Hey everyone! My name is Jose. I am a happy and curious fella who is constantly looking for new experiences and opportunities, who loves to learn about pretty much everything and enjoys doing so by traveling and meeting new people. I push myself to become a better person, always with a big smile and good contagious energy. I like to be a veeerryyy active guy (I particularly enjoy activities in water), but when I can't, I go for a good book or a nice movie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing simply rocks! It is easy to meet interesting people, it makes everything easier when you are traveling, but most importantly I think it gives the guest the possibility to get to know the culture, get a real essence of the people and the city and get good advice from someone who knows his/her way around; but also shows the host a different perspective of life, a rewarding feeling from helping someone else while getting out of the routine and learning many new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling gives you so many unforgettable experiences, and each one of them has a special meaning and a place in your memory forever. It is amazing how you can surprise yourself with more beautiful landscapes, cooler activities, and more interesting and fun people as you continue from destination to destination, and the more I say: “WOW, it can’t get better than this”, the more I discover that I couldn't have been more wrong; that uncertainty, the feeling of adventure and the excitement of what the next cool thing is going to be, fills me of joy and makes me feel alive.
