My name is Izar (means “star” in Basque), I am 28, from Bilbao, Spain.
I’ve also lived in the UK, the US, Bali and now I’m in Switzerland.
I usually travel with HelpX (which is similar to Workaway) and that helped me a lot to being able to live in different countries. I don’t like just visiting the tourist places but to meet local people and do things with them.
I read once that the key in life is to have many different lifes!
I had my Spanish life, my English life, American life, Balinese life, a farmer life in a ranch with 30 horses in Alsace and now discovering Switzerland and the countries around.
When I travel for shorter periods I love using Couchsurfing since I think is the best way to get to know a place.
I feel like everyone here shares something in common that gets us closer, kindness, faithfulness and the love for meeting real people and discovering new places!
When volunteering around the world I usually do it taking care of animals, I have a strong love with them all!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said, I love traveling and I have been a long time traveling to many countries. However I think that where you really get to know a country is by meeting the locals

Interests

I like photography a lot, I like taking pictures as much as I like editing them. I like capuccinos with lots of foam. I also like everything related to the sea. Snorkeling, Scuba, sailing on a boat, although I don't get to do much of that. I listen all kinds of music, from Goa to organic techno or Reggae. By the way I love dancing. I also like to hear people talk about their trips, there is always something you learn when you do that.
