About Me

Heeeeeello!

My name is William, I was born in England in a small island down south, at a couple months of age my mother moved to Ibiza in Spain, where I was brought up and where I have lived all my life, my Dad is South Spain.

Most people have heard of Ibiza because of it´s big clubs.

Do me a favour, don't asume that is all there is to it please.

What most people don´t realise is that these party areas are mainly concentrated to 2 areas of the island, the rest of the island is covered with stunning beaches, great food, lots of forest, and a laid back atmosphere...

So yes, there are schools in ibiza and it is a lovely place to grow up.

Couchsurfing is an amazing platform and an incredible way to travel, it's philosophy, a culture, hospitality at its finest, meeting people that in a couple hours get so connected to each other that they become friends, sometimes more so than people I have known for years. True bereber hospitality.

I like tasting new dishes and eating local food and cooking, most food excepting raw tomatoes and cucumbers, the outdoors, nature and every little thing in it, I am an animal lover, totally anti zoo, or any form of caging animals for human recreation, I love hiking and trekking, the less people the better whilst out in nature, the ocean, what a sense of freedom the ocean brings. I like having deep conversations about most subjects, the world is already to superficial lets scratch the surface with big claws ;)

Sorry I dont like Golf... But tennis,volleyball, basketball, ping pong, rock climbing, swimming, paddle, yoga, freediving, scuba diving... lets go!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to submerge in new cultures and experience a little piece of the world with every person I meet on here and people who understand the couchsurfing philosophy

Interests

Animals of course, outdoor sports, socializing with friends and new friends, travelling oh travelling!
submerging in new cultures, scuba diving, Me you and the other one to come. People are cool, I like being a bit of a psychologist. But I don't always like people. There is moments and situations where the less people the better.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music except mainstream bull*****, that sounds on the radio 24/7 about how many girls, money and cars these "artists" have.

All time classics, rock, R&B, spanish hip hop, flamenco, house music, reggae, dubstep, etc.

I love reading books some of the most recent ones are:

The kite runner, wolves at our door, Adrift, Shantaram, Into the wild, the elephant whisperer, voices of the desert, Captain Cook´s biography, The last of the nomads, Harry Potter´s 7 books, Why warriors lay down and die.

I do enjoy a good movie, but I am more a documentary person, anything from wildlife, science, society views, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When trekking in koh tao looking for snakes, was so busy looking for them that i stood on one, and my reaction wasnt another than jump after it, realising after grabing it by the tail twice and looking in the bush for it, that maybe it was a bit dangerous...

Another moment i remember very well, was in my hometown of ibiza, when i was about to go into the sea fishing about 7 am, the sun was only just coming out, and a couple of dolphins swam right near us!

Another animal related one, was catching a 5km/h slow boat from bali to lombok, when the fishermen suddenly stopped fishing, that was strange... all of a sudden a group of about 150 dolphins surrounded the boat in all directions!! for a long time too
