--------------ENGLISH--------------
Hey wanderers! I'm a travel addict as well and I think there is no rehab centre for that :P
I love finding beautiful places, taking pictures of incredible sceneries but I believe people make places worth visiting!

I also love languages. When I travel abroad I always try to learn some local words and expressions even if it's not necessary! My goal is to become fluent in 8 tongues! So I would really appreciate if you help me with Portuguese, French, Italian, Russian, Mandarin Chinese or Japanese. I can help you practice Spanish or English. I've been teaching for over 5 years, so I've got some experience.
I'm not looking for a relationship here.

My next trips are:
Beijing
Buenos Aires

--------------ESPAÑOL--------------
¡Hola viajantes! Soy un adicto a viajar y creo que no hay un centro de rehabilitación para eso :P
Me encanta encontrar lugares hermosos, tomar fotografías de paisajes increíbles pero creo que las personas hacen que los lugares valgan la pena.

También adoro los idiomas. Cuando viajo al exterior siempre intento aprende algunas palabras y expresiones locales, ¡aún cuando no es necesario! ¡Mi meta es adquirir fluidez en 8 lenguas! Así que realmente apreciaría si me ayuda con el portugués, francés, italiano, ruso, chino mandarín o japonés. Puedo ayudarle con el español o el inglés. He estado enseñando por más de 5 años, así que tengo algo de experiencia.
No estoy aquí buscando un relación.

Mis próximos probables viajes son:

Barcelona
París
Londres
Buenos Aires

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

--------------------ENGLISH--------------------
For me, Couchsurfing is about meeting people, learn about another country or culture with local people.

You can check out my facebook so you make sure I'm a normal person :P: www.facebook.com/martin.urquizo

--------------------ESPAÑOL--------------------
Para conocer nuevas personas, hacer amigos, compartir buenos momentos y abrir la mente a nuevas culturas. Creo que cada buena acción vuelve a uno de alguna forma, a veces en el momento más inesperado.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
International Rock, mostly in English, like Kings Of Leon, Coldplay, The Cure, Queen, The Killers, etc. but then I am quite open-minded.

MOVIES/SERIES
It's difficult to choose, but I love movies that have more profound messages. Forest Gump, The Prestige, Jeux d'enfants, Pixar movies, The Big Fish and so-on.
Series like Black Mirror, GOT, Monster (Anime) and Cosmos, are among my favourites.

BOOKS
I love short stories, mystery and fantasy . The Bottle Imp, La Sombra del Viento, The Black Cat,
I collect versions of Le Petit Prince in the languages I am learning; I've got 7 so far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I survived the pandemic in China :0

- I slept one night in Patagonia (Argentina) under a sky full of stars, just with my sleeping bag (and it was a freezing cold night!)

- I explored Scandinavia through its train system. Beautiful views on the way.

- I travelled through small villages all my way to meet my sister who was travelling through the Amazonas like a backpacker.
