ABOUT ME

Me encanta embutido, especialmente loganiza y espetec. I LOVE food and drink(especially lamb and cheese), so bring a sweet delight from your country and I will cook for you! I do not summing up like this its so open to misinterpretation. I am easy going, friendly, like a drink and a dance and talking about most things.
Spanish, Venezuelan and Latin American nationals are especially very welcome. I enjoy playing football; socialising; dancing; political discussions and comedy. I'm learning to scuba dive very soon : )

PHILOSOPHY

thoughtful and observant, listening, appreciating the basic and finer things of life: people, food, music, drink.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By providing convivial and fun stays in London and by meeting new people on my travels through Couchsurfing.A place is all about its people and I want to give the positive experience I have experienced on my travels. I hope to make intresting friends and re-discover treking / travelling friends in the process. Please come and visit, Spanish and Venezuelans are especially welcome, as is anyone who enjoys a good chat or dance. I am a doctorate student and lecturer of media culture, emotion and politics.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most recently met a really great CSer in Uppsala, Sweden who told me all about a wonderful music festival in Ghent, Belgium every July. I met some really good people CSing in Caracas, Venezuela August 2007, Easter 2008 most recently Berlin 2012 and host here in London as often as possible, had a couple from Czech Rep staying most recently. Recently did a flat swap via couchsurfing and met some lovely people in barcelona. I am trying to surf and host in equal measure with an emphasis on hosting as much as I can during 2012.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

someone who looked just like Jesus meditating in a delapidated shack in a storm at night at the top of Montserrat, Catalunya, it was very sublime I can tell you. Well it was mostly terrifying because it was cold, windy, dark and no one else around except me...and Jesus.
The next morning I was awoken by lightning hitting the tree above my tent.The sound of lightning at close quarters is incredible. I thought I was going to die. I ran down the mountain path which by that point was a stream. You could say I was never so happy to be alive
