About Me

Hi!! I'm Raúl, I really love life and to live every moment as if was the last...
This is so beautiful to be here and now...then...here we go!!
I was born in Valencia and lived on the orchard too. I grew up loving nature and exploring new places with my friends. It was so good...mountains, rivers, plenty life!
I studied phisiotherapy in The University of Valencia. And after 2004 I worked in France some months then back to Spain... Each time in a different place, that let me discover France working and living there...
After 2010 between my life is quite nomad...Spain, France...and all over the world... Travelling some months and then back home... and then France and then...start again!!
I travel as much as posible... My life is kind of a gypsy life!
My last job was in St Martin, a little island half french, half dutch in the middle of the caribbean... I really loved it!
Now I'm travelling around South America

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to discover a country is sharing with people who lives in the country... They now the best places. Not only the touristic, but the authentic and real places where human quality and charm exists...

Interests

I'm interested in the unknown... In different cultures, new landscapes, amazing people, to see wildness, to feel one with the nature,. I'm really curious and I love to learn about everything, about everything.
We shouldn't lose our curiosity when we were children neither our capability of astonishment.
I love every new stimulus, to discover, to explore, to feel alive.

Books: Los hijos de la Tierra, The Lord of the Rings, all about Christian Jacq and Massimo Manfredi writers... The Art of Living (Jidda Krishnamurti)....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be cycling with a push bike on the Australian East Coast... From Sydney to Byron Bay.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about all I know... languages, about my work physiotherapy...any knowledge I have, I'm here to share it.
Always learning about life... Everyone can be a good teacher if you know how to listen true...
Learning is the way how our brain feels alive... Learning and feeling!

What I Can Share with Hosts

It's all about experiences, about life.
A good conversation, is always a good way to learn, to listen, to share.
