About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, explore, get to know you.

ABOUT ME

Easygoing guy from Spain, working now in Berlin.

I love to travel and to move cities and have lived in Madrid, Aachen, Munich and Nice before. I have been to almost all European main cities (and many non) and as far as to Borneo (to climb Mt. Kinabalu there).

Some day I hope to be able to work from wherever I want and be on the road many more days...

PHILOSOPHY

Conversation topics: any, all kind, with humour and pleasure
Food: love all I have tried. Love to try new stuff

That's as philosophical as I feel right now :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My most active collaboration is to give CS word of mouth to my friends in Spain. Many of them didn't even know about its existence. I usually go to some meetings and many of my friends are also in CS so I meet couch surfers often.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted (and surfed at) friends of friends for years; Erasmus is all about travelling on a budget! And I must say: I enjoyed it a lot. Very positive experiences. I have even hosted CS people without me being already in. I will try to update my references ;)
Also many friends are in the community, so I regularly meet couchsurfers. So many different people, all interesting. The meetings are also fun.

Interests

Going to the nature, sports (all kind), reading, playing board games, chatting around a beer or a glass of wine, thinking about new crazy stuff to build on the internet...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done an Erasmus. It is amazing. It is life changing. In a way, like CS, it opens you the world...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: anything about computers that I can have in my head, Spanish language and culture, how to beat everybody else at Catan

Learn: anything. I just love learning new stuff.

Share: start-up culture, cooking, a new sport, a board game, philosophy
