Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I join this community many years ago during my stay in Slovenia but then I wasn't active so that's why I dont have experience till 2014 when I decided to be more active. After hosting, been hosted, attended meetings abroad, joined local meetings and events... I had many great experiences and I hope to get much more in the future.

Interests

Sport and outdoors: surfing, snowboarding, hiking, cycling, soccer, basketball... I love nature, mountains, snow, sea, landscapes...

I enjoy city's culture and social life, take a coffee/tea/wine/beer, having lunch/dinner...

I have a university degree on journalism and I work on wine marketing so I love everything related with journalism and wine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you spanish and some basque as well. Teaching or giving you some tips about exercise, sport and healthy lifestyle. Due to my job I can share with you my knowledge about wine and teach you how to taste properly a wine. I would like to show you around my city, sightseeing, explain you about my place's history, culture, heritage...

I would like to share my biggest smile and a lots of fun. Talk about my traveling experiences and my likes. Going together for some outdoor activity.

I would like to learn cooking more healthy recipes. Want to learn more about yoga, pilates, meditation or massage. Also to learn german, french and russian languages mainly, but any language is welcome. I want to know about other countries culture and history. Always up to try any outdoor or sport I never practice before.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Staying at my place and/or showing you around my city, sightseeing, explain you about my place history, culture and folklore. I'm also up to do some outdoor activitie or hang out together.

As an active host I am, I expect requests that really show an interesting to meet me and have a cultural exchange. Sometimes I get many requests and It takes many time to answer all of them kindly so if you are not even able to say my name on your request, dont expect an effort from me neither. Sorry but this is something I learnt after many time hosting.
