Hey guys,

I'm a 23 year old guy, very laid back, open-minded, love meeting people who you jut click with from the moment you meet them, I get on with all different groups of people and love meeting new people. I have your typical English sense of humour, kind, fun, love learning languages and of course travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm about to move back to Madrid but would like to fit in a bit of travelling around Northern Spain beforehand. I'd love to meet some new people along the way (either hosts, locals who can show me around or tourists who want to explore together!)

I had some fantastic hosts when I Interrailed and Couchsurfed around France, and would like to have a repeat experience (if not better!) in Spain!

I intend to be in the following cities on the following dates:

Barcelona [24th - 27th January]

Zaragoza [27th - 30th January]

Bilbao [30th - 2nd February]

Burgos [2nd - 5th February]

Santiago de Compostela [5th - 8th February]

Porto [8th - 11th]

Either add me on Facebook (Bill Jackman) or IG (Bill_jac93) and inbox/DM me if you fancy exploring together, doing a language exchange grabbing a drink or exploring the nightlife. :)

Interests

Learning languages:

I speak proficient Spanish, a decent level of Portuguese, quite good level of French, Italian once upon a time and obviously fluent English ;)

Cooking:

I enjoy eating... a lot! Trying and cooking different foods/restaurants, so I would like to take advantage of these experiences in order for people to show me their traditional dishes, and you mine.

Cinema/films:

I enjoy going to the cinema, watching films at home and Netflix etc.

Hiking:

I love hiking and taking in the fresh air. Grenoble and Snowdonia are my favourites so far. Many more places to go hiking!

Going out:

I love going to different cities trying out the bars and clubs and as a student, I have a lot of experience haha ;) Whether its at a pub/bar drinking various different drinks and having a laugh with friends, or predrinking and moving on to different club/s, I'm sure it'll be fun!
