I'm funny, energic and a positive person.
I love to travel and meet people from all over the world.
I prefer rural places over big cities, surrounded by nature where I can hike and get lost in the woods to find myself.

I love nature photography and I'm very active on Instragram (@cristian.valls) posting pics of my trips and hikes (places and animals): https://www.instagram.com/cristian.valls/

I consider myself a naturalist. And I practice usually hiking, canyoning, via ferrata, kayaking, and other outdoor sports.

I hate routine. Traveling for me is making my life every day different and exciting. Traveling is living. And food is traveling too haha, I love to try local food from every place :D

I like specially Japan (I have been several times) and its culture & food, and I can speak some Japanese. はじめまして！

My philosoply is in one single sentence: "Mens sana in corpore sano."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have many experiences hosting and surfing as well. I really think it's a beautiful experience that makes you open your mind, exit from your confort zone, meet amazing people and know more about other cultures directly from the local people.

In esence, for me Couchsurfing means a mutual cultural exchange. The truly way to be a traveller and not a tourist.

Interests

I'm an active person and I love team sports as well as hiking and traveling with no specific and closed plans.

I also like photography, specially taking photos of nature, landscapes and animals.

On the other hand, I enjoy watching TV series, movies and anime. Also I read comics and books.

And last but not least, I like creating things coding and programming. I created several apps and websites. You can find my project on my website: https://crisvalls.com/
