CURRENT MISSION

To do that which must be done

ABOUT ME

31 year-old, computer engineer, married, lover of all things unknown. I like to read, but most importantly, I like to learn. I like going to the movies, to the theater, to my friend's. I liked playing sports (riding a bike, running, gym). I talk faster than I think, and I eat faster than I talk :)

In the end, it's all about the end.

Then again, I am an ever-mutating-experimental being -- or so I was told. Always learning, always changing. Well, at least in theory.

I don't like putting pictures everywhere, so I put them all here:

PHILOSOPHY

Do what is fun, avoid what is boring.
What is fun is defined by what can (or, in the best cases, should) be done by everybody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking forward to host, meet and - if I am really lucky - to get hosted!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted only a couple people so far: a german, an englishman, two girls from Cataluña (which is not Spain!). All of them were really interesting people, and they showed me a great deal of things while I toured them around. It was nice, and I definitely am looking forward to more experiences!

While I did like being cooked some foods that I will most likely never taste again - and long for it for the rest of my life -, the one thing I enjoyed the most when hosting all these people were the (as someone so eloquently put once before) engaging conversations. I love to learn things about people; what they do, and what they like. What they don't like, and why they are here. Because, in the end, even if they don't know it, it is all that matters.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most movies, really. A movie must be really bad in order to be disliked by me. Godfather is the best movie ever made, but I am interested in all movies that talk about acknoledgement (and vengeance). I wish I could be resentful and vengeful, but (un)fortunately, I am not. Tried once, but failed miserably. Maybe that's why I look for these in movies :)

I like music, I tried to play the flute (quit a while ago). I like hard rock, and I enjoy some pop-ish music. Offspring, Aerosmith, Frank Sinatra, Haydn.

I read a lot. I like reading romances (though seldomly romantic), and I keep the average reading to a book a month.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have bent the laws of physics as I saw fit. No wait, that was not me. But I did write a novel about that.

I haven't done anything amazing yet. But I hope to anytime soon.

Teach, Learn, Share

As of now, I can:
- fold clothes really fast
- eat faster than you
- teach you a couple of war strategies
- show you how to organize a voluntary work event for over 300 people
- save money and not stop doing fun sutff
