Hi! I am Beñat, a basque guy. I've just quit my job and I'm TRAVELLING AROUND ARGENTINA and CHILE WITH MY BIKE!
🚲 🚲 🚲

Before this, I was working as an Elementary School teacher (Language, science's, math's...) and previously I studied to become a personal trainer.
I love sports and adventure, so that's why I practice ultra trails. Also, I practice cycling, hiking, climbing... Besides this, I love nature, reading and traveling because this is an excelent way to know new places and people.

I have already traveled around some European and South American countries but I need more and more. I think traveling slowly is the best way to know each culture and people, so Couchsurfing is a perfect way. For me traveling is share, fun, enjoy, cry, meet, say bye, fall in love... it's life!
