I like to think I'm crazy in the good sense, and try to enjoy life and new things in it.
My main hobbies include playing rugby union, boardgames, lifting weights, doing castells and, nowadays, a little bit of cycling.
I work as a software developer in a small but growing startup in London; I've been here since September 2015, and love it so far. Before that, I've lived in my hometown Bilbao and Barcelona.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, learning from them and sharing my interests with them.

I've been most active in social gatherings; I used to attend the CS weekly Thursday drinks regularly back in Bilbao, and when traveling I've found the CS meetings to be a great way of knowing locals and spending a fun afternoon, and the biyearly Bilbao Meeting Mundiala is something not to be missed :)

But I've also hosted and been hosted by great people. If it wasn't for Corine, I would still only know Bruges and not Gent (what a mistake!), and I wouldn't have seen Verdicio if it wasn't for Alejandra.
