About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go down the rabbit hole!

ABOUT ME

Little crazy, mostly lazy, haha. I don't know, why don't you tell me when we meet?.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that people affect each other in ways that we don't even imagine far beyond what can be our ideologies. These may pass or be replaced with the flow of time, however, we continue affecting each other in a flow of interaction. I believe in people, not ideas. I have my own personal beliefs (such as religion and so), but respect everyone else, since I understand that they are not so different. And when somethings strikes me as strange or odd, I try to broaden my mind to accept it instead of closing myself to learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to show the city when I can, and host if I'm able to. I hope I can surf and meet other countries as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since 2010 I have showed the city (which has let me learn a lot about my own culture and those of my partners). I have assisted a couple of CS meetings and it has proven to be a most remarkable experience. And finally, after some time, I was able to host a couchsurfer for the first time. It was only as an emergency couch, but the experience turned out far better than I could have dreamt of, so I hope I can host more on more from now on.

Interests

I love literature and language. I read a lot, both for work and pleasure. I like listening to music. I am interested in travelling as much as I can, and get in touch with the world and know tons of new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Moulin Rouge
Books: There are too many. I read a lot of Ancient Roman literature, and Ancient Greek too (that is, the Classics). I love William Shakespeare. But as I said there are just too many.
Music: Joaquin Sabina, Ismael Serrano, El Cuarteto de Nos, Queen, and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Free hugs: We did it once with other couchsurfers. I never really expected people to thank me, that was just amazing.

Sunrise on the rocks of La Pedrera. Caught me completely by surprise. I was all alone there, probably half drunk, don't ever remember how I got there, but suddenly the waves crashing against the rocks in which I was gazing into the ocean just gave way to this beautiful sunrise, probably most breath taking thing I've ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero" said Horace to Leuconoe. It meant something on the lines of "Seize the day as if you wouldn't trust nothing in the one to come". Apart from the pesimistic touch that can be felt on most of Horace Death poetry it stills remains one of the best piece of advice anyone could give or receive: live today!
