I am Gonzalo, from Leon, Spain. I love backpacking as a way of travelling, always looking for new experiences, new pieces of knowledge, new people to talk with; I love spontaneous conversations as a way of sharing some time.

I am an amateur photographer and writer, my mind is always looking for something to portrait; I am normally writing when travelling, trying to reflect my feelings and thoughts.

I work as a teacher in a primary school. During my free time, I normally go out of the city for a walk, searching for any piece of nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a solo traveller, but I like to meet new friends to hang around with. I appreciate conversations and sharing experiences. The best way to enjoy a new city, is not going to the top touristic spots, but the authentic places where locals go and enjoy. On Couchsurfing, I expect to meet both locals and fellow travellers who are on this way to understand travelling and backpaking.

Music, Movies, and Books

It would be difficult to choose a film. The last one I saw was "the book of life" Intense, heart-warming and meaningful.
About music... I love reggae music, ska, jazz...
And about books, well, I am currently reading "The maze runner", definitely a good book, but do not see the movie afterwards, do it before!! (The book is much more complete)
