About Me

Positive thinking, calm and friendly person who loves learning from different cultures. I am a classical pianist, grown up in Canary Islands (Tenerife and La Palma). I just quit my job as a pianist in Andalucía. My plan for this year is traveling as much as I can :)

PHILOSOPHY: "Life is today" and, as Albert Einstein said to his daugther, "Love is the answer"

---
I paste here part of Albert Einstein's letter, maybe you want to read it! :)

"There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE. When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force.

Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it.
Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others.

Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals.

For love we live and die.
Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it is so interesting to know people from different cultures, because I love showing my city and because it is a very beautiful and generous thing to do and I think it makes the world a little bit better.

Enjoy little things, having good coffees in nice places, tasting new wines and food, listening to life music, discovering new things, helping others, personal growing, jumping from confort zone, making new friends who come to visit me later and repit everything from the beggining :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like classical music but I also worked for many years as a musical director in a Drama School. This job introduced me to a new world, musical theatre, wich I love.
I also love cinema (french, spanish, argentine, classics...: "Pequeñas mentiras sin importancia", "Intocables", "Celda 211", "La vida de los otros", "Uno, dos, tres", "Irma la dulce"...)
Literature (La insoportable levedad del ser, De todo lo visible y lo invisible, La elegancia del erizo...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dirigir musicales
Trekking on the volcanos of the island of La Palma
Traveling around central Europe by my own

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show my town. I can talk about history or culture and show you the best places to visit and to eat. I can teach music and piano.

I want to learn from different cultures and ways of living, history, music and arts. I would like to improve my english and learn new idioms (german, french...).
