Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To decide where to live and what to do!
ABOUT ME
I'm a psychologist and teacher who loves a variety of activities from football to dance and I'm also quite a technology geek. I'm a big 90's fan, so I love my old school hip hop R&B and Rock music. I've lived in Canterbury for a year and a half now and need something fun to do! Must be the Spanish spirit, need to be out and about surrounded by people
PHILOSOPHY
I believe that people need to understand each other, and to do so we need to be honest and talk to resolve our differences.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm really easygoing and I like to meet people and share experiences, it makes everything more fun!
Once I've found somewhere to live I'll have to offer my own couch!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It's a bit weird for a bit, but you get to see how others live which is a pretty cool start, then being polite and courteous goes a long way I suppose.
I also shared a carpool ride this summer with strangers on my way to the beach for an improvised holiday. It turned out that 4/5 of us were teachers. Crazy world!
Interests
I love spending time outdoors doing any kind of activity, mostly just talking with friends sitting on a bench in a park, but here in Spain that always leads to a variety of other activities which can involve anything from making a set of bow and arrows with sticks string and bamboo to creating new sports like footvolleyball... It's amazing what you can do with some string!
I love going to live concerts even though lately I haven't managed to any (frustration!!!). Singing, dancing and procrastinanting might be my three favourite things.

Music, Movies, and Books
Knowing my music is part of knowing me: http://www.last.fm/user/dolarich
I'm not as big on books or films, but I do enjoy them.
Favourite movies: Inception, Kill Bill, The Big Lebowski and The Lion King (it was even better in theatre).
And favourite books: this is embarrassing... I really enjoyed The Da Vinci Code, The Hunger Games and Jeremy Clarkson's or Jonathan Ross's silly books. There I said it, I'm not the beest person to talk about books with as you can see.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Oh wow, let's see!
I've worked for a year in a school without pay as a teaching assistant, and I wouldn't change it for anything, children changed my life!
I'm the kind of person who gets bored terribly easily even on a night out and I love dancing so on occasions in a nightclub if I'm feeling up to it I'll jump into a group of people and do my thing. Thankfully most of the time people start clapping, if not it's a little embarrassing haha.
Oh! Yesterday I saw a lady walking her dog and her cat. The dog was on a leash and the cat just follows behind and responds to his name "Pipo" they looked like they were cat and dog best of pals, and it's really quite astonishing to see that kind of relationship.
Teach, Learn, Share
Scientists and geeks are my first choice I suppose, but hey I'm pretty open to just about anything, heck I go to the hardest pub quiz in Canterbury even though I hardly know any of the answers because I like the company
