About Me

I'm fairly new to the states, so it's a great chance for making friends!

Love travelling and exploring new places; you could say I'm a bit geek and very curious by nature. Some of my hobbies are photography (travel, birds, portraits), music making and cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to meet and learn from great people that love travelling around the world. Be either in local meetings or when in a trip.

I'm open to hosting fellow surfers that want to share their experiences and have a great time, be it playing video or board games, with beer and pizza or exploring the city.

Also, I didn't join CS just to be a free hotel, so I'm more willing to accept travelers willing to interact, share their stories and spend a good time. Said that, I'm not looking to interfere in any way with your plans, and I'll make sure you leave with a big smile and a lasting friendship :)

Interests

STEM, board/video games, movies (so many movies, so little time), food (want to try some place? let's go!) , travelling (probably that's why I'm not rich :P).

Trekking, biking, I'd love to have more time to explore the endless trails USA has to offer.

Electronica, jazz, metal, rock, classical music and anything experimental, among others (borderline melomania); cultural experiences, free education.

Photography, animals, art (surrealism and cubism are my favourite) , graffiti, ancient ruins.

Talk me about something I don't know and I'll probably read a book about it. Intelligence is the greatest gift we have :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music, from EDM to Iron Maiden, from Bach to Flying Lotus.

Movies... I watch a lot of comedies and sci-fi, but often find myself binge watching the filmography of an actor or director, and I've watched Bill Murray movies more times I care to admit. Far from an expert, but apart from a few exceptions, I'll never say no to a good movie or TV series.

Books: classic literature, sci-fi and fantasy, also science and sometimes best sellers if they are interesting enough. Right now I'm reading "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Self-taught me Web development and found a job in the US.

Also organized a surprise party and it turned out it was for a person I didn't knew.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Spanish, coding, cooking, photography.

Learn: Anything you can teach me, always learning is one of the most important aspects of my life.

Share: my culture, experiences and thoughts about the universe. I'm an open book as long as we connect :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Years of adventures, amazing recipes and a meaningful friendship.

Also food, bed and anything you need. I'll make you don't need anything while here.

Mi casa es tu casa.
