San Sebastian (Spain) is my hometown, but i'm currently living in Torquay (UK) for work. I'm a happy, easy-going and open-minded person always glad to meet new people, immerse myself in new cultures and traditions and ready to travel to new places around the world as long as my responsabilities allow me to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling but sometimes I find it difficult because of accomodation high prices. Couchsurfing is a great opporunity for me to travel within my budget and I also find this opportunity so interesting because of the chance of meeting local people, which is sometimes difficult when you stay at hostels/hotels.

Interests

As everyone here, I love travelling and meeting new people. I also enjoy reading, writing, music, cinema, theatre and culture in general. I'm passionate about art, design, advertising, journalism and marketing, and I'm happy I can make a living doing what I enjoy. I have never been a big fan of countryside and sports, but I have wonderdul people around me teaching me to enjoy nature and body care, and I'm starting to like it :)

I would always recommend ‘Herois’ (a catalan film), Volver, Al sur de Granada, Star Wars, American Beauty, Amelie, Fightclub, American History X, Shutter Island, Someone flew over the cuckoo’s nest, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Dead Poets Society, Frida, An Education, El secreto de sus ojos…well, so many. I have recently watched Boyhood, Wolf of wall street and Selma and I enjoyed them a lot!

I’m also a Harry Potter kid :) and I love ‘Cien anos de soledad’ (One hundred years of solitude), La casa de los espiritus (The house of the spirits), ‘Lo que le falta al tiempo’ (What time is missing), ‘De los amores negados’ (Of Useless loves)...

Teach, Learn, Share
