About Me

I am a runner, hiker, cyclist, animal and nature lover, environmentalist, and selfless soul from a town near Barcelona. Small of a kind, I like to travel the world with little equipment and a pair of extra sneakers on my backpack. I have studied for four years in the United States, solo traveled Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos, toured around Island, bathed in Greenland iceberg, and gotten frostbitten in Alaska. Currently, I am interning in Australia and seeking for weekend accommodations in Tasmania, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and the tiniest municipalities and natural parks in the Southern and Eastern part of the country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

All my travels would not have been possible without the generosity of hosts and scholarship programs that have granted me opportunities and home-stays to my nomadic travels. From the extra $20 I needed -but lacked- to enter Cambodia to shelter under tents in one of the most beautiful world beaches in Puerto Rico, there are a wide range of experiences that I owe to many people that helped me in my journey. To continue it, given my low budget as a university student on grants, I am to rely on the selflessness of the human race. I hope that one day I can give back to the species all what I got from it.
