COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In English I often host people in my appartement. When i travel, i like to be hosted by CS. I think that's the best way to know how people really liveEn EspanolA menudo albergo couchsurfers en mi piso. Cuando viajo me gusta alojarme en casas de personas que viven en el lugar. Creo que es el mejor medio para descubrir un lugar.Surfers hosted:
-Ljubov and Alexander (Russia)-Sheraz (Canada)-Mar and Maria (Spain)-Aidas and Edgaras (Lituania)-Bérangère and Sébastien (France)-Lukas (Czech Republic)-Lo

Interests

Playing music: I play percussions and I'am learning how to play better guitar. When i'm travelling/hosting couchsurfers, I'm always happy to share music.

Walking, biking or trekking: In different natures places everywhere...in contact with an nature as authentic as possible.

Travelling: When i'm travelling, I like mostly, discovering nature places, learning about local culture, having fun with the local population (that's on of the reason I like the couchsurfing system).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During a walk in the mountains of Wiklow Ireland, early in the morning, I found myself in the middle of a herd of a hundred deer approach me and let me photograph them

A Alcala La Real, in Andalusia, the festival Etnosur (free) during which festival-goers camped around the city. Incredible atmosphere in the heat of summer

Dolphins, whales and pilot whales that swam around the boat on which I sailed to the Canary Islands
