Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am looking for your view of that part of the world you´re living in.
Music, Movies, and Books
In constant change, but: American Gods or the Sandman series by N. Gaiman (basically, anything that this man has written - I love it), Lord of the Rings, 1984... I am into sci-fi and fantasy more than realistic/thriller kind of stories, but I am open to good recommendations in any sense. Also, romantic comedies and superhero movies are usually my Netflix choices. I use them for relaxing and not thinking. If I have to go to the cinema, I would choose the alternative or sci-fi films, in their original language if possible. About music, I prefer rock, but my playlist are quite random - so let's say, I like almost all kind of music. At least, I will give it a try.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I've done improv theater in English - which is not my mother tongue. I have kayaked for 21km in a river with almost no water at some points. I have tried lots of sports: surfing, diving, boxing, rugby... As long as It seems fun, I will try anything! I have harvest almonds / cherries / berries (yummi) in my uncle's field. My family comes from a wine-producing region, so I used to pick grapes too :) I have killed 49 drown priests to become a red priest myself, thus changing the history of the Iron Islands and Westeros forever. (During a RPG paper based campaign! In real life I am quite peaceful).
Teach, Learn, Share
We´ll find out through a long talk :) Maybe over a Belgian Beer? However, I can teach you: - Spanish (duh!) - My family' vegan carrot cake recipe. - My own custom-made cake recipe. - How to choose a Spanish wine just from the fanciness of the label. I am planning on learning about art, architecture, harmonica playing, politics, science, taxes (boring but useful!), and above all, other people's lifes and experiences.
What I Can Share With Hosts
My own experiences, and my favourite places of Brussels. Also, Madrid and La Mancha stories. And EU-backpacking ones too!
