About Me

I adore travelling and, apart from meeting amazing humans, I have a particular passion for outdoor sports, history and archaeology. But that's not all - I also love hiking, sleeping under the stars, yoga, gastronomy, literature, photography, diving... I'm a lover of all forms of culture and nature!

Having travelled across 37 countries, I find true joy in exchanging stories with others, having deep connections and making them laugh with my developed sense of humour! I am thrilled to speak Spanish, French and English: communication won't be an issue between us!

For me, the best way to explore new places is by immersing myself in the local culture and getting to know the people. I am a very easy-going and adaptable guy who always leaves everything clean whenever he gets invited to a house (and I do that too in my own house!). By the way, I don't smoke. :-)

Are you up for showing me around your city and sharing a delicious meal while engaging in meaningful conversation?

Let's make it happen!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I truly believe that every person has a unique story to tell, and I love nothing more than hearing those stories, sharing laughter, and spending quality time with people.

I find it fascinating to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds, as we can learn so much from each other. When I travel, I'm always on the lookout for hidden gems that are off the beaten path, and I'm eager to listen to locals and learn about their perspectives on life. If you're curious, open-minded, and looking for a genuine cultural exchange, let's connect and explore together!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Authenticity, independency (I am a digital nomad who doesn't need to be assisted and that won't be any problem at all), good conversations, wonderful time together if you are free and of course, taking care of your house as it was mine (you can read my Airbnb feedbacks)!

I’d love to share my adventures around 35 countries with you and offer you plenty of advice if you are planning to do a trip in one or some of them!
