About Me

Passionate about traveling, reading (e.g. sci-fi), astronomy and science outreach, sports (e.g. climbing, running), chess (terrible player though), cultural exchange, nature (specially animals), and environmental protection.

Together with my girlfriend Zaira Pérez Ruiz, I've hosted couchsurfers in Oulu, Granada and Leeds.

"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin." (Huxley, Brave New World)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cultural exchange. Sharing life experiences. Crusading against selfishness. Getting to know people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Last movie that I loved: "Cloud Atlas". Last inspiring book: "Foundation and Empire" (Asimov). Last song that I deeply enjoyed: "The Sinister Minister" by "Béla Fleck & The Flecktones"
