My name is Gonzalo, I am 20, I live in Alcalá de Henares, near Madrid in Spain.
I study electronichs engeneering here in Alcalá, I'll finish my degree next year (hopefully). I usually study a lot but I also enjoy hanging out with my friends, partying when I have time and sports.
I am a very positive guy, always making jokes, but I am also responsable and mature (I get serious when I have to). I am very dynamic and hard working.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a fantastic way for young people (also old) to travel around the globe. I think there is many advantages to it, you get to know people from many countries, make a lot of friends, get in touch with other cultures, try new foods, live amazing adventures and experiences and mostly save money hahaha :).

Interests

I have mainly 3 passions in life:

First one is sports, I enjoy all al them and practise many. I practise surfing, snowboarding, skiing, tennis, football, snorkeling, mountain biking, karate...The one I love the most is surfing no doubt, but the one I'm best at is skiing.
I also love food, I enjoy eating foods from exotic countries, trying new dishes and also enjoying the pleasures of Spanish typical food, I can also cook some typical meals from my country (paella, tortilla).
My thrid passion is of course travelling, getting to know the world, meeting new people and learning about other cultures, I think it helps to build character, develope your personality and also open the mind.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy reading about politics, economy and araising issues in our world (north korea, israel-palestinia...), I think it is very important to know about some topics in order to later discuss about them with friends or people in general.
I couldn't really pick a favourite movie...the same thing goes for music, but I can say some of my favourite bands are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Muse, Semisonic, they all play either rock or little bit of alternative music, I enjoy jazz as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences around the world, my joy (obviously) hahaha, and I would also love to share some beers or wine with them :))
