About Me

I´m a guy living in Galicia, work in a hospital in Ourense and live there half week, and the other days live on the coast, close to Porto do Son; moved from Barcelona in 2021; enjoying nature of Galicia is one of the best things to do here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love knowing people from all over the world and travelers are most of them very open minded; is very interesting to know others traveler´s experiences.
I have hosted some amazing persons, very positive!, and have done some very good friends :)

Interests

I like my job very much, but out the hospital I enjoy of diverse interests
In the city I like to visits museums, expositions (ex. photography), take some air while bike around the city, jogging next to the sea, gym, trekking on forest/mountains (this part was written when was living in Barcelona)
I enjoy going a coffee bar and read or work on my laptop;
In 2022 ran my first race, Barcelona’s half marathon, and after that I have not stopped, finished 3 marathons and looking for the next one.

Out the city
I like very much driving and visit small towns in the mountain, I´m interested about architecture, there are some beautiful old churches all over Catalunya (also in Galicia); there are always places to discover around the city where you live

I love taking a flight and visit a city every weekend off I can, unfortunately I cannot do it so much as I would like
