Overview
About Me
Curious, passionate, sensitive, empathetic, observer, thoughtful, contemplative, melancholic, mysterious, serious... yet humorous, funny, talkative, even euphoric sometimes... Someone you can have long conversations. I'm attracted to the unknown, obscure, gloomy, complex/odd, edgy, but also the simplicity, colorful, pure, calm and to reinterpret the already known, that's to include myself and people, not just things... they say I have alluring charm. I enjoy being alone in silence and darkness/at night (I'm a night owl) to think and wonder and get things I can't get at daytime; to understand light and being surrounded, trying to know/understand all the information coming from outside and inside me. I've always had a necessity for stoping by and think, question myself, what do I want, what I feel, why I feel it, what are my likes, worries... is to talk about nothing but my interests. I always try to get busy on that. Anything that grabs my attention is an interest. I try to give unity to all them, that's my lifestyle.
I relate and get along well with the people that really love what they do and take care of their freedom and do things by conviction.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I knew about it quite long ago. I regret not doing my Couchsurfing profile before, but a dear friend of mine "Sebastián", who happens to be a kick-ass top user and traveller (hope he gives me a review!), told me about it in 2010 when he was planning his Europe trip and was a newbie just like I'm now.

Music, Movies, and Books
"I listen to all kinds of music" - I'm a real melomaniac, but I like all things prog, avant-garde, experimental; that's my favorite approach to any music style/genre.
Tho, if you're THAT interested in music as I do, let me throw you this!
"Classical" music | Jazz (avant-garde/free/third stream, latin, nu, bebop, cool, manouche, [...] ) | Progressive rock/metal | Traditional/Folkloric (son jarocho, son cubano, tango, mambo, joropo, klezmer, flamenco, balkan, mazurek, [...] ) | No wave | Math rock | Post-rock | Post-metal / Post-black & Atmospheric black metal / Blackgaze / Doom / Sludge / Sadcore / Drone / Dark ambient | Ambient | New wave/Post-punk | Shoegaze | Indie | Dark cabaret / Steampunk | Musique concrète / Noise / Industrial / Glitch / Breakcore / Dubstep / Drum n' bass | Progressive death & Melodic death metal / Djent/Thall | Swing / Ragtime | Funk | Neo-soul / Art pop / Avant-pop | All Avant-garde / Experimental | [...]

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Maybe, a good one to tell could be about a long, long walking at the middle of the night I did once with one of my best friends "Rafael", instead of taking a taxi or something. The moment of thinking the idea "what if..." and deciding "heck, yeah, sounds cool!", stopping always to explore the terrain, going through long lonely tunnels with obscure parts, crossing high bridges (throwing stuff, waiting to hear it crash, laughing hard, being amazed of how high it was, staring at the edge, not really seeing the end... so dark -that bridge is called "the broken bridge", it did fall once-), always taking the hard way, or nonsense changes of the more efficient route, peeing on an abandoned terrain/wasteland, and in that moment a police car passing by (like, already too late to stop it... once you start you just have to finish), the relief when no fucks were given by the cops anyway, and the relief after peeing. We walked a lot more (and so, more to tell) but we eventually parted ways after the dawn.
Teach, Learn, Share
-hmmm... free music lessons!
-I enjoy to learn in general, I'm not closed to new experiences. But simply by hearing your stories/experiences I can learn a lot already.
-I can share some gems of music. I know really c00l music, you don't have an idea... Bet I have something for you.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Whatever you think I can help besides I will be so grateful already and in debt. I'm up for being just as if I was living there, not as a guest. You know, cooperate at anything, assume responsibilities and stuff and respect the way you live.
