About Me

I have always been passionate about traveling and getting to know different cultures. I consider myself open-minded, calm, and always eager to learn and try new things/experiences. After working 3 years as a financial consultant, I have quitted my job to spent a year collaborating with NGOs in developing countries.

After spending 2 months in Tanzania working as a volunteer as a teacher and helping the microfinance program, I volunteered in Nepal building schools for 6 weeks. After I went to travel Vietnam from the north to south with motorbike, 4.151km. Then I backpacked from the south to the north of Argentina hitchhiking for 2 months and a half. And finally I spent one month in Bolivia, most of the time climbing mountains. Now I’m traveling the South of Spain and Portugal with a french friend that I met in Vietnam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m travelling all over the world to get to know different cultures and also to admire the amazing landscapes that this world has. When I travel to a place I love to meet with local people and learn and visit not only the most turistic things but also the more atheutic and unkown special sites. My experience travelling tolds me that these places are faster to find out with locals. Another reason why I’m in CS is because I love to haung out with other travellers wherever I go, and this app it is very useful in this sense.
