CURRENT MISSION

I am one of those fools who feels he has to change the World. Right now, I am just focusing in the little day to day details of my life, my friends and my city, just trying to learn as much as I can and to live as intense as I endure.

ABOUT ME

Doing an Erasmus Mundus Masters on Sustainable Territorial Developemt. Back in my city, I'm involved in local politics from a grass-roots perspective.

Always enjoy a sincere talk and not a fan of chitchat, I'm not good in small talking. I prefer big talking and it is way better when u have some jazz music as background. I like smoky ambients for this big talks.

I like water and its freshness and constant movement. I enjoy listening to the sea and I want to get away of the hot weather that I'm used to. Never seen real snow in my life, but took ski lessons over wet brushes.

Do not like to judge and I prefer people show themselves as they are, maybe because it is too hard for me to do that.

Enjoy listening good stories and to start new projects.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience new things everyday. Keep your eyes open and develop the capacity of getting excited. Enjoy the moments that you share with the people that you care for. Never regret the things you do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted Felipe, my chileno friend, in my Madrid's flat for one night. It was a my first CS experience and it was great. It only assures my interest in keep hosting people from all over the world.

I've been welcomed by three hosts. Graham in Valencia, Paul in Granada and Judy in Orense.

Interests

Maybe not really original: travel across my country and the entire world.

Politics and the public policies that are intended to rescue the social cohesion in the cities, like the ones practiced in Medellín, Colombia.

News and journalism and the great power that they have. Also, I like the well done radio shows. The ones that leave you with a good taste when the emission ends.
