About Me

I have the strong believe that people must do the best of their time according with their hobbies and interests. In this way, as a travel lover, I spend every day loocking for new adventures and trips.

In my research for new adventures, I've decided to came to Japan for 6 months. And before working in december (as a ski instructor in shiga-kogen) I'm traveling around de country.

It's my first time using coachsurfing because It's my first time traveling alone, and I trully hope that this app will help me to meet local people and go indeep with the culture and traditions.

I mean, traveling alone is boring if you just walk seeing touristic places (every year I hate more sightseing) becuase it's the same that looking instagram. So, I want to change my way of traveling and try to meet local people and live the daily life of the places, and maybe coachsurfing will help me.

I'm from a very small fishing village in the north of Spain where normally I travel with my campervan and practise surf.

Finally, I don't really like to talk about me, but my friends often say that I'm friendly, open minded and easygoing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I say before, I love traveling, and I used to travel with my friends as a tourist. But nowadays, that's not enough for me, I need to create synergy with the city and the people, and go indeep into the country's culture.
So, I prefer for example to spend an evening with local citizens doing tipical things of their daily life than visiting as much monuments as possible (of course, seeing some iconic places it's allways great).
