About Me

Despite being generally calm and relaxed I am always trying to do new things and can't stand at home for much time, need to be active, practising sports or just chatting with friends while having a beer.
I am a telecommunication's engineer who finished his studies in Vigo. I had been doing my Master Thesis in Leuven as an Erasmus student and I am now living in A Coruña, one of the nicest cities in Spain for sure! I am working here in A Coruña in a broadband internet company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now I can finally share my flat or my couch. Besides that, I would like to interact in activites held in Coruña or surroundings, going to gigs or just having a beer with new people.

In summer, I could host you in Padrón, next to Santiago de Compostela, we have a big house there and you are welcome if you are a peregrin (or two) going there :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None until the moment. Too busy studying and training athletics. Now I make a living and can finally do what I want not worrying for studies.

Interests

I think I couldn't live without sports, I love doing sports, no matter what... In fact, I practised football for 8 years in my childhood and been doing athletics (Track&Field) for several years and I am specialized in the 800m event.
One other thing I usually like to do in order to get relaxed is being in the nature, I like walking down the forest or near the sea. I could not live far from the sea!! And sports again, I really enjoy a bike ride wherever I am!
Moreover, I like listening music so much I couldn't stay without listening to it, I think it's completely necessary for all the people!
Other interests: technology, videogames, politics...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things I've done are related to the places I've been abroad. I enjoyed so much my trip to Canada where I was studying English for almost a month and also a trip to Samara, in Russia, where I took part in a aerospacial engineering course. Russia is really different from my country, and that's something cool about going abroad
