Hey there :)

I like to think of myself as an easy-going, down-to-earth person who always tries to remind himself how lucky he is and lives his life accordingly: with a positive attitude and a smile :)
I have a hostel in warm and sunny Granada and an Argentinian restaurant with two business partners.

I try to live my life with integrity and respect, valuing friendships, family and connections with people.
Trying not to take everything in life too seriously.
Remembering that we are all made of the same atoms :)

I love making people happy, helping them connect and become friends, and that's why the hostel is such a gratifying job for me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurfed a couple of times during my big trip around the world back in 2011, then I hosted several times.

In a way, I feel like the hostel brings the world to me... which is great. But still it's work, and sometimes I feel like meeting travelers in different environments.
