I am a very friendly and open-minded guy that loves travelling (so like 99.9999999 % of the users here). Something that characterises me is that I can adapt to many different situations and groups of people, I always do my best to respect their opinions as long as they are constructive.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I really enjoy meeting people of different countries in the world, and I think the people here and me share a lot of thoughts in common. In fact, there is no better way of getting to know an area but through the knowledge and wisedom of local people :) Before signing in this webpage, I did it with a couple of people and it worked perfectly, so I can't wait for more.
Music, Movies, and Books
Any kind of music: Queen, Pink Floyd, Sígur Ros, Gentleman, Berri Txarrak, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Crystal Fighters, Esne Beltza, Amaral, The Beatles, Sonata Arctica, Manu Chao...

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Sleeping (be back) on an Icelandic beach (Westfjords) in a summer night while watching some Northern lights.
Teach, Learn, Share
I basically enjoy teaching and learning from other people. Every person that we meet in this world has something to teach us.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I am very grateful for any help. I will compensate it with cooking and helping at home (and if I'm coming straight from the Basque Country, I'll probably bring some food along ;)
My Interests
Obviously travelling. I can't leave long if I don't go to the mountains. I'm not the best hiker, but I do love walking around nature. I also love reading, and I'm always open to suggestions about what to read. Of course, I couldn't do without music either, I play the piano and sing a little bit, and I love listening to nice tunes (especially world music), it always cheers me up.
