About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Conocer el mundo

ABOUT ME

Dont feel quite comfortable talking about myself, but anyway.. i like knowing new things, people, places. I consider myself an honest person whose mayor passion is searching for new things. Dont know how does it sound, but i always liked finding my own explanation for the things.

PHILOSOPHY

La vida puede ser maravillosa! Andrés Montes, tienes toda la razón del mundo.
Life can be marvellous!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some very interesting people!

Interests

I mostly like stories, reading them or creating my own ones. Thats why i like literature so much, apart from music and cinema. I am also a language-freak: i like studying foreign languages, although i am capable of speaking just a bunch of them. But im trying ;=) I like art, painting and architecture basically. While i was in Spain i discovered that i also enjoy photography, which i now consider as a brand new interest of mine. And last but not least, i really like comic books, like Disney, Goscinny et Yderzo and Morris. Lately i discovered the serie of Blake and Mortimer, some of their albums are trully great.

Music, Movies, and Books

Is the place here limited? because if it is, i dont know if i can give a complete answer. Allright, lets go then... Music first: mostly greek music (Manos Loizos is the top of the top) but also classical and several foreign groups and artists like Hughes de Courson, my favourite lately. I really enjoy instrumental music, i believe it can be extremely moving. Talking about cinema, i really like spanish cinema (sí, amigos, no infravaloréis tanto el cine español!) and of course the greek cinema of the 60s. The "Dead Poets Society" is 1 of my favourite films, although i know it sounds a bit cliché. The "motorcycle diaries" i think its also a great film, or "Master and Commander". And what to say about books... if only i had enough time to read all the things i´ve planed to. I like reading history, modern history especially. And some of my preferred writers: Kazantzakis, Karagatsis, Myribilis, Kafka, Cervantes, Douglas Adams and so many others
