About Me

Hehehey!

I'm an outgoing Spaniard with plenty of good friends around the globe. I started traveling when I was barely 10, and haven't really stop since.

Grew up in the center of a big city, and I could never see myself moving to the countryside, I love being surrounded by people, and don't mind either the crowds or the constant noises of the city.

That being said, I appreciate getting out of the smoke and pollution from time to time, and love without as much input as we do normally. Although Technology and tinkering is constant in my life, It isn't and shouldn't be life. Human interaction is in decay, and I'll work hard to prevent it from affecting me or the people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have great conversations, learn from all of them, and explore every place a little bit deeper.

Interests

Tinkering, languages, technology, the WORLD. And as you'll undoubtedly see if you meet me, magic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First day I was in China, I went out of the hostel to ask for drinkable water in Xi'an, and ended up invited to Chinese "White wine", where I drank for hours with the owner of a restaurant and his family.
The incredible part: None of them spoke English, I spoke ZERO Mandarin at the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe, just maybe, a couple card tricks.
