First, I hate to talk about myself. Lol. I worked as a Journalist, Translator and Associate Editor for an independent media for 6 years and, for many reasons, I decided to move to China last year and teach English. It gives me the opportunity to travel in this part of the world and learn Chinese.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love to travel, meet new people and... save money, and I think couch surfing is the best way to kill these three birds with one stone.

As a host, it's also a way for me to share what I'm very thankful for: a paid for apartment with an empty guest room.

Intereses

Although I'm very sociable, I enjoy solitude, as most writers do. I love reading, writing, photography, playing guitar, watching movies and series and going to the gym. I never get bored and I really do not comprehend how someone can be bored in life; there's soooo much to do, if you gave me 72 hours in one day, I'd ask for more!

Música, películas y libros

Favorite music... I hate that question because I love music. The music I listen to depends on the mood I'm in and what I'm doing. Some days are good for Bob Marley, some for Bonobo, others for Metallica. When I'm working I have to listen to instrumental music so I love jazz, lounge and anything instrumental that's not Kenny Gish. Right now my favorite band is Hiatus Kayote, but it might not be next month...

I hate Hollywood movies... but hey, who doesn't watch that crap every once in a while? I love foreign and independent films, but I mostly enjoy original stories that surprise me. I love Tarantino and the Cohen brothers... But lately I've been watching series including House of Cards and Making a Murderer.

Books... same as music, I love reading so I don't have a favorite author. I really enjoy reading Tom Robbins and right now I'm reading the Godfather, which is just awesome.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I've been on a humanitarian boat to Palestine. Got turned around by Israeli machine guns.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach French and English, but now when I want to speak German I think in Chinese, so I guess I can teach Chinman!? I love learning new languages so I welcome language exchanges.

Please note that I'm a horrible cook and I try to eat raw vegan food as much as I can because I don't really have to cook. I'll let you cook and I'll take care of the dishes :)

When you come to my place, make yourself at home. You can make yourself tea, coffee and eat whatever's in the fridge - at your own risks.
