CURRENT MISSION

Living the life intensive but safely.

ABOUT ME

My partner (Marta) and I are a couple of travelers from Spain who always going on trip together. We have visited 17 countries so far and we have started to use couchsurfing when we went to India last October 2012. Since then We love the idea.
My name is Bany, I'm 40 years old, I'm a Naval Architech and I work to the Spanish Maritime Administration as a surveyor. Marta is a nurse in a Hospital. He have a boy, 2 years old. We love to travel all over the world exchanging experiences with many friendly people. I'm a passion of photography and that's the main reason that moves me to travel around the world. I think that I'm a communicative, friendly, funny and outgoing man, like my partner. I really like to talk in English with our guests, while showing them the best places around. Couchsurfing is for us not a fantastic way to exchange our experience and different culture, even more usefull for us if it is in English language, because couchsurfing is also a great way to speak in other languages, not only in Spanish. Let's see what fate has in store for us!

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy, honest and not disturb anyone. Enjoy the life traveling and doing many exciting things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have already visited 17 different countries, but We have used Couchsurfing only since our last trip to India in 2012. We discovered it in August 2012 in Mumbai and since then we loved the idea. It is certainly a great way to meet very cute people as well as speaking other languages​​.

Interests

I am an active person who is always doing things. My main hobby is photographing other cultures as well as sunsets and sunrises in our travels around the world
We also love the sea and doing sports. I practice snowboarding, jogging, biking and fishing. I consider myself a pretty healthy person.
I also love to learn languages and I am sure that couchsurfing is a brilliant way to get it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The three best times that I've been lucky to live in my travels were:
1) In 2009 I was in an Islamic mosque praying toward Mecca with thousands of faithful in Turkey. It was awesome because we are not Muslims, we are Christians, and living that experience was just amazing for us. We're pretty adventurous :)
2) The most beautiful place I've ever seen was the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. I was in that country for three weeks living with Masai tribesmen and going on safari among other amazing things. In Tanzania I spent a whole afternoon sharing experiences in a Secondary School with all the students, whose had never seen a camera before. I really love African people, in my opinion the best ones in World.
3) In September 2011 we went to China. We loved the Great Wall, however the best thing of that trip was the spectacular landscapes of the south, close to Vietnan, as well as the Chinese food :)

I'm looking forward to visiting your city spots with you as well as show to you the best ones around our town/region.
