Hello fellow outsiders!! ๐ I'm a Spanish guy living in England since 2012. I was born in the Canaries ๐ฎ๐จ but decided to come here looking for a little bit of challenge. ************************************************************************************************************ ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ If you are requesting a couch, be sure to READ my entire profile, specially MY HOME section and the ADDITIONAL INFO and the PUBLIC TRANSIT OPTIONS detailed there๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ ************************************************************************************************************
Interested in Adventure Sports

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I can't stand not sharing. People commuting by car with 3/4 empty seats, hundreds of empty houses and flats with plenty of people looking for a place to spend a night. Hotels and Bed and Breakfast (specially in London and South England) are a rip off. It is money before people most of the time. I'm against that. So that is why I'm here, to do my utmost :) Since October 2018 I moved to my new place and I have plenty of space to share to carry on hosting and meeting travelers. In addition, I am enjoying more than expected the whole CS experience. Being able to have the company, to meet and sometimes connect with people from different places around the planet that otherwise I couldn't, it is such a good feeling. "Love thy neighbour as thyself"
Music, Movies, and Books
I'm a World Music fan. I listen and dance to almost everything and I love to explore new and unconventional music genres. I took Latin dance lessons and I love to dance to electrocumbia and tribal rhythms. I'm planning to go to Colombia to learn to dance traditional "mapale", google it ;) I find difficult to understand the people who settle for convencional and mainstream music genres... there is so much great music to explore and many tools to do it like Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Spotify, Youtube... that makes me a bit sad not to have enough time in a lifetime to listen every track that has been produced. :P At the moment I'm into Afro-Latin rhythms, Lindy Hop and Psytrance but I can go from classical to salsa as my body tells me ๐ My favourite film is "La Grande Bellezza" by Paolo Sorrentino ๐ฎ๐น My favourite book (I recently bought an ebook and I'm getting a renewed attraction for reading) is "Travesuras de la niรฑa mala" by the Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa ๐ต๐ช
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I walked up the last 170 metres of a 3718 metres high mountain with an ankle sprain, after it I went kayaking and barbecueing. Next morning in ER they put me a plaster for two weeks. I'm still able to walk ๐
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to perform CPR and how to tie a figure of eight knot... among many other things ๐
What I Can Share With Hosts
I am a talkative person, I can talk about anything with anyone and enjoy to engage in deep meaningful conversations and make the people laugh with it. I work freelance so I have plenty of time off. I am open to offers ๐ I do indoor climbing, you can join me if you fancy ๐ฉ I also love clubbing in London everytime I had a chance. I am not a party animal but sure I enjoy good music in good company ๐
My Interests
I left England last July 2017 and since then I've been traveling with my campervan all across Europe ๐ ๐ช๐บ I started driving to the Netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ and after that all the way to Croatia ๐ญ๐ท to attend to MoDem Festival. After that I visited Hungary ๐ญ๐บ for two days and from there I drove to Austria ๐ฆ๐น for a few days (and fell in love with its landscape) and Northern Italy ๐ฎ๐น (crazy stuff happened here XD). My final destination was Arco when I spend a week rockclimbing and also visited Bergamo, Verona, Portofino... I made two stops in Switzerland ๐จ๐ญ and Germany ๐ฉ๐ช to visit old friends and got back to the Netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ Last summer 2018 I went to Fusion Festival in Germany with a lovely bunch of friends and on the way back to England I spent a week in the Netherlands. Then I'm back in England ๐ฌ๐ง for a "pit stop" and to sort a few things so... I can host again! For this summer 2019 I am attending to Fusion Festival again ๐ฉ๐ช, same group of old and new friends and we will hit it again, after that I might road trip around Germany a bit and then back to the UK. What is to come next is up to you to find out ๐
