Exploring the world, one bit at a time.

I've been travelling for a while now. I studied six months in The Netherlands, with an Erasmus, when I was 22, but the real deal came 4 years later, when I moved to Cork, Ireland, to work and live on my own. From that moment on I couldn't think of a strong enough reason to make me come back and settle in Spain again. I love the feeling of being away, living in a different country, being a little an outsider. I met my wife and moved with her to South Korea, then visited Japan, Ukraine, and Spain for a while. Then we moved to Shanghai, and now it's been more than 3 years that I'm working here. My wife is now working in Cambodia, and I'm still here, so I have an empty couch that I can share!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a cozy house for myself and my cat in the centre of Shanghai, and I like meeting travellers, so... why not?

Interests

I like cinema (the most), music, books, comics (when I had money to buy them, but not now) and videogames (sometimes, not so much lately).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That I'm proud of: I finished the 100% of SuperMario World.
