Overview
About Me
Spaniard "tramping" the Te Araroa (South Island)!
After finishing university in The Netherlands (Groningen), I got tired of Dutch flatness and decided to hike your beautiful country :)
I have lived in 4 different countries, so I find it very easy to meet people from different cultures and backgrounds.
Looking forward to getting to know kiwi culture!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think CS gives everyone the chance to be more than a standard tourist because you get to know real locals and you learn from them as they learn from you. I like to think of CS as a cultural exchange rather than a website where you can find somewhere to sleep
Interests
I have a degree in Astrophysics and Philospophy from the University of Groningen, so I'm always down for a nerdy conversation :)
I love outdoors, especially hiking and skiing.
I also enjoy cooking any kinds of food (I'm vegetarian).
I play guitar and banjo, but I'm not good at playing neither of them.
Music, Movies, and Books
-MUSIC: I LOVE MUSIC. I'm a compulsive music listener. Some of my favourite artists: Tallest Man on Earth, The Strokes, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Tame Impala, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, Bob Marley, Nas, Jay Z, Jamie XX, Disclosure...
BOOKS: My favourites books are Cosmos (Carl Sagan), One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel García Márquez) and Animal Farm (George Orwell).
MOVIES: Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, X-Men, The Lord of The Rings, Land and Freedom.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Finishing two degrees without losing my mind.
Teach, Learn, Share
