Overview
About Me
Born and Raised in Alicante. Music and Travels have been the core of my education and the reason why I became a languages teacher. I teach Spanish and English. I love to share my passion about language through culture, music and travels. I have been teaching for 10 years in public schools and now, I have decided to start a new adventure teaching with alternative methods by my own because I don´t believe in Classical Education to teach languages.
I have been playing in a Rock Band for 15 years now (VIRGEN). We have released several records and have traveled all across the country playing gigs eith international bands and living wonderful experiences. I have also traveled all around the world, meeting amazing people everywhere..
Apart from music and traveling, I also like surfing (Alicante looks like a coast with no waves but, some days, you would be really surprised). I love cooking. Going to good spots in Alicante for tapas or visit the markets to buy fresh ingredients to prepare a meal is a MUST in Alicante.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
5 years ago me and my brother were backpacking through the States staying in hostels. I was in Chicago when, luckily, I found a pub where I came across lots of couch surfers.There was a couch surfing meeting there, I had never heard about this page before, but I had a really good time with them and they encouraged me to start couchsurfing and stop going to hostels. Next day I was having my first couchsurfing experience. And so far, I have nothing but good words about this community. I have been surfing and hosting people for 5 years and I love it.

What I Can Share with Hosts
Most of the time we cannot accept guests due to our work schedule. Anyway I am always able to help you out during your stay in Alicante, and I love to introduce the city and the area to people coming here for the first time. Don´t hesitate to contact me.
I love to interact with people from other countries and cultures. I love my land and I can share a lot of curiosities about it. We will have a great time with very good conversations ;)
