About Me

My friends say about me that I am polite, kind, both reserved and open minded, and they seem to enjoy my tongue-in-cheek kind of humor.

Eager to travel and meet people from all over the world, with an easy-going and relaxed attitude when I am on the road. I love to explore and follow the less travelled route. I prefer the term "traveller" to tourist.

"Treat others as you would like others to treat yourself"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently I am about to start an Interrail through different european countries. I'd love to get to know local people along my way to get the best experience.
When hosting, I like I can discover new cultures and different points of view about everything without the need to leave my own city.

I have hosted people before, outside Couchsurfing, and it was a great experience, and also show my city around to other travelers. It's great to find people interested in the same kind of things I like.

Fly in an Ultralight Plane
Cycling in a spanish city :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach Spanish, and lots of things about the Spanish culture. It would be great to have a conversation in French or German, as I am learning both languages, and a have little chance to practice them
Learn how to cook new dishes. I don't think I am a good cook, but I can try!
