Hi my name is Jaime Elizaga and I am a 26 year old guy from Spain. I have studied a double major in Law and Business. After that I spent 2 years working in London in order to save money and get some professional experience. Following this I am getting ready to start a trip around the world for the next year and a half.

My plan is to start in South America and go up through Central America. After that I will visit Mexico, and the West Coast of the US and Canada as well as Alaska. Will then jump to China and Japan and all of South East Asia to then arrive in Australia and New Zealand. Will probably finish by flying to India and staying there a months or two. Would love to keep going forever but I guess will need to finish it when I save a bit more money (hopefully at some point :))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is the best way to meet new people and locals and experience fully a certain place, region or country

Interests

I love all kinds of sports from skying to surfing, hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving, snorkeling, playing football...

Really enjoy music (as well as playing the guitar), photography and cinema

But out of all what I personally enjoy the most is traveling and if combined with any of the above then it will definitely be a great experience

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess this needs to be related to traveling. I spent a year in the US during high school and that was truly amazing, also the Erasmus year in Paris when I was at Uni and the last 2 years in London have also been great (although working very long hours :))
