About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get out of here!!

ABOUT ME

Soy una persona de carácter tranquilo, en parte introvertida. Soy respetuoso y educado, tengo una gran curiosidad por todo lo que me rodea y siempre intento aprender cosas nuevas. Soy eficiente en lo que hago, no me gusta perder el tiempo. Soy arquitecto y semi-músico. Me gusta el arte y cocinar.

I have a relaxed character, sometimes introverted. Respect is very important to me, like education. I'm a very curious person and I always try to learn a little more every day. I don't like to lose time. I'm architect and I love music and art in general.

PHILOSOPHY

Todos los días se aprende algo nuevo. Un día sin una sonrisa es un día perdido.

A day without laughter is a day wasted.
A day without learning is a day wasted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Por ahora vivo en casa de mis padres pero en cuanto me independice el sofá lo comparto!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Es la primera vez que participo.

It's my first time in CS, when I return to spain I will offer my couch.

Interests

Me encanta la música, en especial el jazz, el arte (aunque no soy un experto), hacer deporte y la naturaleza. Por supuesto, también me encanta viajar. Cuando viajo, muchas veces me gusta no informarme previamente sobre el sitio que voy a conocer, para experimentarlo con un pensamiento sin influenciar.

JAZZ, WALK IN NATURE, TRAVEL (when I have money), KNOWLEDGE.
