About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Win the Eurovision Song Contest

ABOUT ME

Back on CS after a 5-years break. How is the community doing ?

Boring guy, no sense of humour, I like spending hours watching stupid things on TV, I never smile (can't stand wrinkles) , and, of course, I hate travelling and meeting people.

BUT! Since I have discovered CS I'm trying to open my mind to other cultures and interesting people from all over the world. It's hard for me, but I'm getting better! ;-)

When travelling I don't like planning more than mandatory. For instance, in Venice last year : "hey guys! What about renting a care and going to Bosnia?" unforgettable..

PHILOSOPHY

Optimistic, open-minded, interested in all religions and ways of thinking.

Doing my best to be happy and to spread happiness among my friends

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have "always" couchsurfed and couchhosted, probably since I was a few days old. My parents are Spanish migrants, grew up with the "my casa tu casa" attitude, this kind of things..
Since I joined CS I have surfed around 10 couches (London, Bangkok, Iceland, Vienna) and hosted a lot of travellers, mainly in India

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I signed up in December 07 when living in Madrid. I couldn't host so I've been a "welcome guide" for people moving in town or people having some hours to visit around.
After that, I've been living abroad and traveling, hosting and surfing. So far not a single bad experience and almost all were incredibly rewarding and unforgettable.

Interests

Crazy about travelling, learning languages and meeting people.

I hate TV and lazy people.. but I love everything else!!

Music, Movies, and Books

The last books I have read : 1984 (G. Orwell) and Les Misérables (V. Hugo). Both of them made a great impression on me. Read them !!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"surfing" on icebergs in Jökullsarlón ?

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm about to become an engineer in a few months in the field of energy, but I'm afraid I couldn't teach much about it...

I speak some languages (French and Spanish are my mothertongues, I know some English) and I'm learning some other ones (German, Chinese, Italian and Icelandic "já já! ég er adh laera íslensku!") so if anybody want to practice/learn/teach ?

What else ? Well, I can teach basic cooking. My speciality is over-cooked pasta ;-)

I'm afraid that will be all I can do for the CouchSurfing University!
