About Me

CURRENT MISSION

keep working to earn more money to spend holidays travelling no matter where...

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded person, easy to talk to about everything, ready to learn some stuff from everybody. That's all, it's difficult to describe myself!

PHILOSOPHY

As my adorate Monty Python say in "Life of Brian": "Always look on the bright side of life"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch to sleep in the living-room, sharing it with my cat, used to sleep alone. I organize activities in my city (Madrid) from time to time (I'm the boardgames meeting organizer :D), and participate in some others as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Apart from meetings in Madrid, I've been with CSers in Hungary, Serbia, France, Italy... Sometimes I was completely alone there, so thanks to CS I met some great people!

Interests

- I'm a total freak of beer, not of drinking amounts but of good beer (Belgian, German...). as a second "job", I own a beer store with 2 colleagues, so if you like beer, I'll be your guy! :)
- I collect coins (just coins, not notes) during my trips as well. Actually, my friends give me coins whenever they travel. I hope to reach the 1000 coins in a couple of years...
- My second passion is to travel. Well, I use to combine these two passions and make a lot of trips including beer (festivals, etc.).
- I used to watch a lot of films every week; now, I've substituted them by TV series. I think I see more than 10 episodes per week (the new ones; there are always another "old" series to watch as well :P). So I consider myself a good "consultant" :D.
- I like a lot to play boardgames (Puerto Rico, Le Havre, Caylus, and so many others).
- I love sports, as practicing (biking, basketball, rafting, canyoning) as watching on TV (football, basketball, tennis)

Music, Movies, and Books

- Hitchock, Allen, Kubrick, Lubitsch, Wilder, Polanski, Aronofsky, Chabrol, Costa-Gavras, Kitano, Ki-Duk, Zang Yimou, Berlanga...
- specially world music. I know music from "not normal countries" (I mean, knowing about music from Armenia, Senegal, South Africa, Russia is "not normal" comparing to US/UK). I also like more known music as Muse, Interpol, Mike Oldfield...
- I don't have many time to read. Recently, I finished "Song of ice and fire" saga. Simply great.
