Overview
About Me
Hi community!! Im a canarian guy from Las Palmas although I was born in Barcelona and my childhood was there.
As so many spaniards, I fly away of this country and have lived year and a half in UK, where I learned a different perspective of my own country, now again back.
Also, in 2014/2015 I was living Latinamerica, in Argentina and Guatemala, two very different countries, although in both I enjoyed one of my passions, mother nature!
Regards my person I dont like expectatives but as a first description I consider myself as an honest guy, spontaneous, transparent and easy going with every different person. Respectful, tolerant and open to experience. Observer and curious.
Lover of food in general, but specially regional/typical food.
Would be a plesaure discover anything local you recommend!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would appreciate to share the company of friendly people from other cultures/backgrounds to learn! The best of travelling sometimes depends on people! Whats sure, good company can make one place more enjoyable and remembered!
