About Me

I come from the nice, exciting and noisy city of Madrid and I live since a couple of years in what it is probably the coolest city in Europe at the moment. Berlin made me even forget the sunny spanish days! I studied Marketing and Sales in my home town and after some time working there I realized I wanted new challenges, and I can tell you that the German language is a big one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love to travel, meeting new people and practicing languages.

Interests

Sports (climbing, scuba diving, skiing... and for sure in a couple of months kitesurfing since some friends go every weekend to the Baltic See and made me really jelaous:))
Photography (Elliot Erwitt, Robert Capa...)
Cooking (since recently, I'm not good at all yet)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any kind of music but tecno and reggaeton, for example: the Rolling Stones, Mariza, Juan Luis Guerra, Fito y Fitipaldis, Vicente Amigo, Louis Attaque, Fettes Brot...
I must say it, Jurasic Park is probably the movie I enjoyed the most. Recently I liked very much; any movie from Sam Mendes, The third man, Buried, Gran Torino, Tesis, The Constant Gardener, Cidade de Deus.
Books: The old man and the see, Cinco horas con Mario, El paraíso en la otra esquina, Berlin Alexanderplatz, Russendisko...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Setting up a Photography workshop for kids and teenagers in a little village near Durban in South Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach Spanish, photography, Photoshop, Final Cut, Sony Vegas, a couple of spanish specialities (Spanish omelette, croquetas, pimientos rellenos, sangría...), balloon figures...

I want to improve my german as much as I can and I would like to refresh my english which is quite asleep since I learn German.
