Overview
About Me
Long story short. Born in Tarragona (Spain). Spend 18 years of my life there attending to school. Afterwars, spent 8 years in Barcelona. Studied Philosophy (altough never finished), also law degree in ESADE (this one i did, at least, finish, xD). Starting lots of stuff and not finishing them can be considered an important trait of my personality (also tried a bit of History and Filmaking). After uni spent sometime working as lawer and decided to go live in Japan. After some time there came back again to start studying to become a Judge in Spain. Spent 7 years in Madrid, where i currently reside with my girlfriend. Back to the lawyer track and now doing a master on human rights. On the meantime, traveled a bit. I come from a family of newborn sailors. The mediterranean sea has been my home in lots of adventures. Also been to the americas but only USA, puerto rico, caribean, and the british virgin islands (with the boat, i'm no smuggler neither a lawyer specialized in tax fraud, xD). Also some places in asia and 2 o 3 in africa.
I consider myself an easygoing person, very passionate with his purpose, who tries to appreciate the litte things in life and who cherishes most a good conversation, a bit of love, mistery, knowledge, and humanity.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to meet people and discover their culture, their way of speaking, being and doing in a cultural context that is not my own. And from that exchange of impressions and emotions, perhaps nurture some kind of friendship or at least connection.
Interests
Another trait that defines me is that i'm a super curious person. That's why my interests can be extremely wide but it also depends on how much you want me to be interested in what u are telling me, :).

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
All and none. It really depends on the mood. But there's music I tend to listen frequently, such as some catalan groups like "Els amics de les arts" o "Els Pets", spanish groups like "extremoduro", "robe", "estopa" o "vetusta morla". British groups, old and new like "the beatles", "queen", "elton John" and newer ones like "the kooks", etc etc. The list is really endless. I really like also classical, but also electroswing like parov stelar, classical rap like "nujabes" and other jap djs like "uyama hiroto" etc etc.
Movies:
I really like movies. I wouldn't say i'm the biggest expert but i've seen and enjoyed lots and lots. So this question should be answered face to face with a cup of coffe.
Books:
Haven't read as much as seen movies but "The count of Monte Cristo" has a special place in my heart.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
To tell u the truth, my most incredible feat for now if being able, as many others with the same or other stuff, to cope with the special difficulties that life brings into the table. In my case, being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when i was 22 years old (I'm 33 now).
