ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Spanish, 27. I grew up in Madrid and now happily living in Munich-Germany since 4 years. I do a PhD in computer science and hack cool stuff. I try to create excellent things (like webpages) to bring value to people's lifes. I loooove music. I'm all day around with my big headphones, listening and dancing :) Oh, and I like wine :P
PHILOSOPHY
Life is a playground and we're merely players. Do everything that makes you/me happy, as long as we respect each other.
My purpose is to enjoy this journey and create through my work excellent and cool stuff that make people's lives better.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I jump now in couchsurfing because I want to surf in China. If I like the experience, I will gladly couch in Munich.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
None yet. Merely 1 couchsurfing party in Berlin some years ago.
Interests
music, dancing, programming, reading, deep and sincere conversations with open-minded and intelligent people about random, tabu, or philosophical stuff.
I love music. I have played a few instruments, but at a basic level. I listen and listen to lots of different styles of music, mostly rock, jazz, and electronica. And while I listen I dance! No formal training with dancing but kinda do it well :) I go to lots of gigs and live music bars.
Reading books that inspire me and from which I can learn from. Mostly biographies and essays. Last biography: Benjamin Franklin's. At the moment reading different German books to further learn the language.
And biggest interest overall: people. Wanna and gotta learn how and why people are, think, behave. I want to have fun and have great conversations over a glass of wine or some beers. I can be pretty direct and ask many personal questions. I'm curious.
