About Me

I'm a Spanish guy that took an interest to Chinese while in highscool. Now I'm enjoying every chance I have to visit a new place.

I studied translation because it gives me the opportunity to approach every field of knowledge, even though my favourite things are rather untranslatable, like traveling, sharing experiences with other people, meeting living beings other than people, and anything related to music.

You could say I'm an introverted person. I like quiet places as much as lively environments.

In any case, I'll be always respectful with the environment and the people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always felt that staying in hostels was an unavoidable need when visiting a place by myself. Staying with friends is always more enjoyable, and couchsurfing could be just that!
