CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

My name is Luis and I am 26 years old. I am from Valencia, in Spain, and I live there too.

I think that I'm a friendly and open-minded person, polite and respectful. I'm responsible person, but sometimes absent-minded. I like knowing new people and cultures. People says that I'm a person confident, clear and sincere. I like learning new things and skills and living new and different situations, and I am able to learn really fast. I am used to do all the the things by myself.
Nowadays, I’m studying the Tourism degree in the University of Valencia and I also studied a computing professional formation.
I started to travel like backpacker 3 years ago, and all summer I go to a different place. I was in Ireland and Germany in many farms, exchanging work by food and accomodation, and other summers I have been travelling by hitch-hiking and CS around many countries in Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been doing CS in many different places, Strasbourg,Offenburg, Ludwigshafen, Zurich, Stuttgart, München, Nürenberg, Berlin, Amsterdam (carsurfing :D), Hannover, Ljubljana, Wien, Zilina, Bratislava, Krakow, Poprad, Kosice, Budapest and there were so nice!

I had discovered Coach Surfing last year before to start my hitchicking travel. I was doing coachsurfing in all that places. Since now, I had not the chance to offer my couch. But now that I'm living alone with my father, I've convinced him to take some people, it would be really nice!

Interests

My principal hobby is travelling. I love to travel and to know new people and cultures. I've traveled around west Europe on caravan/mobile home with my family and friends, and I have been also travelling by hitch-hiking around Europe. I've been living in Italy doing an Exchange and last 6 months I was living in Brasil, in Rio de Janeiro.
Last summer was doing a travel by hitchhiking around Germany, France, Switzerland, Check-Republic and Holland. I really love to travel like backpacker and by myself.
Recently, I have discovered the best complementary hobby for my travels. I have bought my first reflex camera, not too big because I need it light for my travels, and I am discovered a wonderful new world. This discovery was inspirated by my girlfriend, and it have changed the way I live my travels. Nowadays I am really involved on it.
Furthermore, I like very much to do sport to be fit. I like running, skating, biking, skiing, scuba diving and other high-risk sports like parachuting and bungee jumping. I also like very much trekking at the mountain.
I love the beach and the sea.
I like cinema, listening music and I am good with computers and new technologies.
