About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, live, love, eat and laugh as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

Hi! It's always hard to think what to say about myself. I love photography and filmmaking as well as writing. I guess it's because I like making up new stories and make my life a bit more interesting. But then, I realised there's a world out there ready to be discovered. I got really excited about this 'couchsurfing' idea and, after a while thinking whether it was a good idea or not, here I am! I love talking to people from different places, but I never really had the time to get to know them better and learn from their cultures, so this might be a great way to do it, right?
I'm currently living in the UK working as a studio photographer and travelling around Europe (trying to fulfill that need for adventure). But my time here will soon be over and Southeast Asia is the next big step!
What else? I like riding my bike and running though I'm not good at sports.
I used to be picky with food but since I moved in to London my taste changed a bit and I'm open to new flavours.
I'm very respectful and polite and I'm more than happy to help around whenever it's needed.
I think that's all you need to know, hope you enjoyed your visit and I wish you all the best!

PHILOSOPHY

I always loved the one from The Lion King: 'Hakuna Matata'. The song says 'it's our problem-free philosophy'. And that's how we must see life. If we worry too much, we never really enjoy it. Do whatever makes YOU happy!

Music, Movies, and Books

I guess I can sum up this with three words: Into the wild. That book (and film) changed everything for me. I always dreamt of a life like that, living in and from nature.
I also love fantasy books, such as Harry Potter (yeah, I'm a fan haha) and El libro de las cosas perdidas (the book of lost things).
I'm open to any kind of music. I like listening to anything though lately I've been obsessed with indie folk.
I also enjoy watching films about anything basically. I'm quite open to any suggestion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting lost without really being lost.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy activities outdoors, like going hiking or climbing, or doing some extreme sports (if you know anything about this, then I'm in!). Also, I like learning new languages and cooking new kinds of food but I think that's obvious haha. I can teach some of the languages I know and something about photography (I must admit, it changes the way you see the world)
