About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my life and be happy trying to fix a bit this crazy world plenty of nice people

ABOUT ME

I am a nice guy interested in learning everyday! I think I am calm but I do like adventures and my funny mood is always there! I am open minded so I like to meet new people once in a while and getting the most of that.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live in an ethical way. To me, EQUITY is a basic principle! So far, Positive Psychology and Emotional Intelligence have became very important to cope silly daily things, and so being happier!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love travel, unfortunately I couldn´t do it that much so I am looking forward to exploring the world! I am also interested in hosting people in order to discover my own place from new perspectives and also new sights in the gorgeous Galicia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During my exchanging program at University my flatmate hosted a couple of times and I really enjoyed the experience. I´ve met some CH to practice languages and hang out.

Interests

I am very keen on healthy lifestyles, which include taking care of our mother Earth! Related to this the Organic-Bio movement is also really interesting.
I like sports, if I can take an active role! Basketball, Volleyball, hiking and Running are among my favourites.
Education and Psychology, due to my degrees, also interest me a lot!
I like a lot go to the theater, to a concert or any other cultural adventure!
In general: travel, culture, news, literature, music

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading, however, I haven´t read that much books! I like novels a lot, better if they aren´t too thicker.
Nowadays I listen to the radio a lot, so the music I listen to varies a lot: Rock, Indie, Pop, Reggae, Bossa nova...
I like all kind of movies, but I avoid watching horror ones as I get terrified and a bit paranoid afterwards. Besides I can´t stand the typical American comedy or dramas with that kind of "The Scream of Munch" soundtrack.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am lucky to have got a huge family! I do love our get-togethers through the year! In addition, being a village boy lets me have a valuable knowledge that I really appreciate.

My exchanging program in Finland: included living with my 5 flatmates form Japan, China, France, Germany and Ukraine; visiting Sweden, Estonia, Russia and Santa Claus Village!

Youth in Action program (1 week length) to Cyprus and Poland

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can teach nice stories about my region and its rich culture! Besides, I am willing to share my keys for trying to live in a more healthy and "organic" way! I do have a lot of theories and dreams about how the world could work better!

I would say I still have a lot to learn! From people experiences and thoughts one can get valuable hits to improve ones own life. In addition, It is really nice have the chance to chat about different subjects and fields that one isn´t an expert!

I am willing to share a good mood and a smile! If you ad to this some tea, coffee or chocolate: heaven!
