About Me

I am a 23-year-old guy from a beautiful and homely town in the north coast of Spain, its name is Hondarribia.
Actually I am a student of Civil Engineering, living in San Sebastian, Spain.
After spending one amazing year in Stralsund (Germany) learning about renewable energies. A year full of unforgettable experiences, trips and of course, people!
After finishing my degree (this year) my goal is to graduate in a Master (abroad) and get started in the laboral world as an engineer.
Without stopping travelling and knowing people everywhere around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a traveler, I like to know as much as possible about the place I am visiting, thats what couchsurfing offers to their users, as a host or as a guest. By the way you spread your culture, you learn a different one.

Interests

I always love to travel to unknown places. I like to spend the time and the money i have on this hobby.
When im not travelling or studying, I like to practice sports (tennis, running, football) listen to music and meet my friends, or just organise my next trip, even if its not going to be carried out.
Im getting a true running after get trained for a few half marathons in last months. For this 2016 my goal is to complete a full marathon.
Always I can, i try to mix the hobby of travel with live music, live sports or practice sports wherever I go.
