I am a doctor who is crazy about nature, especially animals (any type), as well as, sailing, diving/snorkeling and photography. I really like the mountain and forests, and of course trekking and camping, discovering new and hide places. But what I like the must is the sea.
In Spain I used to be a photographer, volunteer and member of the media department of an NGO dedicated to the conservation of cetaceans in the Mediterranean sea, called Associació Cetàcea. Currently I've started to do my own trips to study and protect the cetaceans of Catalonia coast. Also I love sharks and I'm doing trips to find and study them in front of Barcelona, where they are very endangered and difficult to spot. I'm a boat captain and I love sailing to spot wild marine animals.
My mother is a veterinarian and my father is a biologist + forest ranger, so with this you understand everything ... I am a non-smoker and I don't like so much the big cities and the crowded places!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, and if you like animals like me, go share our hobby together! But if not, it doesn't matter, cause everyone that wants to share something with me and let me share with him/her, is very welcome:)
