About Me

Hi everyone! I'm a Spanish guy from Bilbao, in northern Spain, and I recently finished studying History.
I love travelling, as it is the best way to discover deeply new countries, cities, cultures and people. I'm a little bit shy when I met someone for first time, but I become confident and easy-going easily. I enjoy meeting people from around the world, hearing their stories and sharing our experiences, about their travels and/or cultures. I don't what else I can say about me since I think that it's a bit impossible to describe perfectly how I am, I think that it would be better to discover it by yourself and then tell me so I can explain better to other couchsurfers. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel all around the world.
It is time for me to leave the rainy northern Spain and begin to discover what there is beyond the Pyrenees. I decided to enter in CS as a way to make that possible and, at the same time, meet great people and make friends from different countries.
I started making foreign friends while volunteering at my university, helping newly arrived exchange students. They introduced me to CS as a way to continue meeting people from other countries while traveling.

A phrase that I love and summarizes why I'm here:
"At the end of life the decisions that you regret most, are ones that you did not take".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hope that thanks to this webpage I'll have the opportunity to fill out this section. :)

Although in March 2018 I did a roadtrip from southern Saskatchewan (Canada) to the US, crossing North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn everything I'm able during my lifetime, since each travel if a great opportunity to learn and teach something new. Meanwhile I can share my positive mood and stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Spanish culture and I can also try giving a Spanish language lesson. I also speak Basque (euskera), one of the most difficult languages to learn. Apart from that, I can manage well cooking, ask me to cook a tortilla de patata (Spanish omelette).
