About Me

I was born in the north of Spain, in Gijón. I have been a professional swimmer, devoting some years to train and championships: I still have one Spanish record and I have been ranked 8th of Europe!

At some point I decided to change my life so I started traveling and my Computer Science Degree in the University of Granada (south Spain). In my third year I had the opportunity of being Erasmus in Finland.

Since then I've been working and traveling all I can. I love to meet new cultures and people, any sport and new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to share my city and all the amazing places it hides. I'm always open to drink some beers and do any outdoor activities.
My motivation for being a couchsurfer is to meet locals when I'm traveling and foreigners when I'm the host. It is just great get to know other cultures and different people. Tips and advice from local people are awesome!
