About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy live, to let my mind grow and have sufficient reasons to leave this world with a smile on my face.

ABOUT ME

I'm a spanish guy, born and raised in Germany, as my parents are spanish I finished up moving to Spain.
As well as most of the couchsurfers here, I consider myself open-minded, and I enjoy travelling and music. The common thing :)
I play guitar and piano, and one of my philosophies is to create things before I die and let something in this world, that's the reason why I love art and to compose/improvise music.
Normally I like all the things that don´t go on the normal path, breaking the routine, leaving the comfort zone, living different things... so, probably if you propose something stupid/ingenious/creative to do, I would say "Let's do it". It can go from partying together to just admire the beauty of a flower in nature, or just breathing.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't forget how to live.

Life is an adventure,
it's not the destination we reach that's most rewarding,
it's the journey along the way.
