Hi! I'm Chema, a laid back graphic designer born in Spain and raised in the Dominican Republic. I'm respectful and calm, love a smart conversation and meeting people from different cultures than mine. I try to stay positive and try to surround myself with positive-oriented people. In short, I'm all about making the best out of this short time we have to live in this planet. :)

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I recently decided to travel for 1 month every year, so couchsurfing was an obvious choice for meeting locals, experience the real version of the cities I visit, and keeping my travels within my budget.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Reggae (Roots, Dub, Dancehall) Jazz Funk Old school Hip-Hop (90's and undergorund like Madlib and MF Doom) Electronic (tech-house / techno / future house) Movies: Top 3: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Her, Synecdoche New York Genres: Utopian/Dystopian, Sci-Fi, Mind-melting plots, Silly comedies
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Saved a sea turtle from dying in captivity. Saved a river turtle from dying in a voodoo ritual/sacrifice. Surfed under the moon-light.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've taught myself graphic design, music production, surfing and pretty much everything I do. I like teaching the knowledge I've acquired, as it helps me understanding it better. I share smiles 24/7
What I Can Share With Hosts
