About Me

I'm not available since February 14th until February 24th.

-IN CONSTRUCTION-

PHILOSOPHY

Be tolerant to everyone except those who are not tolerant

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After a while of travelling I realized that I had enough of visiting monuments, museums, churches, etc. I mean, of course is interesting visit all of these things but the trip can get quite bored and you can see the same in internet or a history class. The best and the most enriching experiences go hand in hand with meet local people, share your time, your histories, one or two beers and enjoy the free time, for that I think that couchsurfing is a really good way!!

Interests

Architecture, art in general, photography, now I take pictures with manual settings, but if something interesting happens ... I'm late for the photo for sure.

Music, travelling of course, meeting people, experiencing different cultures, cycling. Live concerts, music festivals, anything with music. Playing music too, I´ve played the clarinet for 10 years, I have a bagpipe and a guitar too, but certainly not play really well, maybe I should have found more time for it.
Oh and did I mention music? if you are interested I have a account spotify with a lot of lists and groups

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC

Music is the food for my brain. I'd describe my main taste as "alternative". Take a lot of rock/alternative rock and electronic; mix with some jazz, bossa nova and old school hip hop.

Some of my favorite groups: Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ben Howard, Bonobo, xxyyxx, The xx, The Black Keys, The Hives, Django Django, Eric Clapton, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, (...)

MOVIES

V For Vendetta is in the top of my list!
I love the films of Wes Anderson, for their distinctive visual style and particular mood
And historical movies (like with the books): Schindler's List, The Pianist ...
Some french movies: Amélie, Intouchables

BOOKS

Now all books that I buy and read at the moment are about architecture, art and desing, career things.

But I enjoyed some books along my life, and usually not those required by school but our philosophy teacher recomended us some books, all of them brilliant. A Clockwork Orange was one of them, after I saw the film and it's cool too
I like the writer Carlos Rúiz Zafón, his book "Shadow of Wind" is my favorite.
Saga Millenium. Stieg Larsson
La Fundación. Buero Vallejo
