I'm a pretty chilled guy, love meeting up with people and going for hikes. Because of work I usually get stationed abroad which in turn gives me loads of time to spend travelling. I try to keep my availability updated but often forget so just hit me up and I'll let you know if can host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up when I was still a student and traveled on a budget. It came up specially handy during my year abroad in Finland, now I mainly use it when I backpack on my own, and since I moved out also to host easy going folks visiting my city. Work eats up most of my time so I apologize in advance if I tend to decline due to lack of time or energy, but when I do host people I love opening up to new frames of mind and cultures. To be honest all of the people I've hosted so far were already known to me someway or the other, but if you give me good vibes I'd be glad meet up.

Interests

Favorite thing to do: hike. Anything related also works, love MTB, climbing (mostly boulder), snowboarding... Also enjoy water sports, used to train waterpolo and tried surfing without much success. Keen on photography but not that good at it. When I'm alone I'm a passionate reader, love drawing and cooking.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost anything, specially jazz, blues, electronic and some indie groups.

I'm not a huge fan of cinema but scifi is my guilty pleasure.

I devour any good book that falls in my hands. Specially keen on american classics and complex characters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Eager to teach Spanish to whoever may want to and specially interested to practice English while having a couple beers. Also if you like trekking I'll be more than happy to plan something.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in an apartment in southern Madrid, not that far but need to take public transport to get to the city center. You can use the couch or my not-so-soft climbing crash pad (200x140cm).
