Hello!

We are Álvaro and Cris, a Spanish couple who is currently travelling around Asia with no return ticket.
We are an easy-going, clean and quiet couple that is more into enjoying a cup of coffee and a chat with someone rather than partying.

As passionate travellers, we love to travel and to discover new cultures while getting to know the local life. We think that CS is a great way to enjoy the culture of every country as a local, with locals, and it's brilliant to help you understand the habits and cultural differences better. It also gives you an insight of what a Spaniard is like nowadays!

We also really enjoy learning new languages as well as teaching our mother tongue, Spanish, and CS can be amazing for that purpose.

We have just joined the CS community, which is why we don't have any review just yet (hopefully someone will give us a chance soon!). However, you may visit our Instagram account to get to know more about us and follow our travels if you like. Check it out: @WeJustWannaTravel

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We would like to connect with locals to get to know them in a deeper way, it's a much more enriching experience than staying in a hotel room!

Teach, Learn, Share

We are linguists so we are pretty good at languages, with Spanish being our mother tongue. Since we are passionate travellers, we can talk about our travels around the world and share our tips and advice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can practice languages, cook some traditional Spanish food or chill out having a glass of wine or a cuppa :)
