About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a free spirit, adventurer and open-minded. And, of course, I love meeting people in a multicultural atmosphere. As student of an advanced master, I don't have many free time. If you add that I practice indoor climbing a few days per week and go swimming the rest... What does this mean? I'm not much for party. If you need a guide, find one and then tell me to join, I don't know Toulouse yet! ;) But if you are just searching for somebody with whom get lost exploring the city, you've found the best one ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Fight for your believes, turn bad into good and never surrender.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think my contribution is through bringing good and fun conversation...and advice to newcomers due to my experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Language exchange meetings in Dublin, it was a great time. I really miss those meetings and the people I met there.

Interests

Many:
Adventurer: I'm a climber and mountaineer. I love practicing sport, specially adventure sports and if it's in my beloved Pyrenees, the better. Here I'm trying to go swimming and climbing each day of the week, but I also move by bike and I would like to meet people with whom visit the city and sourroundings by bike.
Culture: I must confess that I don't like museums...I've been in many, and most of the time I just got bored...I don't like paints, but I love sculpture and arquitecture. That's art for me. Also music. Hans Zimmer is a genius whose creativity hasn't been recognized enough. By the way, I love reading and getting informed about many aspects, also economics and politics, as I do believe that true freedom arrives with knowledge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It depends to whom judges that. I've enjoyed many activities during my lifetime, trips,...in English would be too long to explain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach all the subjects related to engineering, also languages, and some sports techniques. (I'm a lifeguard and before going to university I tought how to swim to kids each saturday once I finished training with the swimming team).
I would love to learn...well, many things, i just love to learn new things, although the once learned things get forgotten too fast.
