About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find what to do with my life...

ABOUT ME

Even if I was born in San Sebastian, a lovely city in the Basque country (north of Spain), I always lived in Hendaye, a little town just on the border between France and Spain and in front of the Atlantic ocean.

After 5 years studying political sciences in France (in Bordeaux, the world capital of wine!) and Spain (in Granada, with such a beautiful islamic heritage), I just finished university a few months ago. At the moment, I'm doing an internship in Quebec's parliament.

PHILOSOPHY

Vive y deja vivir

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to the couchsurfing "world" by my former flatmate in Granada a few years ago. We went to a couchmeeting and it was really a great experience. I knew some great persons that are now big friends.

Just some months ago, my flatmate and I decided to go "one step further" in the couchsurfing experience. We had just finished the exams and wanted to escape from our student routine. We were hosted in the west coast of Ireland by an outstanding guy. I was so happy with this warn welcome that I decided to create my own couchsurfing profile...
