ABOUT ME

I like what I do as a living, enjoy being outdoors even if I complain about the weather sometimes :-). I do love travelling, wether in my country or abroad, knowing local people, traditions, important places, nature, and last but not least at all: FOOD! If abroad, prefer a long travel to make the most of the flight ticket, and I like to spend quality time in the places I go, therefore I do avoid planned tours where you are constatly pushed to follow a time schedule. Prefer visiting few places but staying if possible more than one day. About music I´m very fond of techno, so going to raves and technoclubs is a pleaure to me, but also like other kind of stuff like rock, a little bit of pop and discover traditional music.
Can be shy at first, tend to listen to people and have a good conversation, prefer to be in small groups.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the way you want to be treated...
A smile doesn´t cost you anything except moving some face muscles...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have experienced many times receiving friends from abroad at my place and also I´ve been received as well in others people´s houses. The best way to know a culture it´s by the local people, so I hope I can be a good host to show my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´m still amazed by the generosity of people that without knowing me have hosted me at their places just by a mutual friend´s recommendation. Life has been pretty kind with me in this matter, and I have experienced human generosity.

Interests

I like cooking (uncomplicated dishes mostly :-), eating well, walking, learning languages is one of my hobbies (eventhough currently I am not learning a new one), movies, techno and house music, traveling... and sleeping can be one my pleasures...
