About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Develope myself. "The aim of life is self-developement" (Oscar Wilde)

ABOUT ME

Once I graduate I moved to the UK and then, half a year later, I moved back to Spain, to study a Master's Degree in Foreign Trade in Madrid, where I am working for now. Not sure I will stay here much longer, I hope I will never settle in the same place for long.

I like: tea, russian literature, NFL, traveling on my own, sunflower seeds, electronic music, sushi, "jamón", Eastern Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Understanding different cultures makes you a better person.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I love traveling no matter where, every place could be interesting. That's much more than visiting the touristic spots and taking a picture before them, going on a trip is dicovering the culture meeting locals, soaking up the spirit of the country.

My best hobbies, other than traveling, are reading and sports (my torn ACL doesn't allow me to do everything I would want).

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't like watching movies at all, I prefer reading. To read the classics, as Dostoievski, Gogol, Kafka, Shakespeare, Swift... is a must, but I also like contemporary writers as Paul Auster, José Saramago, Javier Marías or Enrique Vila-Matas.

My favorite book of all time is Dead Souls by Gogol.
