About Me

I'm an easy-going person who enjoys spending time outdoors and connecting with nature. I appreciate good conversations that go beyond small talk and love learning from others' experiences and perspectives. I live with a minimalist mindset, focusing on what truly matters and keeping life simple. Always open to new adventures and meeting interesting people along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mi casa es tu casa" – I truly believe in the spirit of sharing and community. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to meet travelers from all over the world, hear their wild and wonderful stories, and offer a helping hand when needed. I love creating connections and making people feel welcome, whether it's through sharing a meal, a conversation, or just some local tips!

Interests

I love diving into conversations about good TV shows, movies, cricket, climbing, hiking, football, golf, tennis. Always up for learning some new.
Whatever you're passionate about, I’m happy to chat!

I'm also deeply interested in sustainable, off-grid, and organic living. My goal is to live and support initiatives focused on these values, and I’m always eager to connect with like-minded people or organizations. If you know anyone with similar interests, feel free to share their contact details!

Music, Movies, and Books

As I've gotten older, I've deleted all my "younger version" favorites since they don't really represent me anymore—haha! These days, I use brown noise as my go-to for work. Beyond that, I enjoy listening to Hans Zimmer, Ludovico Einaudi, and any random music that catches my ear.

For movies, I appreciate works from all the great directors. There was a time when V for Vendetta, Cloud Atlas, and Alan Moore's stories really stood out to me.

As for books... well, I’ve kind of stopped reading for leisure. Nowadays, it’s mainly work-related stuff!
