CURRENT MISSION --
Very happy to open my house again to guests and new friends from around the globe!

Last November-December I had the chance to travel in South America and find again the joy of connecting with local people through CouchSurfing. I would really like to get back in the community and have the chance to host back, connecting with new friends from all over the world and keeping the traveling flame alive inside of me.

An intense study-abroad year in Singapore and other travel experiences in India, Nepal, South America..., opened me to the world and its incredible diversity of peoples and cultures. I am proud to say Im in love with the world. CouchSurfing was a fundamental element of that journey and I would love to keep meeting new people and new cultures, whether hosting or being hosted.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
Hello there! I am Javi, originally from Madrid, Spain. I have studied and lived one year in Singapore, traveled a lot, then back for a while, and then relocated to Zurich, Switzerland. Originally came for studying, but stayed due to the wonderful people, mountains, and work I have here. Wanderlust and love of the world will always be there inside of me - but is also super nice to have a place to come back to that you love ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sightseeing some spots and feeling the place may be great, but what makes traveling special is the people you meet in your way. So, if you happen to receive a request from me, it is because I love your profile and I really want to meet you and share a bit of our lives and experiences.

When back home, being a host or meet up with other couchsurfers gives you the opportunity of both give something in return to the community and to travel through these people trips. And making more friends, of course.

Interests

Me encanta comer, aprender e ir a la montaña!

Pero, en general, me encantan las personas y tú en concreto (si te he escrito), por lo tanto me interesa cualquier cosa que a tí te interese, así que me encantaría formar parte de tus planes, hobbies e intereses durante el tiempo que compartamos :)

• hiking
• travelling
• local food
• tramping
• mountain hiking
• local people

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Usually go for good ol' rock bands (Queen, Supertramp, Pink Floyd) and classical music, but recently life has shown me the pleasures of techno as well haha. And I very much enjoy latin music for dancing or simply vibing :)

Movies: curious in general - movies take us to different realities and lifes, it is sort of like traveling.

Books: very much into fantasy books (Rothfuss, Sanderson, GRRMartin), some scifi, and quite some sociology / economics / anthropology / self-development books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being alive is amazing in itself!

But, if I have to choose one, that is my one month hiking on my own in NZ mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn every little detail about local traditions, culture, different things of thinkings and doing things... So be sure I am interested in you. About me, I can give you loads of good mood and some stories of my trips (if you want to hear them), and maybe some curious facts I have read somewhere.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer good mood and joy, my traveling stories, my passion for food and hiking, and a little bit of nerdy stuff and random facts ;)
