About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To travel and see as many places as I can. The world is a huge place to discover!

I like visiting other countries anytime I can, but I still have so many to see! I'm originally from Basque Country in Spain but now I live in Finland.

If anybody writes to me, note that I don't visit this page much and it may be some time until I see the message.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to have as many new experiences as I can and live through different situations in my life. I don't like to stay the same way for long.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was hosted and was a host a couple of times, and I regularly attend couchsurfing meetings in Helsinki.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a couple of people in different parts of Finland. It has always been a good experience. All the people I have met through Couchsurfing are very friendly.

Interests

Travelling, languages (specially nordic/scandinavian countries) reading books and watching movies. I travel over Europe attending metal music festivals. Metal music, of course.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read lots of books, and I like fantasy like The lord of the rings or The Witcher, but also historical novels or non-fiction for example. When I find the time, I watch movies or series like Vikings, Game of thrones, Bojack Horseman, Tarantino, Kitano, Monty Python...

I spend a lot of time listening to music, which is mostly metal (specially folk, viking and black metal), and in activities related to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in the north pole (in Finnish Lapland) for half a year was the most awesome thing I've ever done. Completely different from any other place I've ever been.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to share the culture of my land, the basque country, with anyone interested. It is not very well-known, but yet really interesting. I often find people who want to learn about it.
