About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for balance between work, travel, friends...

ABOUT ME

Born in Vitoria-gasteiz some time ago.
Then, lived in Brighton (UK) over five years.
Afterwards back in the Basque Country. In a small but really pretty town called Zarautz.
And lately, 9 years already, living in the heart of busy and lively Madrid.

I believe that everything in this world is a consequence of human behavior. And every little one can do, will make a difference to others, but also to oneself.
Always up for beer, wine or gig.
I DO love bicycles!
Like pets, but allergic to cats.

I run my own company here in Madrid which provides leisure and entertainment activities in B2C and B2B formats. Thus, depending on the week, I might have lots of free time to walk the city with you, or somehow none of it. :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Do everything you want as long as you do not hurt anyone.*

Freecycle everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This amazing structure of giving(as much as you want/can) without expecting anything back, is one the best human acts still alive nowadays.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many many... Some to point out:
- Berlin NYE: This was the fist time I surfed. It was just perfect! Such a good time with this friendly people.
- Alicante: I am so lucky to have got to know these amazing guys.
- Prague NYE: 47 CSers in a 3 bedroom flat!!! That is CS spirit!
- Italy 2011: travelling from Rome to the norther border. Many places, many great people.
- France 2011: Visited old CSs friends in Lyon, Paris and Avignon.
- France: Cycling north to south in 10 days. 7 interesting people offered me their place to shower and rest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m03WFrF68QE&feature=youtu.be
