About Me

I am a 25 year old software developer, currently living in Madrid, Spain. I really like music of (almost) any type, i play a few instruments, and love going to music festivals and concerts. I like to get outside as much as I can; I enjoy running, cycling, swimming, skiing, hiking... I love meeting new people and enjoy learning about other people's lives and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and love meeting fellow travelers. Almost all of my experiences with Couchsurfing have been awesome, whether it was surfing or hosting. Its just as fun for me to get to know a foreigner in my own city and show them around as it is for me to meet hosts abroad and experience where they live! I think its really hard to get the "real" experience of a new city without a local giving you tips and guiding you around, and I think that's what I find most useful about Couchsurfing.
