About Me

I was born in Gipuzkoa (Basque Country) and lived here for almost all my life. I went to university and had the chance to study abroad, in Mexico, for 6 months, an unforgettable experience!
Currently I work for a train manufacture company close to my hometown.

I have been always interested in traveling (backpacking) and in my student era I was lucky to move arround, mostly in Europe. Now I don't have so much free/leisure time, so I try to get advantage of those little holidays and visit new places.

One of my hobbies is sport, all kind. I have practice several of them like football, mountain activities (trekking, climbing, MTB, skiing...), and also cycling, running, swimming. I couldn't live without them..!

I try to mix those two, travels and sports, always looking for a bit of adventure and culture and people's manners of every single place. Also food, beer and wine, I love to try new tastes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I knew nothing about couchsurfing until a friend told me what it was. From the first moment I was fascinated and wanted to take part in the project! I logged in some years ago but I don´t have any experience with it. I used AirB&B in NYC and it was good despite the drawback of the cold relationship between owner (host) and guest. Now I would like to try the CS experience for once at least!
