About Me

I am a Nature lover and a traveler. I try to spend all my freetime in the outdoor. My parents used to take me to the mountain since I was a little little kid and I've kept this habit as I've grown older and nowadays I'm a volunteer instructor in a mountaneering club for kids. My goal is to make them passionate for the mountain.
I also enjoy skiing in the backcountry!
I have a really special connection with the sea and I Do love Sailing, it always puts a smile on my face. Both the mountain and the sea are healing environtments for me.
I am currently finishing my Masters degree in Industrial Engineering and I combine my studies with part time jobs to earn some money and spend it traveling!
I also define myself as a newborn camper, as I've had a California camper van for over a year that has made me discover this new style with great experiences :)
I belive that with more RESPECT the world would be a better place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to be part of the experience of sharing. CS can put this experience to a serious level, opening your house to a complete stranger makes it BIG on both sides. As I said, I belive that Respect would heal a lot of wounds this society has and I am looking new ways to put it in practice.
I belive that CS allows you to connect with people with a point of view different from the majority.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am an old style fan, I don't have a vast musical culture but I feel it puts the touch in your life! the more I'm growing the less I like all the commercial music. The most amazing concert I've been in is when Muse came to Barcelona to present their album.
My favourite books are the autobiographies from solo-sailors that were the firsts to attempted big things like the first solo circunnavigation without stops, or the diaries of James Cook.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've ever done was making one of my big dreams come true when I sailed for over a year around the world. I was part of Beatoo's crew, my cousin, me and two other people set the boat and left form the coast of Spain to the Caribbean, across the Panama Canal and then all the way down to Australia. We sailed the Great Barrier up to the North Coast of Australia and then up to Bali, Indonesia, where we hopped of the boat. It was, by far, the best experience we could ever have.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a constant learner, I'm a curious person, trying to understand how things work. I like to observe and listen but also to talk if I have a good listener on front.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything. I have a humble feeling when someone opens his or her door to me. The one thing I can do in return is to share everything I have, either if its a loaf of bread or a good conversation.
I like cooking and I make a morethandecent spanish omelet ;)
