About Me

Hello friends!

I'm a cheerful Spaniard currently traveling the world to investigate what Digital Social Innovation is! I'm slowly but surely building a blog called Tech4Humans, where I interview the thinkers, the makers and the users of new technologies that help people live better lives.

Before embarking on my trip this September, I was working in London as a writer for technology startups. Prior to that, I was a journalism student in Madrid (Spain).

About me, I'm an easy-going person who loves equally a good laugh and a deep conversation. Always curious about different cultures, values, and ways to see life! I'm very respectful of others' views, timings, and spaces and willing to make connections that last!

On my day-to-day, I spend a lot of time on my computer due to work, but I don't forgive daily walks, weekly sessions of outdoor sports and watching the stars when I'm lucky to be away from a city!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe in the sharing economy, where good people make what is theirs available to the wider community. Also, I love the idea of travelling to a new place and staying with a local with whom to have a genuine cultural exchange.

Interests

My main interest is to learn! To learn about the world on books. To learn about people through my travels. To learn about my own limits by pushing them! Dancing, I love. Eating, I really love. Debating. Oh, you got me there, I love it! Sports, yes! Chilling, definitely!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a bit of a classic geek when it comes to films. I love everything that is Black & White. Hitchcock, Bergman, Billy Wilder...

Books-wise, it's been a while since I last picked a novel. The latest books on my shelf have been Sapiens, a brief history of humankind, Britain by Bike (a book about a young guy who went on a bike tour through the UK), and The Essential Jung.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing I am about to do is to quit my job as a technology marketer and to pursue my dream of traveling the world to find socially-minded entrepreneurs!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know my way around digital marketing, so I'd be really happy to help out with that! My specialty is content, so I can give you advice on blogging, social media, content marketing, and email marketing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation, for sure! Tips about where to go in Spain. Thoughts about London's crazy life. Advice on tech gear. A good meal!
