Currently living and working in Bilbao.

I like taking my time to get to know the city. I would love it if I could live for several months or a year in a country that has nothing to do with the previous one each time.

Personality-wise I'm a little bit introverted (e.g. I don't like big groups of people; I'm terrified of the terms "crew" or "squad"). Also, I'd rather have a nice conversation at a bar instead of going into a club.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in meeting people from different backgrounds and seeing the world. For now, please bring the world to my house, surfers!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once went for a walk around Bordeaux in my pijamas. I've held hands and kissed my (ex)girlfriend in Russia. I've had the privilege of meeting extraordinary people such as John Cleese, James Rhodes, Tom Sharpe, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I published a book with my dad while I was in high school about humor and soft revenge against bullying. I lived in Riga even though I didn't speak a word of Latvian. I have started hosting and it makes me feel better, like less capitalist :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a native speaker I'll be pleased to teach some Spanish and/or practice speaking. I can also give film recommendations and buy a bottle of good wine and cheese for us to share.
