CURRENT MISSION

Still thinking about it thirty years later

ABOUT ME

An Asiaholic librarian living in flat full of books everywhere... Watch your step!!
As everybody here I love travelling and practising the languages I know with travellers from all over the world.
I am not a very party animal although I like going out for some drinks and specially for tapas, but in a quiet way .... unfortunately I am getting older ...

Of course dogs are more than welcomed!!

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to be nice to everybody!

A sort of karma I guess ....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to help travellers in our small city to find their right beach ( in summer because in winter it is also cold in Spain, at least for Spaniards!! ).

I have to say that my "tortilla de patatas" ( Juanjo´s tortillas )is well-known and highly praised among my friends. When coming to my flat you will have the chance to try it !!

It would be nice as well if our guest could cook some food from his country !!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great!Have already known a handful of interesting and kind people and it´s also a way of practising languages

An incredible opportunity to have friends scattered all over the world: in Singapore, Bangkok, Tokyo, London,Montreal, New York ...

Interests

Travelling, Asian cuisine, books and going to the beaches of my city to fish !!
Learning Japanese and Chinese at the moment, so Chinese and Japanese people more than welcome!
Most of money and time is spent in this order : travelling around and around and buying books so I guest these are my main interest.

If you like fishing you can join me!!

Because of my job and my University formation I have a deep knowledge of European literatures, specially Spanish, Italian and English. I can spend hours talking about it so before asking me a literary questions think about what you are going to do ( jejeje, I´m just kidding ).
