ABOUT ME

Easygoing with a positive outlook on the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was an active host during my time in Nagano (Japan).

In August 2013, I set off on a long-distance cycling trip from Japan.
.
I cycled across 30+ countries and circa 65,000 km through places lost in time.

These days I juggle my life between biketouring and house/pet-sitting.

I sometimes like using hospitality communities like Couchsurfing to get a better or different glimpse of the country I am cycling in, connecting with people, discovering projects and interesting initiatives to inspire me.

And also because it is just as nice to have a break from the saddle routine, you never know what kind of people you are going to meet, and it makes it really exciting.

I was born in rural Spain (Galicia) surrounded by animals and nature and grew up in Geneva, Switzerland.

I have traveled extensively since my early 20s and have lived and worked in several countries. I speak Spanish, French, English, Japanese, and Galician-Portuguese.

I am a non-smoke/non-vaper, a clean and quiet person.

I enjoy a frugal life: going on walks, cooking simple meals, contemplating, enjoying the little things...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to be an active host in Nagano (Japan) during my time there. I had really wonderful guests. My experience, both surfing, and hosting, has been great so far. I really love to experience how people connect sometimes in a very short time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Round the world on a boat for 4 months with Japanese passengers, a floating Japan

A solo cycling journey between Japan and Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

For the most part, I am a student of everything and a master at nothing. Well, maybe I am becoming a master in problem solving, since life on the road is always about fixing things, finding solutions, and juggling with options.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to share stories, a meal, a conversation, a good laugh, some riddles, a chocolate ice cream, a portrait drawing session, a silence...I can share my journey with you and you can be part of it.
