About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to know new places, meet new people, new experiences, learn many things about infinite matters and do everything that is difficult in the daily life of my hometown.

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing guy who enjoys meeting new people, exchanging knowledge and experiences. I truly love laughing, I'm a joker, but also like when someone is kidding me. I'm very interested in other cultures, their history, way of life, and like sharing mine.

Sport is a very important part of my life, I love cycling and running in the mountains. Anyway, I'm a good party mate also. And I love beer. I just cannot stay laying, doing nothing!

As a basque speaker I am, I'm very concerned about minority languages, and help altruistically in websites and radio stations when I have some time.

PHILOSOPHY

I like learning everything that I can from everyone I meet. As a Spanish proverb says: "Knowledge does not occupy any space" (the translation might not be the best ever ^^)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Due to work, I spend 2-3 months a year abroad, but when I'm around, my door is opened for travellers. I can be a travel guide, someone to meet up for a coffee or a drink, or both things.
