About Me

My real name is Juan Antonio Sanchez, but I can't change the nick name I put 10 years ago :D

CURRENT MISSION

To ride my bicycle 100km a day smelling fresh

ABOUT ME

I love fixing things: bikes, ovens, washing machines, any kind of broken things. Always for free, my neighbors are delighted with me :D
I love speaking with foreign people about their places and customs, if we share a beer it's perfect; so couch surfing is a good way to do it, it's like traveling at home.
I'm almost perfect, my father says that I've only one defect: I'm like my mother :D
Of course I've more defects that my father doesn't see: I never listen to the advice of others, I don't want to go out in the morning without making the bed and I have a very big nose :<)

PHILOSOPHY

If you've a picture without a t-shirt on your profile, please don't talk to me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is ready to surf. I love meeting new people from everywhere.
I love cycling abroad. Traveling by bike you're not a typical tourist and have a good chance to talk with local people. CS is the perfect complement.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met David in Madrid, he was asking for a bike at the Critical Mass bike workshop. He came to improve his spanish and we lent him an old bike for one month.
He introduced me to CS, he told me: you're going to love it :)
