Hi! I'm Javi,

I currently live in Guadalajara, Spain

I am a easy-going person, always up for a trip, a good conversation or whatever improvised plan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to know a place is speaking with the people living there.

I also enjoy having friends all over the world so I can invite and show them around if they ever come to visit Spain.

I am in love with rock climbing, so meeting people with the same interest to share awesome experiences would be great :)

Interests

• cooking
• alpinism
• guitar
• backpacking
• rock climbing
• neuroscience

Music, Movies, and Books

I could listen to almost any type of music: Rock, Punk, Balkan, Dub, D&B, Reggae, Singer-songwriters, Classical music, Gypsy jazz, Ska...

About films: Tarantino, Kubrick, Buñuel, Hans Weingartner, Adolfo Aristarain. And I could spend the whole day writing here films I love, but for short I will tell you that my favourite movie is Martin (Hache), by Aristarain, and Argentinian director.

Finally, about books: Hesse, Hemingway, Pio Baroja, Orwell, Sartre, Camus, Cioran, Kundera, Huxley, Palahniuk, Tolkien, Thoreau. My favourite book to the moment is Demian, by Hermann Hesse.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent my past summer holiday in a crazy non stop travel going to two music festivals, cycling the north coast of Spain to get Santiago de Compostela, surviving one week alone in the forest and travelling all around Greece and climbing Mount Olympus.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play the guitar so I can teach basics to anyone willing to learn.

I can also teach you a bit of Spanish funny or useful expressions.

And of course, as a neuroscientist I know a lot of crazy curiosities about the brain.

A day when you don't learn something new is a wasted day, so I'm always happy to learn whatever thing anyone would like to share with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting conversations about any topic you could imagine: science, philosophy, music, films, literature... whatever. Just sharing a beer in your favourite pub would be great.

I also enjoy cooking, so I would be happy to cook with you any recipe of Spanish cuisine you want to taste.

If you like climbing, of course I can offer myself as a climbing partner. I thing nothing could make me happier than climbing a little bit in every place I visit.
