About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a 34 year old spaniard. I'm a journalist, and since 8 years ago I'm living in Bruxelles. Before I lived in some places in Spain (Zaragoza, Logroño, Pamplona, Madrid) and abroad (Southampton, London, Strasbourg...) and recently in Washington. I love travelling and reading coz these are the two main vaccines against stupidity and intolerance. I consider myself lucky coz I love my job as a journalist in Brux (very interesting there!) and, overall, coz I have great friends!! I consider myself optimistic, open minded and fun (that's what they say :)). And thanks to my work I travel often to Paris to write about exhibitions. Next challenge? Try to understand the sense of humour of the Universe.

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty, curiosity, tolerance and antiarrogance...(learn to listen to know how to speak). And dont judge people using yourself as a meassure, coz its unfair.

"Hablando con propiedad, no es la vida lo que amamos, sino el vivir".(R.L. Stevenson)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After a brief CS experience in Hungary in summer 2009, I spent a four days weekend in Stockholm. I relied on the local CS community and I spent such a great time with them there! The experience repeated in Paris, Jerusalem...Im always looking forward to give sth back to the CS community hosting some other cool people!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well...I'd like to think that nothing is amazing enough and the very big experiences are coming. Otherwise why Im still walking around? But If I would have to say sth the month that I spent travelling around Middle East (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel) and I met people like the viceprime minister of israel, the brother of the president of Estonia (a BBC senior reporter) the arabic champion of boxing, the founder of Breakind the Silence, a general of Fatah, friends from all around the world...

Teach, Learn, Share

Always ready to learn...Thigs to share (never to teach): from the stuff I write about (politics, arts...) to my hobbies (cinema, books...), streetlife. And many things more...
