ABOUT ME

My name is Dominic Ghirardini. I am 29. I have two brothers and one sister. My family lives in Bellingham, WA. I live in Spain.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to suck the marrow out of life knowing this is all we've got and we're all we have; I seek to be kind, make friends and memories, see the world and make the most of the opportunities I've been blessed with. Let's go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Can't really host right now with my current set up but would love to one day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first CouchSurfing experience. I am looking forward to meeting new folks, sharing experiences, eating good food and sleeping on comfy couches.

Interests

I love hiking/backpacking/camping more than just about anything else; absolutely love getting out in the mountains, rambling, getting away from it all and out into it all, climbing peaks. The wildlife associated with mountains fascinates me.
I love to dance. Know a bit of swing and want to learn more salsa.
I like drumming and plan to join a drum group here in Palma when my Catalan class is done.
Love learning languages. Currently studying Catalan.
Really enjoy snowboarding but its been a while.
Swimming, longboarding, soccer, yoga, cooking.
