About Me

I was born in Ecuador but raised in Spain. Since being young i got really interested in learning about different cultures, languages and societies. I have a bachelors degree in law and currently studing my master's degree. I would say I am person of multiple interests, starting from playing music or cooking, but at the end of the day what i really love is to sit down and talk with people, exchange ideas and see the world from other people vantage points.
I am currently travelling around south america and discovering my roots.

Nací en Ecuador pero he crecido en España. Desde pequeño tengo interés en aprender nuevos idiomas y descubrir otras culturas. Graduado en leyes y actualmente haciendo master. Podría decir que soy una persona con muchos intereses, desde tocar instrumentos hasta cocinar pero al final, lo que realmente aprecio es sentarme y tener buenas conversaciones, conocer nueva gente, intercambiar ideas y ver el mundo desde la perspectiva de otras personas.
Actualmente estoy viajando por sudamerica descubriendo mis raices

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I dont want to discover new countries by looking through my hotel's window, but by looking from other peoples eyes. For me the best way to know a country is by knowing its people. I believe Couchsurfing is a great tool for putting people in touch with each other, and whats more, allow this exchange of viewpoints about the world.

No quiero descubrir nuevos países mirando a través de la ventana de la habitación de mi hotel, sino mirando a través de los ojos de sus gentes. Para mi la mejor manera de conocer un país es conocer a sus gentes. Creo que Coushsurfing es una herramienta genial para conocer otras culturas y poder intercambiar puntos de vista sobre el mundo.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music,. We dont realize how certain songs can sometimes be like soundracks to different moments in our lifes. But in general i like all kinds of music, from hip hop to classical, everything has its moment.

For films i like any movie with the ability to trigger questions, any movie that gives me the urge to watch it again to fully understand what i saw--> call it "Interstellar" or "The Lord of the Rings"

Me encanta la música. Creo que no nos damos cuenta como a veces ciertas canciones pueden ser la banda sonora de ciertos momentos en nuestras vidas, pero en general me gustan todos los tipos de música, desde el hip hop hasta la música clásica, todo tiene su momento.
