About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet interesting people in or out of my city! Life is so short and there are so many people in the world!!

ABOUT ME

I am a valencian, who has been travelling a little bit around, and have plans to keep traveling around (a big world to visit, hehe). I like meeting new and different people, and I really enjoy showing my little world (my city, my culture, even, if you need help to catch your sleep, our history) ;). I like using my english as well (what is worth knowledge if you don´t use it?), and hope to have some fun with interesting people who arrive to my city!

Let the dance begin!

PHILOSOPHY

Not black or white, but grey. Live, and let pple live! And if you can help someone, do it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When couch is available (not always, sometimes you need your own space), travellers for one to three nights are welcome! I can provide help, advice or guidance if needed around the city or activities!

If couch not available, I specialize on sharing coffes, beach expeditions and alcohol resistance competitions (where I use to lose badly lately...).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting some people, showing fellow travellers the city or towns around it, take part in activities of the local community and even used it when traveling! The experience has been great, and I meet realy nice people!

Interests

Interests? Hmmm... maybe I would say... everything? I am curious by nature. I think curiosity is the basis of knowledge, and that brings you to wisdom!!
But, getting into details... languages (even though I only try to learn english...), travelling (helps you to change your point of view), games (if they make you use ur brain), history and sociology (know how people is, was, trying to understand how will be), dance and music (I like several kinds of music, depending of the moment), animals (i have one cat!!), photography (sometimes I even take a nice pic), books and SciFi/Fantasy (I started couchsurfing in some Meetings...), nature and ecology (I studied Biology and focused in environmental subjects) and... don´t know. Come and discover for yourself! ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I read basically when travelling. Love good SciFi and Fantasy (watch out! I said "good") ;) Like historical books. Sometimes have time for essay.
Music: All types basically, but specially cheerful music that makes you dance/sing! =) I played percussion and wind instruments for some time (folky music), but I have a wide taste (from some things very underground, to some very commercial groups).
Today's song:

Movies: Has to have a complicated plot or I get bored... hate brain killing action films :) I rather TV series and... LOVE DOCTOR WHO!!! =)
