I was born in Sevilla (Andalucía) and I am currently based in Madrid. I work part time as receptionist in a hotel here. I have my cinematography studies and I do freelance photography too: www.exiliofoto.com

I am calm, easy-going and creative. I appreciate japanese culture and I try to travel there when I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I consider traveling as one of the most effective ways to know the world, and also the most exciting.
I surfed in Japan, Thailand, Greece, Czech Republic, Hungary, Turkey, France and Spain. I can say I always had great experiences with CS and I hope I can do it for many years. I hosted a couple of times.

Interests

I love cinema, music, traveling and photography. I like going out with friends, walk on the streets, big cities, exotic places, coffee time, the summer, diversity! I specially like asian culture (mostly Japanese).
