Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meeting people to talk in english (or spanish, if you need to), and don't lose touch with the language never.
ABOUT ME
I'm a twenty six years old boy, with great curiosity for almost everything... I'd like to consider myself like someone friendly, restless and talkative.
My main passions are music, going to all kind of gigs & festivals, watching movies & series, reading, writing... And recently I discovered what it looks like a new hobby for me: the photography (although now I'm a complete beginner, I must add).
I'm studying English, because I do love it, and is my first reason to be here. However, I like languages in general, and English is my first goal, but lately I started to flirting with French on my own in small free times. And of course I'd like to learn others, such as Italian, Portuguese, German...
PHILOSOPHY
Treat people the way you want to be treated.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm totally new here, and currently I can't host anyone, but I'd love to meet people in my city, hanging out, showing the city... And also to have these experiences during my trips if I have the opportunity.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Recently I returned from Belgium. I went there for the third time, and the reason was to repeat in my favourite music festival for the second time. The night before we go to the town where the festival was, my friend (who already have an account in CS) dated a very nice Belgian girl to show us the Brussels night for young travelers... So she decided to bring us to a CS meeting somewhere, where we hang out with people from Italy, Colombia, France... You know, an ordinary history I guess... But I was delighted with that night, so I promised myself to create me an CS account at my return.
It's not the one... But my best until now. I already have had some good experiences of people who came to a CS meeting in the same pub or house where I was... So I want to know all of this first hand for myself!

Music, Movies, and Books
Wow... That's a tough one. I can stay here writing for hours and hours... To be brief I'll give you an idea of every theme
Music: Rock, Punk, Hardcore, Metal, Blues, Jazz, Surf, Country, Folk, Pop, Ska, Reggae... And all his subgenres, to sum up. Some bands I love are Metallica, Millencolin, Rise Against, Bad Religion, Oasis, The Beatles, The Gaslight Anthem, Frank Turner, Foo Fighters, Johnny Cash... And better I stop here.
Movies: Mostly all genres. I enjoy the movies of Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Brian De Palma, Joel & Ethan Coen, Clint Eastwood, David Fincher, Tim Burton, Sergio Leone, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Kevin Smith, Michael Moore, Guillermo Del Toro, Peter Jackson, Alejandro Amenábar... To put some examples of movies I love I'd say Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Mystic River, The Fight Club, Goodfellas, Forrest Gump, Amelie, The Butterfly Effect, The Eternal Sunshine On The Spotless Mind, Crash, Seven... And the same as before, we need to end here for now.
Books: Although I try to read everything that fall into my hands, I have my preferences. Authors I'm used to enjoy everytime I open one of their books are Hermann Hesse, J.D. Salinger, Charles Dickens, Charles Bukowski, H.P. Lovecraft, Terry Pratchett, J.R.R. Tolkien, Stephen King, Mark Twain, Jules Verne, Edgar Wallace, Eduardo Mendoza, Gabriel García Marquéz. My favourite books are The Catcher In The Rye (Salinger), Steppenwolf & Demian (Hesse), Ham On Rye (Bukowski), The Lord Of The Rings (Tolkien) or Reaper Man (Pratchett).
