Overview
About Me
Hello! I am a climber/adventurer from northern Spain travelling around NZ and the world :) I have lived in several countries and used couchsurfing in the past (pre-COVID), and now I am back!
I'm really social, curious, and a good listener (or so my friends say). I love nature and I am always up for spontaneous plans, if this sounds good to you, send me a request :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I really like travelling and meeting new people, so couchsurfing basically provides both things at the same time. I feel like the idea of travelling without some kind of integration within the local culture takes away a lot of the experience. I really love to share my local spots and also experience what other people know about their cities/regions/countries/universes :)
Interests
I love climbing and hiking, these are my passions right now. I have travelled around Europe and New Zealand doing all kinds of sports that involve a rope and a danger element. I really like reading and have re-discovered a passion for fiction and science fiction over the last year.

Music, Movies, and Books
I don't have a favourite music, it all depends on the moment. Reggae for bouldering, techno for partying, jazz for reading and pretending to be a intelectual around the living room. But 3 artists I'd recommend are: Iseo & Dodosound, Sam Paganini, and Amsterdam Klezmer Band.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Travelling in a van around New Zealand.
Climbing in Flock Hill.
SW Ridge of Mount Aspiring (we bailed, but what an epic attempt)
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm an expert in getting involved in learning things that are too complicated. So I can teach how easy life can be when you don't study physics hahaha.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am a really good listener and really interested in other cultures, I can share my passion for climbing and science (yes! Science!).
