert if you happen to have a keyboard could be nice!
I can share my musical taste with anyone willing to enjoy some nice tunes
Love talking and discussing every topic possible in the world -and learning if I don't know about it.
