I am Antonio Fernández, a 22-year-old Spanish jolly guy currently working abroad as a Teach Assistant in Spanish at Dickinson College, PA, USA 🇺🇲. I finished my Degree in Primary School Education (as I will be a sports teacher in the future) in the University of Málaga, a southern coastal Spanish city. 2 years ago, I studied abroad for the first time the third at the Pedagogic School of Vienna, Austria, as part of a university Erasmus exchange, where I was continuing the same studies that I was doing in my country, and where I also had the best time of my life. Back in Spain, I use to live in my hometown of Marbella with my family, but since I entered in the university, I've lived with some close friends in a renting flat, which is so funny. I can also speak German, so I improved a lot of the language while my time in Vienna.
In my free time, I mainly want to enjoy life by doing lots of beautiful and engaging activities that I love, like sports (any), also family (I have one smaller brother who lives with my parents), nature, photography, traveling, music (but I don’t play much instrument) and helping people. I also work as a teddy manipulator in an animation company at events and parties, and also during summertime I am a cashier at the supermarket in my town. That´s how I get some money to spend it all across my trips!

Unfortunately, due to my situation of living abroad in a student residence, I can not host anyone at my home, but I really do apreciate the action of the hosters to welcome some random people at theirs, simply thank you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is very interesting for me to get to know more people on the way, getting to know their lifestyles, traditions in the country I am travelling to, and everything else that a short period of trip can offer. When using this website means that I´m travelling alone, because in case of travelling with a group I would rather find a hostel or something to stay with them. I will be a very polite guest, wanting to help and talk in everything my hoster needs! Also thank you for reading this before you accept/deny, it´s always better to know the person more in detail :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Spanish music such as reggaeton or latin music, but also pop and some old classics like ACDC, Queen or ABBA. I would say I have no specific best song but it goes more about the feeling of the moment. I´m not that used to read, but I am very keen on online news though, and being informed about the world situation. Furthermore, I read Sports news so often as I love all kind of sports, as already mentioned in my description.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing surprisingly awesome, but I did a solo trip through Germany for 11 days in 2023, visiting one different city per day. I didn´t trust on myself before I started the journey, then I realised I am more capable of doing things as I thought!

Teach, Learn, Share

Be how you want people to be with you

What I Can Share with Hosts

Just being welcomed in someone´s place is lovely, so I can only be grateful for that. Once in the place, I would help in everything is needed for my room or whatever he/she is doing for me, such as cleaning the dishes after lunch or dinner, tidying up or cleaning the room, of course. But as said, I am really friendly and I could get on well with everybody so quick. I would also love to talk about some good experiences in my life, at the same time as I will hear yours, so you better get the idea that you won´t be bored with me!
