Overview
About Me
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is one of those things that make the internet (and the world) a better place. Being able to travel and meet local people in the journey is amazing. Avoiding typical turist way of traveling and making new freinds all arround the world is the reason why I am in coachsurfing.
Interests
I always feel a bit weird talking about myself but I will try to give an accurate portrait of me. I am a International Graduate, basicaly it is a heterogeneus mixture of politics, economics, sociology, antropology, history and a long etcetera. I really love ranting about these topics with people, specially after a nice meal or while having a drink. I love ranting a about this so much that I have a podcast in spanish about it.
Couchsurfers are people from different places and backgrounds, so these types of discussions are always enriching.
Besides this I am a photographer and a nature lover, i love hikes and sleeping in the wildernes (when the weather is awful I don't like it so much to be honest).
I love art in its various forms. Cinema and music are the owners of my soul. I can't play music at all but I work for a spanish music magazine writting articles, álbum reviews and going to concerts and sharing my opinion on how they were.
Reading and writting are two of my passions. I mostly read non fiction as I think the world if full of true and pure stories and ideas. As to writting, I publish in spanish magazines (mainly) from time to time and as for now I have a bi-monthly opinion column at a media outlet called Código Público.
You'll might be wondering what I am doing working in Romania. I am here thanks to a schollarship granted by the EU under the EVS project. Here I am working at a small media organization making videos about culture and identity and directing a documentary on Hungarian indentity in Transilvania.

Music, Movies, and Books
While a do watch quite a lot of "non mainstream films" it is true that those that I love watching hundreds of times are very VERY mainstream films such as: A clockwork orange, Reservoir Dogs, The Godfather, Memento, Back to the future, Alien, Her...
My favourite book of all time (for the moment) is The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury.
And about music I do not like one specific genre, I think each genre has great bands and songs, and I even argue that it does not make much sense the genre dinstinction.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In the summer of 2015 I travelled alone to Morroco and spent there two weeks in the Atlas Mountains with a local NGO.
Swam a few meters away of a humpback whale (might be the most breathtaking experience of my life).
Teach, Learn, Share
As said before, I have knowledge on many international related topics, and I always love sharing knoledge and opinions about this.
At the same time, I am a self tought photographer, and it is always a pleasure for me to teach a bit to anyone interested.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Experiences, chats about many different topics and a cultural exchange. I can TRY (maybe not succeed) and cook some spanish food. I also love talking about cinema, photography and anything that surrounds it.
