About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover what makes me absolutely happy so I can make of it a way of life. Some says that you'll find yourself traveling, so that's my plan A ! I've got some clues, though: Creating nice things through my skills and love my people hard.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small city from the north of Spain, and five years ago I moved to Madrid to study Graphic Design at Fine Arts university. Despite I was very sure about my true vocation, soon I realized that there was so many things to learn out there, specially from my classmates and fellows. Now I consider myself very lucky for having the chance and the needed knowledge to spend my life doing what I love the most, so I try to encourage others to take the most of their time. Never stop giving thanks to those who have helped and encouraged me, also.

PHILOSOPHY

Every person you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind.

Do what you love and you'll never work another day in your life.

Basically I want to make my days meaningful, whatever It means to travel around the world, painting a big wall or spending a night singing at home and eating pop corn with my partner.
Useful detail: I'm vegetarian, but a respectful person over all ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now I've ended my studies (until I find another thing to get crazy about) but I don't want to stop learning from people, that's why I think this could be the most rewarding experience of them all. I travelled a lot as a child with my family in the past, but I'm starting to discover by myself the many advantages of being leaded by local people, such as amazing places and even more amazing friendships. I think I'm a very thankful and responsible person so be sure I'll contribute as much as I can, from cooking to design some cool logotype !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never used this page before to find a place, although I've offered my house everytime someone has needed it, for friends, friends of a friend, or that time a few nice backpackers came all the way hitchhiking from Switzerland. Hospitality and respect are qualities that I appreciate and admire, as long as they can provide the most amazing stories.

Interests

Art in every shape and colour, comics, literature and poetry, classic horror movie creatures, the space race, animal activism, animation, veggie food, desserts, sharing wisdom, designing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a taste for every kind of music as long as it is interesting in some way or made from the heart. That means I enjoy as much a good techno set as a flamenco concert, a jungle party or a psychobilly-garage time. Hardcore and hip hop are some of my fav things to listen to.

Books: Héroes - Ray Loriga
Lolita - Nabokov
Coraline - Neil Gaiman
Ecuador - Benjamín Prado
Black Hole - Charles Burns
Isaac Asimov, Lovecraft, Lorca.

Movies: La haine, Do the right thing, La science des rêves, Funny games among others...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be pleased if I can share with anyone personal of professional advices; that's the only way to grow up properly.
Always ready to create something together, it's always funnier to start a project with someone with your interests or with completely different skills. Maybe you need a fancy animation for your band or a design for some stickers, anything that can be graphically represented !

Want to learn how to cook yummy vegetarian burgers? a few spanish recipes? We can exchange some foodie tips.

Talking about music and get freaky about it it's one of the most enjoyable things ever. There's nothing like discover rare albums that can become your next essential. Same with comics: I can recommend you more than one jewel !
