About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band, if I were to chose one, is Radiohead, I also like Jazz, Chick Corea, Al di Meola (they are unclassifiable), Progressive Rock (not all of it), I like Salsa (not really a good dancer), some electronic.

A movie I loved, Contact, although not cinematographically relvevant, i liked the message (what i believe was the messsage. I like the Nouvelle Vague, especially Truffaut and Rohmer, Billy Wilder, and Polanski.

Books, I like Borges, it makes me dream, Boris Vian, Carl Sagan, and Salinger. A book I've read like 5-6 times : Tough guys don't cry, by Norman Mailer, I really enjoy it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went from Madrid to Rome by bus, and the people I met in that trip would suffice to write a saga.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I try to keep my curiosity level very high, I find valuable to get to know other point of views from people form other cultures, that helps you overcome prejudices and narrow-minded mentalitiy, I've left my country long ago, and have had many adventures, I can share that life experience, and I expect to get that in return also.
