Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel makes me free, learn about other cultures makes me be a better person
ABOUT ME
I´m from Spain, I grew up in a small island in the mediterranean sea, Menorca. I love film and photography. But even more I´m passionate about traveling, I think it is because, when I was little, my father use to read me the Odyssey instead of Cinderella. Travel helps me clear my mind. I am very independent, I do not like ties, I have friends from all walks of life, of all races and of all types, so I consider myself an open mind. I was taught from childhood to respect others and I think that has helped me to have as diverse friends. I like art, and I feel the need to express myself through photography, film and writing. When traveling, what interests me most is to know the locals because it is the only way to truly understand the culture of the place.
PHILOSOPHY
For me the most important think is to be free. For me, freedom is to be able to take care of my own time, that´s my goal.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have an apartment in Menorca, I don´t hang out there much because I travel a lot, but when I´m there I´d love you to visit me and my beautiful island.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I don´t have any experience in couchsurfing, a friend of mine that traveled all over the world told me about it and I thought it was a great way to know people and travel. I have experience in renting on Airbnb so I´m use to hang out with people all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My trip to Africa (Kenya and Ethiopia) open my mind in a way that changed my life. We travel around non tourist places visiting all the tribes we found on the road...
Teach, Learn, Share
I´d love to learn about your culture
I can show you mine, I can talk about photography, film... My friends and family use to say that I´d be a great teacher... I don´t know about that, for me a teacher is a BIG word, is a very important profession that I respect a lot so is hard for me to say I can teach you anything, I prefer to say that I´d share my knowledge with you.
