About Me

I feel a little bit uncomfortable always that I'm asked to talk about myself because I know all I can say about me is just my perception and not necessarily the reality.

But trying to be objetive:
I consider myself a very polite and well-mannered guy, empathic and easy to live together with.
I'm shy at start but social and funny (although "funny" is a relative concept) when the other person gives me enough confidence.
I love to debate about controversial topics, philosophize and interchange points of view without taboos nor filters. Sometimes my thoughts are a little bit radical but almost always I understand and respect everyone's way of thinking although I don't agree with it.
I always try to be true to reason and logic.
I'm openminded but when I've an idea clear I'm veeeeeery stubborn.

I don't like how society works these days nor the system implanted and I don't share the objectives and interests that it promove so I'm trying to live on my own way with not much success.

I love nature and the natural; I would say that I'm starting to develope a rejection to artificialism in almost every aspect of life...
To travel the world is my mean motivation to live right now; is practically the only thing that fills me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be totally honest, the first time I heard about Couchsurfing was in a travel blog where the author presented it like "a way to save money when travelling".

After registering and getting deeper, I saw that the spirit of Couchsurfing is far away from that idea, and I like it even more.

I can't deny that saving money still being an atractive part of CS for me because I'm not precisely rich and that means the most money I can save, the more travels I can do.
But to meet new people and to learn through them their's country culture is the best complement.

I think that Couchsurfing is the perfect way to maximize the experience of a travel; stay in an autochthonous house, to see how locals live... and particularly I believe that it's a propicious platform to find a type of people that seems to be scarce these days; people whom likes to share and socialize.

Interests

At this moment, the things that motivate me the most are travelling and nature photography; I would like to spend my whole life doing that.

I enjoy playing videogames and basketball, watching anime, going party... I must recognize I'm a little bit childlike hahaha! But I almost don't dedicate time to it at present.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kind of music. If the song touchs me, the style doesn't matter.
But my prefered ones are EDM, R&B and Rap/HipHop.

The same thing happens with movies; if the movie awakes something in me, the genre is the less important thing, although my favourite ones are sci-fi, fantastic and drama.

About books, they're not definitely my passion; I've read some recommended by friends and even though they were entertaining I've never found one that cautivated me.
At present I'm only interested in philosophy.
