About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Is it necessary have one? I'm just trying to live the moment

ABOUT ME

I never get tired about traveling or reading (I even find not differences between these two actions though). I traveled in many different ways (alone, with people, with and without objectives...), and after all this wanderings and living in different countries, now I'm coming back to my hometown, Madrid. I guess I'm quite relaxed and easy going person. I like music, food and many other things except routine (even if sometimes I need it) I think you can discovered many things just opening your eyes and watching the things you have around...

PHILOSOPHY

Maybe is a cliche, but I think the way is more important to the final destination.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the moment I'm not available because I share house.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Quite good for the moment.

Interests

Movies, books, music, art, sports... I also like the nature, maybe because I'm living in a huge city. I like going out and meeting people, talking and trying to understand the world we are living in, even if sometimes seems impossible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Films: Haneke, Almodovar, Fellini, Antonioni, Buñuel, Hitchcock...
Music: Mainly pop/rock in Spanish and English, but even jazz (Avishai Cohen, Herbie Hanckok...) world music (Salif Keita, Amadou et Mariam...)
Books: I was shocked when I read Borges for the first time. I read mainly writers in Spanish. And also Orhan Pamuk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many. I usually write them in the blog https://hombrerrante.com/ (in Spanish)
