About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make possible the impossible, Keep moving forward..... to lnfinity and beyond

ABOUT ME

I'm from Spain. I was born in Barcelona. I grew up in Tudela (Navarra) and Ponferrada (Leon). Studied first engineer and then Animation in Madrid and then I just went out to discover the world.
I play the bag-pippe and the flute, and would like someday to lear the guitar or the piano.
I love to travel and see new places, but the best of it is to know new people.
I'm open-minded, patient,good listener, perfectionist and like to spend time with people. I like the change, I love to do almost all the things, but I get bored soon if I don't change... so my live is always a rush.... I'm on the game for almost anything, although some times I have to think about it (maybe too much).
I'm a dreamer...Always dreaming and always thinking how to get other people dreams come true.
I have 2 personalities, the active one and the relaxed one... and they may be both at the same time
I love the outdoors, the countryside. I prefer mountain rather than beach.
I like parties, but not all the time. For me a great party is as important as a relaxed chat with friends.
And... maybe that's not all about me, but is a begining... To know more, just ask... I never lie.

PHILOSOPHY

Dream as much as you can... but don't forget that you have to "keep moving forward" if you want it to make come true..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I don't have a couch available.... my place is too tiny here in Amsterdam. But you can always ask and will see what can be done

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing experience wherever I´ve been. All started on my first trip to the United States. Then have nice experiences in China, Hong Kong, Laos and Cambodia, Indonesia and some other places I might be forgetting. It´s wonderful to see how incredible the people in the world are, no matter where.

Interests

A lot, I may say, everything...
To start...I´m a bit geeky. Love board games, videogames, cosplay and anything related. Also like music (I prefer the kind you can sing... but it depends on the moment),movies (I love all kinds, ones are great to see, the others are just to enjoy for a time), books (I read pretty much anything that I can, but I prefer Fantasy and Science-Fiction), Travle... of course, for a time I used to dream to travel all around the world.. now, will see how far we can go), acting (I've been in a university drama group for years), dancing (well, I'm not quite good at this, but I like it).
About sports I´ve practiced some martial arts in the past like Shaolin Kung-fu, kenjustsu/iaido, kenpo and Karate.
Of course, I like drawing, sculpting and animating. I love the craft, to tell stories or just to do something beautiful or nice for people to enjoy. I also like make-up and special effects.
.... This are just some examples of things I like. And also there is a bigger list of the things I would like to do.

And sure I love meeting new people, because most of the time the fun is not to do things, but who you do them with.
