PHILOSOPHY

Giving the world the best, and also getting the best from it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I'm trying to have my first couch surfing experience in this network. But I have travelled staying in homes of people that I barely met in Spain and Portugal, and also I have had in my UK home friends of friends that didn't know me before. Maybe that made me a couch surfer isn't it?

Interests

I love museums, I work in them and thats why I moved to London to study and have a life changing experience. I love to travel, to laugh, to talk, to dance, listen to music, to read, to have a day in a park seeing nature and eating a sandwich. I also love to hang out with my friends to any place from museums, to philharmonic orchestra concerts, or to have a beer or a hamburger.
In a few words, I love life and all that comes with it! Making an engaging life is try to enjoy it no matter what.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books about artists and history of art, sometimes children literature...yes...like Momo, the never ending story, or Harry Potter.

About movies I like comedies and science-fi movies...or some movies about historical moments or historical characters.

And last but not least, I love a lot of genders of music, I sing and I also play the guitar (well I try to do the best I can but I'm not a pro). Latin music are part of my roots and I always need a bit of that, I love pop music, rock, blues, and everything that can make my mood happier.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trying to choose one place is imposible. But, being in the desert for the first time was speechless, or having an experience of leaving in a country with seasons and where the sun is setting a different times through out the year is very different. Also seeing a flatmate from Japan cooking a crab alive was weird and new. So at the end, every day you can be amaze by the most simple things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lot about museums, cultural heritage, and restoration of art. Also spanish.
I'm open to learn everything I can, but if you teach me to cook, that would be awesome.
