CURRENT SITUATION: I am staying in Mallorca all August but I will not be able to host anyone, feel free to contact me to hang around and I ll show you the most beautiful places of the island! I will probably move overseas from September onwards so I will only be available to hang around Mallorca during August. If I don’t reply here contact me on Instagram! @juanthomaspons

Hi! My name is Juan. I am from Palma de Mallorca in Spain. I studied economics at UIB, here in mallorca and in Griffith Uni at Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺, where I lived for half a year. I grew up in Spain🇪🇸 but went to an english school🇬🇧 until I was 12 so I always had friends from many different cultures and I respect everyone with their own traditions and backgrounds. I love backpacking, I did it in Australia, Japan and Indonesia. Sometimes traveling alone just because the experience is so much different and exciting than traveling with friends!

I love sports, specially football and tennis, I played both during my entire life. I love to learn new languges, currently learning turkish and russian.
I also spent 4 months living in Moscow, Russia🇷🇺, so I learned a little bit of russia although not as much as I would have wished, its sooo hard! So if any russian native people want to contact me through CS and teach me more it will be more than welcomed! 🇷🇺

The last year I ve been living in Madrid 🇪🇸 attending a Masters in International Finance and working in a Hedge Fund as Risk and Portfolio Analyst. Now I am back in Palma for the month of August.

One of my personal goals is to get to know this world as much as I can and try to make it always a better place to be in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I can't stop learning culture and I love meeting new people so this app is very helpful. When I travel to other places helps me to find local people and make the experience so much better.
