About Me

I am a talkative person, interested always on meeting new people, share interests, and get to know different cultures. Not much complicated, get adapted to almost everything that shows up.

Starting on october 2016 I did a round the world trip, starting in Sao Paulo, traveling all the way to patagonia and then up to mexico all by land, then flew to australia, papua new guinea, visiting sout east asia filipines, vietnam, etc.. to tailand, jumping to Bangladesh and India, and finishing in Sri Lanka and Maldives. It was an amazing expirience with so many adventures to explain, climb a 6000m mountain, got my open water certifications, visited many friends around and got to know so many people, got robbed a couple of times, lived with a tribe in PNG for some days, and a large etc.

Right now I came back to spain and living in my home town again since september 2017, but looking forward to short scapes, and definetly waiting for the next time I can get a year and do another wolrd tour.

So far, I have visited 100 countries around the world, but still 93 are remaining :) So really eager to travel more and more each time, and learn from the world and the beautiful people living in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is the perfect way to meet new people and get to know every country on a closer look, meet locals who have a better knowledge/view than travel guides or tourist seekers.

So far I couchsurfed many times, and I can not remember a single experience which was bad! :)

Interests

2 Quotes that I really like:
"I'd rather have a passport full of stamps than a house full of stuff"
"Viajar es invertir en vida"

Interested in cultures, languages, cities, countries and the whole world / people in general.

Love music, to listen and to play it.

I find nature is the best we can enjoy in the outside world, and like to go trekking, walking, mountaineering in general, and around the world is better, since there are lots of different landscapes to go see and enjoy.
