About Me

I'm a sociable person and I love spending time with my family and friends. I also like meeting new people, especially foreigners. I'm a big fan of the saying, "The hope is the last to die". For me, that means it's definitely worth fighting for achieving your dreams!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In summary up, I travel a lot for work and for holidays, so it would be great to meet local people worldwide. Another point is that when I lived abroad, like in the Czech Republic, Chile and Switzerland, I liked spending time with visitors in my free time and I would like to host other couchsurfing members in my born city Córdoba.

Interests

I'm a positive and optimistic person, and I try to live that way every day. I used to play basketball, but these days I'm more into fitness and trekking. I like travelling, reading, learning new things, geopolitics, watching TV shows, learning languages and socialising with expats, family and friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd love to say that I've climbed Everest, but that's not true. For now, I've just been doing some small treks. :)

Anyway, I'm spending a lot of time working and doing my best to reach my goals. As a freelancer engineer, I started working on my own just one year ago, which is one of the dreams of my life.

I'm focusing on my business, which involves working on ropeway projects worldwide. This gives me the chance to travel a lot to new countries, mountains and beautiful spots.

Teach, Learn, Share

When I was a kid, I always wanted to become a teacher. In the end, I studied engineering, but I didn't develop that skill yet. Instead, I taught basketball to children.
Anyway, I like interacting with others a lot, as well as learning and teaching each other. We should not forget that deep listening is the key to learning anything new and to making the speaker feel good.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can HOST and MEET UP in my born city CÓRDOBA in the ANDALUSIAN region at the South of SPAIN. Anyway, if I am having free time, I could also TRAVEL and share my CAR visiting other places.
