Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host a lot when living in the South of Spain and London.

I've been hosted by a bunch of amazing people during a road trip through the USA West Coast, Texas and Louisiana.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I like to think I grew a little bit with every new person that I met through this amazing community. And I aim for every single one of you to be able to say the same after meeting me.

Interests

I write software for a living. I play football, tennis, paddle tennis, squash, chess. I also swim, run and cycle. I read books. A lot. Sometimes in their original version. I watch films and shows. Tons. Always in their original version. I try not to judge, as I don't like to be judged. I travel as far as my holiday and debit card let me. I love driving. I plan to learn new languages and never do it. I try to play the guitar and the piano and fail terribly. I have a white board in my living room. I take pictures. I find it very difficult to dance because I lack confidence. Sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rented an island in the Caribbean sea. I walked in the top of a Carpathian mountain. I wrote / said / did something that made other people cry / laugh. I scored an awesome goal once. I've wondered where I had my keys, being in my hand. I got lost in Istanbul. I fell in love. I'm still there.
