About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life meeting great people everywhere and travelling as much as I can.
Going to Gothemburg for the next two years to study Sound and Vibration MSc.
Last year I travelled around South Asia for 7 months with a friend, from India to Singapour by bus/car/train.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy-going spanish guy, 22 years old, who loves sports, music and friends. I enjoy playing guitar and everything related with music.
On 2013, I did an Erasmus (exchange student programme) in Lulea, Sweden, where I met amazing people and where I learnt how awesome and necessary it is to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a calm person sometimes, a party person another times. Sometimes with friends, sometimes with my guitar, sometimes with my guitar and my friends. I love people and positive feelings. Live and let live, it sounds very typical but it is like it is.
The erasmus year I did in '13-'14 opened my mind a lot in a really positive way.
"What you don't share it just get lost" once my father told me
"Lo que no se da se pierde" in spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I created my account in London, in the summer of 2011. I was there for a month and I used it to make meetings with diferent people all over the city since I went there by myself and I wanted to meet people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As far as it goes I have only had beyond-great experiences. Me and 3 friends of mine used it a lot when we where doing our Interail trip, during 2014 Summer. We met amazing people, slept at amazing places (everyone in Berlin should try Teepee Land, grateful forever guys).
I have only hosted once (unfortunately in Spain when you are 22 you still live with your parents and it is not really easy to reach an agreement with your mother, I can tell you). I did it when I was in Lulea, and it was a really good experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Asturias is amazing.

Skiing in the Alps.
Surviving to an Interail eating ham and cheese sandwitches everyday for lunch and dinner.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like teaching spanish to my foreign friends, I feel like I have no competitor.
I really like to share all I have with my friends and more than a talker I am more of a listener, I really like to listen to people and learn from them.
