About Me

Hey there!

I´m looking forward to meet new people from all over the world, either as a traveller or as a hoster. I enjoy having nice conversations with different kinds of people.

I studied languages at the university, so, I always enjoy a chat about languages. I also like other things, like culture history, politics... I feel especially interested in alternative movements and initiatives as well.

I think my friends would describe me as an open-minded person, nice and funny, although unpatient, as well not very punctual either.

I think the best way to get to know each other is with a cup of coffee or with a pint of beer, so, feel free to contact me... but in order to make it easier, check up the information below about what I can share and what I am looking for in couch surfing :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's nice to go to other countries, visit their monuments, take some pictures and scratch a "must" list.

Nevertheless, I've seen that sometimes this kind of travels lacks some kind of soul or special touch, since it's way better to meet people living in those places you visit, and see how they live, whay they eat, where do they go, etc. Getting to know this part gives a very valuable side to your trip, thats why I like couch surfing, because it is an opportunity to find this part during your trip.

Moreover, I would love to make new friends in other parts of the world and try to help them out the way I would like other people to help me in other parts of the world. Moreover hosting people at home it's a way to travel as well when you have to work and you don´t have the time or the money to travel yourself so, it's like exchanging the saying "if you can´t go to the mountain, let the mountain come to you"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing out of normal, the only thing that comes to my mind right now is that time I ate a taco made with crickets... it's not something I would do again. xD

Teach, Learn, Share

AS A HOST -I'm a tour guide who has lived 10 years in the city. I don´t know the city perfectly, since it's a live city in constant change, but I can show you some very cool places.

I'm not a party boy, so, maybe if you are looking for the typical places to go out, I will disappoint you, but if you are into alternative hidden places, I can show you some.

I get a lot of requests lately and I can´t host as many people as I would like to. So, I have to filter somehow. Try to send a personal request. Change a bit of you template to let me know that you have read the profile and you think we can get along well.
Otherwise you'll also get my template saying I won't host you.

My flat is veeeeery small and I only have a spare single matress to offer. So, although I would love to, I can´t host more than one person at the time.

AS A TRAVELLER: see below what I can offer to my hosts :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice talks and laughs.

Vegan recipes (although I'm not a good cook, they're delicious)

I am also conscient that you surely have a lot of things to do, so, besides apretiating enormously the time you can offer me together, I also try to adjust as much as I can to your timings :)

I can also help you out learning Spanish if you are interesting in learning and, although I'm not the best, I can also cook some basic, but good things :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, India, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Thailand, Turkey, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
