I'm an easy going person, open minded, and always curious and optimistic about life, trying always to learn about things that come to me or pass through me. I'm a person who loves the simplicity of a long walk in the park with my 2 dogs (rescued pets). I'm a totally proud dad of a 15th year old girl, and always happy to hang out with her, enjoying to travel and to meet together new places (when budget allows). I'm always making plans, trying to be always active, that enjoys to feel the esence of life in each activity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Despite that this system was recommended to me by friends and specially by my fiance (they had positive experiences), I'm sure this is an excellent way to travel and to meet new people, make new friends, and a great way to know in depth the local culture of each city, which is impossible to see when you go in a tour. But one of the main reasons is to teach my daughter that one of the most pleasant activities, such as travel, can be done with low budget, with the unique chance to meet good people all over the world who thinks as you think.

Interests

Running (specially in the forest near home, and other trail paths), hiking and climbing mountains with his girlfriend and 2 dogs, travel in my own country but also in foreign places. Love jazz and blues, specially live sessions. I enjoy to watch football, and the best plan is to have a peaceful dinner in home, watch a movie, read a book
