About Me

I studied engineering physics in Barcelona (Spain) and worked in a consulting company for a few years. I've always wanted to take some months off to travel but never really had the chance so a month ago I decided to quit my job to finally do it and move to Berlin afterwards. I always felt specially attracted to Brazil, I guess it's due to the language, its nature and the surfing.
About me, I may start by saying that I don't feel very comfortable describing myself although that does not mean Im not extroverted, actually Im very sociable. I consider myself a very open person and people do enjoy my company although I feel very pretentious just writing this. Im very curious and friendly, and very easy to live with. When living with other people I am very self aware, respectful and clean.
I would like to avoid making an empty vague message but I feel there is much more to a person than what you can describe with such a text. I believe anybody in the right circumstances can be anything :)
Feel free to ask anything you would like to know , please !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy being part of the idea that you can go anywhere in the world and someone altruistically will host you and share their home and life with you.

Interests

Among the things I enjoy the most doing I can name sailing, surfing, partying, learning stuff, talking about intellectually-challenging subjects and playing/listening to music. My favorite book is "Hundred years of solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and the last book I read was "Sapiens: a brief history of humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari which I really enjoyed and strongly recommend it to anybody. My favourite movie is Pulp Fiction by Tarantino and last movie I watched that I utterly enjoyed was Cold War by Pawel Pawlikowski. Lately Im quite into house/disco/techno music but to name a few well-know artists that I have never stopped listening to: Manu Chao, Bob Dylan, Chopin, Joao Gilberto, Camarón (flamenco), Al Green, any Buena Vista Social Club musician, Chet Baker, Fela Kuti, Tom Misch, Paolo Conte and Giacomo Puccini (opera)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a one month bicycle trip from Karlsruhe (Germany) to Barcelona, sleeping on a tent and camping in the forest and villages. I did it on my own when I was 20 years old, it was a satisfying adventure !
