Currently staying in San Sebastián to learn Spanish and enjoy the city and his surroundings.

I'm on my best when I can be surrounded by nature: I love hiking in country's/places I've never been before. I like spontaneous trips: make an idea for what would be a good trip and go. Examples: Go into a German cottage for beers and boardgames for the weekend, but also traveling and hiking in New Zealand for 2 months.
