Hi! Hope life is treating you well!

SUMMARY (for those with little time):
- Name: Daniel
- Profession: engineer (software & telecommunications) + musician.
- Passions: music, doing sport, learning new things, travelling.
- Workaway experiences so far: 1 (great!)
- Currently living in a pleasant neighborhood of Madrid.

I am musician too, however it is not my profession although sometimes I perform on stage. Playing guitars and cajon mainly; progressing on singing and keyboard playing. My cajon and vocal coaches are very good ones. Much of my music skills were self-learned with care. Versatile on music styles. Trained on cajon at Amor de Dios, which is one of the most recognized flamenco schools worldwide. Extremely interested in learning more around music and sharpen skills. You can see some photos and videos here:

Music is my main passion but I also like to do sport (hiking, cycling, football, swimming, ...), learn new things (notably in languages, techniques, technology, business, entrepreneurship, etc.) and of course, travelling.

I have travelled alone and accompanied. The nature and execution of my trips have been varied and optimal. Acquaintanes and friendships tell that I do great at their planning. I have international spirit and preference towards focusing on one area/path because it allows to discover the local offer deeply and make better connections with the places and their people. Countries already visited are listed below. Examples of such spirit:

1. I am alumni of an NGO that connects people by organizing several events that benefit students, universities and companies (at that time, 95 universities in 33 countries; being the largest student association in Europe: see www.best.eu.org). Among others, I became main organizer of a summer course in Madrid, delegate of our local group in a regional meeting abroad, team leader in touristic and social tasks and of course a teammate offering general support.

2. Connections thanks to Couchsurfing. I hope you can check some feedback (I have not renewed my subscription) in: www.couchsurfing.com/people/danielgomezlobogarcia

Summarizing, I am a creative, learning and travel person; growing in these three directions always. That's why I joined Workaway. I value my time and what I learn and experience from the exchange, so do not expect me to just being looking for a cheaper getaways or any kind of exchange.

I am open to your proposals: do not hesitate to reach out to me because I am social, empathic and flexible.

My completed Workaway experiences so far:
- Stay at big old stone&wood house close to Vitoria-Gasteiz, with wood workshop and garden. Focus on building refurbishment. Learned a few refurbishment and building techniques, plus a bit of CAD/CAM tooling and the workshop. Explored such nice region, where I enjoyed the nature around and the activities with the local people. (Dersu, please remember to register your feedback here whenever you can!)

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile!

  Alergia
  Sometimes yes, to some seasonal pollen and epithelium depending on the animal breed (with dogs and cats, not every one, it depends on the breed if the allergy bothers me or not). Antihistamine might fix me well.
