ABOUT ME:

I´m a passionate spanish photographer (instagram: @cdpdiez) born in Madrid but with a half of Andalusian's soul because I was living in Cádiz (south of my country) for almost 16 years.

Travelling is not only about shooting photography , something that I really enjoy, but to try by myself other experiences, challenges ahead and expands my mind as much as possible in the knowledge of new cultures and diferent points of view which can help me to improve as a person. I consider Couchsurfing an important skill to get on with the contribution of people from diferent countries they are able to share with me.

Describe myself is not easy.
Well...I have to recognize that although some people (usually) think that I look a bit serious initially once they know me later in a close distance they say that I'm a joker and affectionate guy so I suposse it is a kind of shyness...

In short; what I wish is travelling and discovering new countries and their cultures but also, and the most important, meet up with people with the same positive interest.....get connections!.
Im very interesed in anthropology and sociology as well. Willying of look for interesting histories to shoot with my camera.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To give hand for help to people who want to learn photography, to meet some interesting new friends around the world, to learn new things from they and teach them things I know. To enjoy showing my culture cooking for you or simply... to see and experience new customs in order to enrich my life from new perspectives.
