Overview
About Me
I hate describing myself, because I always think that whatever I write, it would not be what I want to say about me.
By the way, I consider myself as a shy boy in a first sight, but when you try to meet and understand me, we'll probably have a good conversation if we have interests in common.
I love to go out with friends and chat about life in general, under the sun of the South of Spain with a beer in my right hand. I'm not fan of going out at night, but along the day I'm your man. Practising sports is one of my favourite things, like padel, climbing, basketball... but I can't seat in front of a TV and whatch a match, I have to be there playing.
I enjoy movies and books, but my memory is horrible. By the way, I like to go for a walk along the beach and stop in a quite place to read something (Phillip Dick, Joseph Conrad, Sallinger, Chuck Phalaniuk, for example). I have no special directors or themes in what movies mean, but some of my favourite includes Disney, anime, good oldies of Tim Burton, and some more like Intouchables, The Help, Little Miss Sunshine, Donnie Darko, Forrest Gump. Also I'm a big fun of The Simpsons (but only seasons 1 to 10, not new no-sense-chapters).
About music, I like rock, bluses, jazz, soul but, what I really enjoy is going to concerts and see how people play. My favourite gropus/artists are Creedence, Springsteen, The Doors, Beatles, Rolling, Pearl Jam, Artick Monkeys, The Strokes, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, Ella FitzGerald, Billie Holyday, Duke Ellington, Charlie Musselwhite, Chuck Berry and so on...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on coughsurfing because I like to meet people and know about other cultures or lifestyles. I started using CS when I was living in Greece and it was a fantastic experience (in Thessaloniki and Athens), where I meet big-heart people who shared with me not only their home, but their simpathy, hapiness, friends, food and life. That experience meant to me a self growing experience and I dont't want to stop, because life is that.
Interests
I've been doing capoeira for so many years and I managed to be teacher when I was 20 years old. Now it seems so far away and I'm not as good as I was, but that's not a reason for stop doing what you love. I also like padel and I play it a lot, most of all with my brother. Recently I discovered climbing and I enjoy it very much (it's funny because I have vertigo).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I worked as lifeguard I rescued a child of death. Since then, I'm not sure if my life has a real sense, but I feel that, maybe, the life of the boy will :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm not sure if I can teach something, but I have pleanty of time to share and, like is said: "time is money" (el tiempo es un maní -Les Luthiers-).
