Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that couchsurfing is one of the iniciatives that connects humans in a very human way. It is a way of learning new ways of living and perpectives of life, and also

As a host, I feel like offering part of my time and knowledge about my city and surroundings. It also gives me "fresh air": travellers have a concrete enthusiasm that when I am in my "current life" I love to get through.

Being a guest in someone's home and city is one of the best ways of knowing people of the place where you are travelling, and it is a great way to discover the culture and some different places and specific traditions out of the guides :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have walked all the GR-11 (path that goes trough the Pyrinees) in 38 days, with 12-14kg on my back and sleeping in a tent or in 'free small refuge-house'! (2015)

I've travelled alone for 5 months in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador :). (2017)

"Bungee jump"! Most adrenaline rush eeeeever! (2012)

What I Can Share with Hosts

It depends on the days you are coming! I don't work on weekends, so I usually try to plan nice things to do those days.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belgium, Ireland, Spain
