Hola, I'm currently in Madrid learning Spanish while studying International Relations. Prior to that I lived in the States, where I did my undergrad but more importantly cycled from the East to the West coast with an awesome charity called Bike & Build. At the very beginning of the story was the French country side where I was born, and where a yearly trip to visit the family is necessary.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I find the concept very refreshing, meeting local people should be an essential element of any trip, and couch-surfing facilitates that very encounter. Also you are almost guaranteed a new interesting acquaintance who can quickly become a friend, that's pretty cool.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
The Cliffs of Moher on a perfectly clear and sunny day. You could see for miles out. I've cycled across the United States 4,200 miles.. yes on a bike, the one where you pedal :)
