About Me

I am a friendly, respectful and open-minded person.
I am very social and I enjoy to do things with/for people.
I don't need and don't want to own too many things.
I have got a special attraction to the nature and the life in the countryside. I'm "Born to be wild".
I always wear beard, but my hairstyle is always undefined.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I most like of couchsurfing is the people that you find here. Incredibly adventurous, open-minded, generous, restless people that makes couchsurfing possible.
Moreover, I like to host people, cook something nice for them and show them my favourite places in the city.
And, of course, I like travelling the couchsurfing way: to meet local people, to visit non-turistic places and to not waste most of my money in fancy hotel rooms.

Interests

I love meeting new people and to share experiences with them. I believe that the really important thing is not what, but with who.
I am very open to live new experiences never made before. I want to be always a learner of the life.
I like board games, interesting books and movies or simply talk until late night (philosophy and politics is allowed here :P). But I also like sporting awhile: cycling & hiking are great, climbing get me mad!
I maintain a humble urban orchard at home. I like to grow my own food :-D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During the winter of 2015, I went from San Sebastián (Spain) to Paris (France) by bike. We cycled more than 1000km to reivindicate solutions for the climate change at the climate change conference COP21. Here it is a short video of that trip: https://vimeo.com/148914274
I lived many experiences in my erasmus course, too many to be told in some paragraphs...but there is one video of some friends of mine and me rolling down from some dunes, in the Golden Beach, north Cyprus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6qC14Ti-ko
I like to create and build my own things. For example, I built an sound stereo amplifier: http://youtu.be/xSdQ1-pNFVY
