About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, meet new people, gain knowledge and have fun.

ABOUT ME

Well, is difficult to describe me with only words, you should meet me in person. I am an extrovert, easy going person, that likes a lot travelling and doing sport.

Currently doing working in Vic as a mechanical engineer.

I think that we should do more than visiting tho most sightseeing places of a country, is more interesting knowing the people from there.

PHILOSOPHY

I consider myself a hard worker, I like to achieve my goals; and I also think that when a situation becomes harder, then it's better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new in this website, but my intentions are clear: I would like to travel around the world and also help people that want to visit the lands where I am from.

I host when it is possible with my schedule; it is amazing having a pice of another country in your home ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed in several places and I have hosted some people also. I think that this is the greatest way of traveling and knowing new people!

Interests

My main interests are basketball, biking, sports in general, traveling (a lot!!), getting lost, walk around without knowing where I am going and meeting new people!

I can't stand rutine and monotony!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think that every travel that I do change the way I think.

Apart from traveling, I have done some interesting things, but those that have marked me more are: "Pedals de Foc"; it is a route in Vielha that goes around the Pirineus, it's really interesting due to its sights; and also really tough because you have to ride 240km.

Another amazing thing I have done is climbing Olympus mountain with some cs friends!

And I have also hitch-hiked from Istanbul to Alexandroupolis :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that there are many topics to talk about with people I meet. Moreover, I think that when you are with someone from abroad is easy to discover and teach new things. Even the slighest thing could be surprising.

Apart from doing sport I like cooking, so I can offer to my hosts/guests a spanish omelet o even bread with tomato (typical catalan).
