About Me

I'm Aaron, 26 years old. I'm wanderer, easygoing openminded, solidary, cheerful and kind . I have estudied a degree in Tourism and Hospitality, meantime I was working part time. When you are innocently joung you don't have the chance to choose between capitalism or freedom, that's why I had been working in fashion for the last 7 years. Tired of working hard in something that didn’t make me feel happy and feel full and tired of living the life I didn't want, I left my hometown in 2015. I started travelling around, meeting peeople from all over the world, discovering unexplored secret places, doing amazing things... Straight away I learnt how to enjoy the moment, and that's what I have been doing since then. I live the most part of the year in Spain with my parents in a really nice house located on the countryside. Whenever I full the piggy bank, I leave Spain looking for new experiecies to live, new challenges to pass and new places to discover. I love getting in touch with the natural world and being an animal lover. Since I love traveling I have the opportunity to meet people from different cultures,and it's fascinating to get to know people from totally different backgrounds and appreciate their different views of the world. Come and visit my hometown!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m in Couchsurfing because I think that travelling should be easy for everyone. Couchsurfing gives you the chance to experience a new culture from the inside and to show yours. I would offer a place for people to stay and maybe someone else will offer his/her place later, which is a nice circle of kindness.
I also want to practice our languages, cook together the tasty Spanish food and share amazing conversations about the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer unforgetable moments talking about the world, my lived experiences, good vibes, lots of laughs and more. I will help you with houseworks and any tasks required. We can cook together Spanish food and we can also exchange our languages. Spanish is currently the second language most spoken in the world after Mandarin. If you learn Spanish you would also understand a bit of Italian and Portuguese!!
