Overview
About Me
Hi! I'm from a small town in north east Spain, when I was 18 years old I moved to Barcelona for four years to study Material Science. After that I took a gap year in London working in bars and travelling as much as I could with the money I saved. I ended up spending three months in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and New Zealand. Best trip ever, I learned so much leaving Europe and travelling to other countries, while meeting people from different cultures :D. My current stop? Netherlands. I am now working on a Solar Energy company, trying to save the world, and travelling it at the same time... Malaysia, US, Mauritius... are some of my recent destinations. Better with locals :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Travelling for three months in Thailand made me realise how much I love meeting travellers & local people, who are usually very friendly, open-minded and with who you can spend lots of great times and fun :) plus they can tell you about the place in a deeper way than tourist guides do!
Also I feel very proud when somebody from another country comes to mine and I can show them the very best of it!
Interests
I like to play football, waterpolo and chess. But what I like the most is drinking beer next to my friends or next to random people I just met! :)

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm quite a rock fan but I like almost all kind of music. About the books, I just finished "100 years of loneliness", by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. 100% would recommend.
Update: 12 years of a slave is even better
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Once I completed a half marathon race with no training at all. 1h 49' was my record :)
Teach, Learn, Share
My motto:
"In the end you only regret the things you didn't do"
of course that can lead to some shortage of money hahahah
Update: New motto: "Practice mindfulness"
Also "Less is more :)"
What I Can Share with Hosts
My house, my friends, my little wisdom and culture, my smiley face and my willing of having fun times. And of course my beers.
