About Me

Currently, I'm not hosting anyone due to my sister is at my place right now and I have no more space. But as soon as I'll be available, I'll update it.

WHEN YOU REQUEST TO STAY WITH ME:
Could you please let me know why you chose me instead of other surfers? It's not mandatory, I'll host everybody if I can, but I'd just like to know :) Please, you should consider I'm a worker who comes from a working class family. For me, that's more important than what do you eat or how much you like to travel.

ABOUT ME
I'm a professional filmmaker and also I'm a film teacher at a small school. It means it's difficult -but not impossible- meet me up, cause I'm usually working when everybody is on holidays.

LGTB Friendly
Antifa friendly
Vegan friendly
Pet friendly

Not interesting in flirting at all, doesn't matter who or what you are.

Btw, I'm a lot of things, inclued vegan and anarchist activist.

PHILOSOPHY
Anarchism, feminism, veganism, antifa, arts, punk, beer, people...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did so many things that made me really happy! I directed and/or produced a few movies, documentaries, shorts and music videos... But probably, what makes me feel really proud of myself is being able to tell any story when is required =) I can turn any situation into a pleasent moment!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a storyteller, so I can share with you really nice stories =) Also, I can show you the best places in Galicia and surrounding provinces in here :D And when I mean the best places I do really mean THE BEST - filmmakers know so many secret spots because wefilm in really beautiful secret spots. If you like photography and video, journalism or music, this is my profesion so I can be helpful if you need it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything on my hand will be offered!!

My home is not in the center of the city, but there is a bus that can be there in 20 minutes. The good point is that I'm located a very quiet place!!

I have a double room, two single rooms, and also you can camp in my garden or even in my office -some people stayed there for one night because my home was full at that moment, and they say it's pretty ok. Also, if you are travelling by van and you just need a shower or you just wanna meet up for having a beer and discover the city with me, you can do it. I have two kitchens at home and my own orchard with peppers, tomatoes, zuchinni, beans, lettuce... Everything is 100% natural and poison free! So vegan people are so welcome and I'm pretty sure they will love it :)

Oh, and at this moment I have 3 lovely doggies. They are so friendly so don't be scared of them. They are so used to be with people and they love to play with everybody!
