About Me

ABOUT ME

The first thing you should know about me is that, until now, I haven´t figured out how to stay at the same place for a long time. I always need to move and get to new places. Even while I was studying I lived abroad one year and I always managed to get a holiday for traveling. For this reason I traveled around Australia to discover this amazing country. Apart from this passion, that I reckon all couchsurfers have, I also enjoy all kind of arts like painting or photography. I try to keep my mind creative by writing and painting as much as I can, so I will usually carry a notebook full with sketches and lot´s of notes of my travelling. I am also a language teacher and scuba diving instructor.

PHILOSOPHY

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain

Music, Movies, and Books

I have seen many movies I liked but I can't come up with all of them right now, some examples would be: Amelie, Fight Club, Big Fish, Into the wild... With music it´s a bit of the same, I´m not very picky and enjoy almost every good song (jazz,blues, reggae, indie, rock...)However, when it comes to books I have a few favourites which I would read again: Shantaram, Sidharta, Die Verwandlung, City of Joy, A thousand splendid suns, Das Weisse Krokodil, Ensayo sobre la ceguera, Cien años de Soledad, Rayuela, The Unbearable Lightness of Being...
