About Me

Go with the flow

Relaxed and easygoing. Always looking at the positive side of things. I love travelling, moving like a nomad, discovering, learning, meeting people and sharing experiences. I live a simple life. I don't possess more than what my backpack can carry. I love nature, hiking, climbing, yoga, biogardening, adventure... I like spending time with the people that's maybe why i'm a social pedagogue, because i'm very active in different organizations and I socialize a lot. And...what else? I don't know, you will find out if we meet :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is asbsolutely great! It's the best way to get to know a place, staying with locals, they will give you the best tips and you can share so much stories, adventures, curiosities...

In 2014 i started hosting travellers when i moved to my own appartment in my city. I was always happy to show people around town and sometimes even outside town, going to the beach and mountains of Asturias, telling them about our culture and traditions and taking them to a nice Sidrería to try local drink and food.

After the experience back home, i continued couchsurfing while travelling and met wonderful people in different cities. The best way to travel and discover is with locals, sharing time together. What makes the places special is the people you meet.
