About Me

Hi there everyone!

We are Iñaki (25) and Janu (Malinois dog) from Navarra, Spain, and we love travelling by bike. Till the moment, we travelled for almost 4 years with Camino, my girlfriend for those 4 years, but after many travels, we decided to separate our ways and now I'll start traveling alone (with Janu), one of the things I've always wanted to do :) Janu is a very well taught, affectionate and good 1,5 year old dog.

When Camino and I were together, we prepared a looong trip that finally only arrived to Germany, but now I have the plan to continue travelling, and my first stop is Norway. I'll be in the country for 2-3 months till the cold doesn't let me to continue traveling by bike hahaha

I can consider myself quite open, fun and social. I really enjoy talking about many different topics of life in general, having a good time with travelers I find in the way, sharing experiences, playing music (I'm not expert but I can defend myself singing, with the guitar, percussion...) 😝
I love all type of food, but since last Christmas I'm vegetarian 😊

After 5 years studying Civil Engineer and Sport Sciences in the university, I finally discovered audiovisuals and I started learning on the Internet by myself all I know today and, since 6 months ago, I'm dedicating myself filming sport events, concerts, cultural events... which I enjoy so much :)
However, I also love making my personal filming projects and if I can do it mixing it with travels, soooo nice! That's why I also make little documentaries about my travels. You can see some of them on our Youtube channel "NOMADOS" and on Instagram "@nomados_"

That is a bit of our life, we are looking forward to meeting you and for you to tell us yours!

See you on the route couchsurfers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After many travels, I got tired of going countries and not relating so much with local people. Also, I'm one of those people who believe that staying in hotels is a waste of time and opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. I think the best option to travel and introduce yourself in another culture is to relate with people of that country, and that's why I think this website is a total success.

In the other part, I'll be really happy to host new people in my home if I'm there, and if I also can help you to reduce your travelling costs... much better ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to all kinds of music, despite there some kinds I would never listen alone to 😝
If I have to choose some kind... Do you know Sons of Anarchy? I think the serie is so nice, but the soundtrack (Country-style, folk, White Buffalo, Noah Gundersen, The Forest Rangers...)😍

Some kinds of music I also love are rock-pop in general, Imagine Dragons, Coldplay... You can see I don't reject anything!

¿Favourite movie? Yes, I'm one of those people who loves Tarantino, Inglorious bastards. But as he always says "The fact I like violence and blood in movies doesn't mean I like them in reality ;)"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The 2 main experiences of my life have been:
1. Six years ago, when I was 19, I took part in a reality TV show from my country, called "El Conquistador del Caribe". It was filmed in Caribe, Colombia and it was about surviving in the jungle and playing many different physic and mental games. I lost 11 kilograms in 30 days hahaha
You can have a look here :)

2. Two years ago, after the pandemic, I went with Camino to Iceland with one-way ticket, we bought two old bikes in a recycling centre and we travelled all around the country from September to November. It was our first bike trip and was incredible and extreme, really extreme hahaha

Teach, Learn, Share

As I told you above, I love both teaching and learning about all in life. For my part, I can teach you about photography, filmmaking, something of music, nutrition, sports...

Of course, I'll be delighted to cook you some Spanish dishes or we can cook together any meal :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm looking forward the day you come to my home and I cook for you some typical food from Spain.
Of course, I'll also show you my city and drink some beers together ;)
