Current status: traveling by bike through the Mediterranean sea (Spain - Italy - Greece - Turkey - Balkans)

I'm Juanlu, a cyclist who usually works as a dentist when he settles in a city but occasionally starts a travel by bike without a return ticket.

I have just arrived from a 15-month bike trip through the Andes and the Amazon rainforest of Latin America (Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil) and have embarked on what will be my last long-term adventure bordering the mediterranean sea.

Regular reader, photography enthusiast, curious in general, lover of talks accompanied by bread, cheese and wine or some recipe made with love (now I've taken to making pizzas). Passionate about nature, about climbing mountains, hooked on its challenges and free camping accompanied by skies that are as starry as possible. I also like to go to cities and towns and stay with local people to share good times and cultural exchange.

Estado actual: viajando en bici por el mediterraneo (España - Italia - Grecia - Turquía - Balcanes)

Soy Juanlu, un ciclista que cuando se acomoda en una ciudad suele trabajar de dentista pero que de vez en cuando arranca en bici sin billete de vuelta.

Acabo de llegar de un viaje en bici por los andes y la selva amazónica de América latina de 15 meses (Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile y Brasil) y me he embarcado en lo que será mi última aventura de larga duración por el mediterráneo.

Lector regular, entusiasta de la fotografía, curioso en general, amante de las charlas acompañadas de pan, queso y vino o alguna receta hecha con amora (ahora me ha dado por hacer pizzas). Apasionado de la naturaleza, de subir montañas, enganchado a sus retos y de la acampada libre acompañado de cielos cuanto más estrellados mejor. También me gusta llegar a ciudades y pueblitos y hospedarme con gente local para compartir buenos momentos e intercambio cultural.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During the trips I have made, people have helped me a lot. I would like to give it back to the travel community, to anyone who needs a place in my city.

I love meeting people and sharing points of view, chatting a lot, exchanging opinions. The more people I meet from other places, the more I grow.
