About Me

Español:

¡Hola, couchsurfers!

Soy del Peñón de Gibraltar, una nación donde hay 30.000 personas viviendo dentro de seis kilómetros cuadrados!

Hice autostop por Europa durante seis meses y luego por América Latina durante un año y medio donde descubrí que, a pesar de un mundo revuelto, todavía existe una gran cantidad de amor y espíritu comun.

Disfruto compartiendo historias de viajes, tocando música y aventuras en general, pero también me gustan los entornos más relajados.

Me encanta conocer gente interesante y el couschsurfing da la oportunidad de vivir los viajes a través de los ojos de un local.

English:

Hey, couchsurfers!

I'm from the Rock of Gibraltar, where 30,000 people are crammed into six kilometres squared!

I hitchhiked across Europe for six months and then Latin America for a year and a half where I discovered that, despite a troubled world, there still exists a great deal of kindness and love.

I enjoy sharing travel stories, playing music and general adventure stuff, but I also like chilling and more relaxed surroundings.

I love meeting interesting people and couschsurfing gives the opportunity to experience travel through a local's eyes.
