CURRENT MISSION

To get superpowers.

ABOUT ME

I am Alex, humble provincial cultural journalist in a local radio. Graduated in hispanic and gender studies. Product of Y Generation, influenced by X Generation, references of a babyboomer.

Passionated polyglot.

I am interested in literature, philosophy, learning about everything, reading, singer-songwriter, rock music, learning new languages, meeting people, and enjoying life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really want to get involved in CS project because I think it is excellent. So if I can participate with my humble means, I will do it. I am ready to make discover my city to other people, and to share what I feel about it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunatetly, my CS experience is quite weak.. I met people through a Couchsurfing group in Seville and a lot of couchsurfers from everywhere, and more people in Pontevedra, where I lived two years.
But I want to meet more and more people through CS!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To come back from Spain to France just to see my favorite group playing in Paris! Indochine = Awesomeness

To leave and to go to teach French in Spain during two years.

To give lectures about queer theory in two universities.

Teach, Learn, Share

That is what embodies my initial vocation of teacher and militant. I love to share everything. What you know and what I know.

Queer theory - politics - literature - philosophy - languages

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can't infortunately host someone in my flat: I live in a really little place. BUT I would be delighted to offer you a drink, to show you my town, to help you.

So, drop me a line :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
