About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Laugh, learn, have fun, live long with people from all around the globe

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded, friendly and easy-going globetrotter who is always seeking to try new experiences and adventures to get away from daily routine. I love learning new languages because I'm one of those who think that every language is a world, that is better understanding a culture and seeing the world from different perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always wanted to do Couchsurfing, but there were loads of thing that detters me from doing it, such as the fact that we are hosting a stranger or staying in a stranger's house.
However, this year some friends that have experienced couchsurfing have told me that is was a very rewarding experience, because they've learnt a lot in terms of handling life's problems and spiritually, i.e. they've found out more sides of their personality. Needless to say that one should carefully choose a reliable coursurfing by using common sense.
I'm on Couchsurfing because on top of enjoying travelling, I love meeting people from the places I'm going to visit, since there is nothing better than local to get to know the culture. Moreover, I'm always eager to meet new people because I think that we are all different and that difference is what makes us special, and our personality is somewhat shaped with the people we meet and the experiences we live. Thus, we always have something to offer, even if we are not aware of it.

Interests

I goes without saying that in my free time I love travelling around and meeting new people. I like cycling and skating and playing sports such as volleyball, tennis... even if I'm not very good at it. I love music and I'm starting to learn how to play guitar. One of my favourite things to do when I'm in holidays is reading a good book at the beach.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music genres , but the ones that I like the most is indie rock. I listen to Jack Johnson when I need some rest, Debussy when studying, the Kooks when driving, My Chemical Romance when I want to break free, Artic Monkeys after studying, the Beatles, Oasis, Nirvana, Green Day, Andres Suárez, Marwan, Miss Cafeina... and the list goes on and on. I also LOVE MUSICALS ( Wicked, Mamma Mia, Les Misérables, etc), two works of art brought together into a single piece.

As for movies, I am especially fond of French films, such as Le dîner de cons (Francis Veber), Jeux d'enfants (Guillaume Canet)... I also like Invictus (Clint Eastwood), Match point (Woody Allen), Titanic (David Cameron), Snatch (Guy Ritchie), Ocean's saga (Steven Soderbergh), The Notebook (oddly I like the film but not the book) and so on.

When it comes to books, I like reading the ones that refers to historical and cultural facts, such as the ones of Dan Brown, also the ones that slightly refers to psychological matters such as La Buena Suerte or Les Dieux Voyagent Toujours Incognito (Laurent Gounelle), Le Voleur d'Ombres (Marc Levy). Of course I also like fansasy novels and Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Isabel Allende, etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you like languages, you've found the right person to practice with! Moreover, as I love travelling, I can provide you with some advice and interesting facts of the cultures I've been in contact with.

LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE

Laughter is the antidote to stress, pain since it boosts immunity, lowers stress hormones, relaxes your muscles, adds joy to life, improves mood and strengthens relationships.

Why don't we simply laugh together?
