About Me

I live and make my living in London, although I’m originally from the Basque Country (Spain).

I

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling on one's own is certainly a connecting and rewarding experience, but at times it can be impersonal and dull. Couchsurfing gives me the best of both worlds, the freedom of solo-travelling and the social side and local knowledge of a travelling companion.

Interests

There's one interest that defines me; yoga. I've been a keen yoga practitioner for over three years, and it has changed me for the better.

Cooking and understanding someone's culture through the taste is another past time of mine. But for this a very skilled guide is needed!

  • literature
  • design
  • cooking
  • yoga
  • social work
  • cinema
  • international development

Music, Movies, and Books

I, regrettably, don’t play any instrument, so music for me it’s an unexplored subject. Having said that, folk or jazzy tunes are my go-to.

I take a keen interest in film, and try to keep up to date with the latest releases. But it’s watching author movies where I find my happy! Some of the directors I outright adore are; Werner Herzog, Eric Rhomer, Varda, Buñuel... etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a good listener

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whoever decides to take me in will have something I tend to value a great deal; my time, my word, my attention and admiration.
