About Me

Grew up in Madrid (Spain) and Boston (USA), so I feel at home at both sides of the Atlantic. Traveled quite a bit with my parents since I was a toddler, and although slowed down when I started working, picking it up now!

I studied math (specially interested in applied math and computer science) and then worked in how to model different human (financial) behavior for 5 years.

A year ago I quit my job -relocated to Berkeley, CA- to go research the weird and exciting world of tech policy and privacy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always been into hosting people and meeting people from around the world. When you can't travel, hosting travelers is a close experience!

I can't host yet because I'm still in search for my next semi-permanent spot :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music... anything from classic Hip-hop, to japanese jazz, funky, rock'n'roll... absolutely anything!

Movies... love classic black and white movies, heist and spy movies (James Bond-fan), and absurd comedy films

Books... yes, please! Right now my pile has a few Asimov novels, classic texts on civil liberty and government, books on the origins of the internet, and Neil Gaiman's new "Norse Mythology"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biked NYC to Boston!

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to talk (teach, learn and share) about technology and society. I studied and worked in applied math, my parents are anthopologists (so you could say I minored in that) and have been working in/with/around tech for over half a decade... I like each of them, but I'm passionate about where they all meet together!

Interest in their stories, passions and hobbies. Conversation in English and Spanish. Recommendations of places to visit, specially in Spain.
