About Me

It's difficult to describe oneself but I'd say I'm an easygoing person who enjoy meeting friends for a drink or dinner at home. I'm always busy (even though I, m currently unemployed, or maybe because of that...) except when I'm travelling, that I get quiet and relax.

I have time enough to do the things I love while I'm looking for a job, such as travelling and learning languages, so, take it easy. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to share my home, I've always lived in shared houses and now I want to follow with this philosophy of life. The fact is that I usually have people at home, but one room is free in this moment and I would like to try the couchsurfing.

I'm also on Couchsurfing because I have some friends who host people and I like the idea. I have been several times with their couchsurfers and it's always been a good experience. I think it's a great oportunity to know people and different ways of life.

Interests

I love biking, it's my transport in Bilbao and I usually travel by bike in my leisure time too, I love the amazing sense of freedom you feel on your bike. My last travel was around Sevilla last Easter, 10 days biking through the mountains that surround this beautiful city.

I love music too, mainly live music, and spend the time with my friends laughing and putting in order world's problems! I'm interested in social issues and help in several non profit associations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know what to say but perhaps one of the most amazing things that I've ever done in my life has been to feed with feeding bottles 7 puppies (whose mother unfortunately died just after having given them birth). Nowadays they have almost 3 months, and they're all healthy and beautiful!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning....... nowadays English and Slow Life, enjoying every single moment of my life.

Teaching.....I don't know, maybe the best Spanish Omelette you've ever taste in your life! ;)

But definitely I'd rather share knowlegde of life, happinness, beers (sometimes) and laughs.
