About Me

I'm an open-minded person. Interested in surfing, writing, mindfulness, music, and any new adventure. I have lived in 3 countries getting the most enriching personal experience to grow. I am passionate about economics and good-long-spark talks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new in the Couchsurfing community in 2020 mainly because I need to go to Bilbao and sort out some bureaucratic paperwork in the DGT office- basically, I need to swap my driver's license.

But to be honest, I never could give a try the Couchsurfing community because I never had the chance to travel around in a safe and comfortable space area like Europe. But all that has changed in the last couple of years as I had worked in a surf- hostel in Tenerife getting beautiful memories.

That opportunity makes me be in touch with the backpacking and surfing vibe for so long that I had decided to appeal to this community in the future as soon as I start to travel out. Unfortunately, this paperwork thing has obligated me to appeal first to you than my travel plans. Hope to find someone willing to host me so I can sort this thing out.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a devoted fan of 60s rock and blues bands, especially of the Beatles and BB King. But my music taste has evolved too much nowadays. So I would just say that I hear many many things.

Movies? I have a guilty pleasure for Kung fu movies, but I give a considerable chunk of my free time to watch any movie well-ranked by the critics, just to do an appreciation exercise. Although, most of the time it is possible that I might not get the film.

About books, my taste embraces different topics, but I'd say that most of my reading time is occupied by non-fictional books. Nowadays, my top recommendation is Sapiens by Yuval Harari, if you haven't read it and have a curiosity of knowing how mankind thrived regardless of other human-species, you should do it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Encourage one friend to do a drawing-healing-workshop in a surf hostel that turned out to be a success for everybody, including her as a teacher.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish or English to anyone interested. Also, I'd like to share the typical food of my country. Like Arepas for example.
