About Me

I'm never really sure what I'm suppossed to write in here, since, despite loving to write, I never seem to be able to describe myself. It somehow feels awkward to do so, like you're selling yourself like a product or something and you're not really meant to say too many good or bad points and that's... hard, so... let's just chat sometime so we can actually get to know each other :'D
Also... I'm probably quite very terribly awkward at introducing myself, I'm always afraid of saying to much so I kind of just stick to a basic introduction, but bear with me. I promise it goes away after a couple of beers or replies, whatever happens first.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and I love meeting people from other places so... why not?

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost anything when it comes to music. In my playlist you can find from Mozart to the Rolling Stones, from Amorphis to Taylor Swift to Nirvana and, why not? Some Alejandro Fernandez next to Black Sabbath. Lately I'm a little obsessed with Anathema, tho, and have a soft spot for Symphonic Metal.
As for movies... ah... that's tough. From the top of my head I'd say... Trainspotting,The Lord of the Rings, Midnight in Paris, Her, Birdman, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Requiem for a dream, etc. I like almost every genre except for horror, unless you want me to sleep with blessed water and salt next to my bed.
And books... well, that's kind of impossible to choose from. There's of course the Lord of the Rings and almost anything and everything Tolkien wrote. The Time Master Trilogy by Louise Cooper and Dragonlance by Weiss and Hickman. Actually, almost anything fantasy of that kind is right up my alley. I know I said I hated horror, but in books I'm a masochist and I love The Shining by Stephen King (along with many others) as well as anything Lovecraft. I don't consider Poe to be really horror or that scary, since what it usually does is leave me feeling kind of empty, in the good way. The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of my all times favorites. Cain by Saramago, The catcher in the rye by Salinger and Pride and Prejudice by Austen are also in my favorites. And I've recently fallen in love with Shakespeare and Beckett. Wordsworth, Blake, Coleridge, Neruda, Dario and Borges are all time favorite authors. And I will forever mantain that Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo is the best thing ever written in spanish (I'm sorry, Cervantes). I... should probably stop writing about now, aye?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being born, you can't beat that.
