About Me

First of all, I must say that I'm new in Couchsurfing. I've decided to become real some of my forgotten dreams, such as travelling around Europe, hosting amazing people and having adventures.

I'm a 21 years old spanish student desirous of knowing the world out there. Maybe I could say that I'm open-minded, serenity lover, raw but dreamer at a time. I enjoy listening to interesting conversations, performing with my amateur theather group, reading essays about psychology, adventure or current issues.

At home (Granada, Spain) my bigger passion is doing voluntary work in the emergency context. Together with my girlfriend Minerva, we are part of two associations working in this incredible field (Civil Protection and GEA SAR Spain).

Now I'm studying Psychology in Würzburg as a Erasmus student. In the meantime, I'm working as informatics assistant helping to prepare an online Spanish course for german students in Würzburg.

I also get the most out of mountaineering and nature activities (trekking, rafting, canyoning, etc).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Even when I usually dream with having adventures, I haven't dare to make them true till this moment. So now I see Couchsurfing as a really good way to travel and meet people, having enriching experiences by the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meet Minerva, my companion, my partner. Having her company in our small adventures is greater than all adventures in the world.

Well, some of the "Urban Search and Rescue" training have been also amazing. Spend some hours in a tiny hiding place waiting to be rescue by my mate team, open holes in the floor and the wall with hummers and radial arm saws to find someone and sleep in tents in an abandoned cement manufacturer... is something worths be done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm trying to work in that part now...

With time, I would like to become a veteran Couchsurfer, having a lot of stories and experiences to share, but the true is that right now I'm just a young guy who want to live peacefully, intensely, to find a job in my passion and enjoy the life with good people and good adventures.

Even so, we can practice Spanish together, and I can teach you some "Andalucian". And if do you have any interest in well-know "Spanish Revolution", here you have to someone that can share with you a couple of experiences about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My skills are limited, but I will be enthusiastic helping with whatever is needed. I'm a passionate listener, so if you enjoy talking we'll get along well. Still, I rather enjoy talking and sharing experiences about the emergency volunteerism.
