I was born in the north of Spain, in Cantabria, close to Basque Country. When I was 4 years old, my parents moved to Guadarrama, small town close to Madrid. It’s a beautiful place right in the mountains. They still live there and I go quite often to visit them and my friends. I used to live in Guadarrama with them and i went to school and hight school in the area. I studied my university degree in Madrid, at the Autonoma University. Now I’m living and working in Madrid. I also study Arabic twice a week and always look for a new course to do and learn new things. The last course I did was a course to became a Spanish Teacher for a foreign people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and I meet new people. I volunteer in a language exchange and enjoy a lot meeting new people, practicing languages, etc… When you are not able to travel, meet people from all over the world it’s great and it’s a kid of trip without leaving your city!  And I think that Couchsurfing is a great idea to meet people, and very useful to get to know the city you are visiting much better and the people who live in the country.
I open my occount long time ago, but, as i was leaving with my parents or sharing appartment, i couldn't offer accomodation. Now that i live by myself, i would like to get more involve with Couchsurging.

Interests

I love to travel. I’m always looking for a new place to visit and planning new trips. I enjoy a lot going out with my friends, have a beer (or two) with them, laugh with our jokes, dance, etc… I like hiking too, I enjoy a lot nature, fresh air, a good picnic in the countryside, etc… My parents house is a nice place to do this!  I like reading too, dancing and sports (although I don’t have much time to practice it!).

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m not very exigent with music, I like almost everything. I like rock, but I enjoy Spanish a lot too. I enjoy old fashion Spanish music when I go out, which is funny for me and make me dance a lot. I don’t watch many movies, I don’t have time, but I like serials. And I love to read historical novels, sometimes I read even while I’m walking!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was volunteering for almost 6 months in Cameroon, and it was a great experience. I met amazing people and learnt a lot. It was something very special for me, and I would like to have the chance to do it again (in the same place or in a different one).

Teach, Learn, Share

You can learn from the experience of other people, you can learn aobut other cultures and let other people know about yours, etc…I could learn or improve other languages, I could learn how to cook dishes from other countries, about other music or dances, etc…
I could teach Spanish, Sevillanas dance, how to cook Spanish omelet, etc…

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can go out and know some places in Madrid, know the city or the towns and montains close to Madrid, have a beer together and some “tapas”. While I’m working or studying, I can explain places to go in the city that my host could enjoy. We can share stories too, we can do language excange, go out with other friends, etc…
