¡Hola! :)

I'm Jorge, a Geography and History teacher from Asturias, currently living in Soria. I'm a really open-minded person. I love meeting new people, sharing experiences and enjoying everyday life. A little bit shy at the beginning, I can adapt easily to any situation. My philosophy is based on "sharing is caring".
I speak Spanish as mother tongue and I can speak fluently English, French and Turkish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a newcomer in CS but I can't wait to start. Couchsurfing perfectly fits my philosophy of life and my way of understanding traveling and social relations. I would gladly host you! I love sharing my city and my region with other people, so If you want I can show you breathtaking sceneries, innermost secrets of our heritage and art or teach you some of our ancient customs. If you stop by my area do not hesitate to contact me!

Interests

Although I seem quite calm, I'm trying to be active all the time. I'm interested in art, history, literature, nature, music, cinema, etc. I like learning and I'm always ready to do new things! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the best memories from my Erasmus year in Athens is a road trip through the Peloponnese in a van: 8 people, 5 nationalities, 10 days and a lot of fun!
Also I'm very involved in educational workshops in local museums. Whenever I can I join them as a volunteer. Definitely a great experience for me is working with teenagers, transmitting them my passion for History and seeing how they enjoy!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love discussing about art, literature and politics. Also I'm really interested in Middle East culture and history. However, I would be glad to share a nice chat with everyone, no matter the topic as I am a really talkative person. For sure If you are interested in Spanish language and culture, I think I can deal with that!
