About Me

I´m now living in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. Since last April I´ve come back to work as a teacher after a couple of years living in Bristol, England.
I enjoy hiking in nature whenever I´ve got some spare time, playing guitar, having a good time with my friends or doing sport like jogging and climbing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it a great way for both travelling meeting new people from the places you want to visit and getting a cheaper and a more reliable accommodation.

Interests

I like playing guitar, mandolin, flute ans Irish whistle. Cooking is also an enjoying activity for me, especially when friends come along (salads, some Traditional Basque dishes,...).
Being in nature, going to the mountains, having a picnic by a river, walking along the seashore or just strolling around a park it has become almost necessary for me at this time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to listen to Basque rock music when I was younger. Bands such as "Su ta Gar", "Negu Gorriak".
I sometimes listen to some timeless singers like "Bob Marley", "Janis Joplin", "Bob Dylan".
Some more bands like Skalariak, The Cat Empire, Buena Vista Social Club, Canteca de Macao, Tracy Chapman,...

Regarding to books I love reading books about psychology, philosophy and spirituality (authors such as Wyne Dyer, Annie Marquier, Joe Dispenza, Ekhart Tolle, Osho,..). I also like authors like Bukowski, Neruda,... and read bestsellers like nearly everyone every now and then.

These are some good films in my opinon: "The great dictator"(by Chaplin), The Life of Bryan, Schindler´s list, La velle verte, Untouchable, Chain of favors,...
