HI! I'm Eddy, a 22 year-old dentistry student from Spain. I was born and raised in Madrid, but both of my parents are from China.

As for hobbies and likings, I study dentistry and work as a dental assistant. I love animals and nature, travelling around, learning new languages and getting to know new cultures.

I define myself as an shy person, although I can be very upbeat and outgoing once I get to know the other person.

My aspiration is to visit as many places in the world as I possibly can, with friends or alone, and get to know as many new people as my shyness allows.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm here in hopes that it can help me meet new people and enrich my travels with their stories and experiences. Meeting locals who can show me their favourite, not so touristy, parts of their city.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Went scuba diving at The Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Felt alive bungee jumping from 50 meters high at Cairns, AUS.

Tried to learn how to surf, still didn't get the hang of it, looking for someone that'll teach me how to do it properly.

Did a solo Interrail trip around Europe for 3 weeks. Just me and a backpack. Got the chance to meet loads of awesome people!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

For the last 3 years of my life, I've been filming each of my travels and sharing them on Youtube. I'm a true believer that memories are the best souvenir and i couldn't find a better way to take those memories home than recording every moment that lights some happiness in me.

If you'd like to see those videos and get to now me better, my Youtube channel is:
