CURRENT MISSION

100 stamps on my passport before I die!

ABOUT ME

Getting blisters on my feet, catching trains and airplanes, being completely lost in a new city, pretending to understand a map, drinking with strangers are way better than listening to a boring a professor

PHILOSOPHY

What's in store for me in the direction that I don't take? -Jack Kerouac

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

looking for hosts and looking for surfers :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing was in Sevilla during Semana Santa and my first hosting experience was with two Greek friends (really nice people) :)

Intereses

collect words and beautiful phrases from different languages (I just crumble when I encounter a beautiful word)
take photographs in monochrome
be in the company of strangers, the best story-tellers in the world
people-watching
wooden things
organize birthday surprises or any sort of surprise (seeing people surprised is just priceless)
spoken-word poetry, poetry
writing or hammering words that would explode if not unleashed
art, contemporary art
watch people get drunk (an instant show)
oceans, deserts

Música, películas y libros

I don't really fancy branding favorite on things, fondness diminishes but if something makes me crumble, if it makes me burn inside then I'm up for it.

The Beatles and U2 make me crumble
Damien Rice and Bon Iver make me burn inside
Jack Johnson makes me feel alive

I have a habit of buying books but not really finishing them. But if the book makes me crumble, then I give in until the last letter.

(Richard Linklater, Woody Allen, Wong Kar-wai, Wes Anderson)
