Always a difficult question.. I was raised between Spain and Poland, I have a passionate interest in traveling since then. There are two essential things that set my own beat, music and nature. I had a stroke of luck that changed my life a few years ago, I started visiting the region of Svalbard archipelago (Norway) as part of my work, an eye-opening experience which swelled a magnetic attraction for this amazing piece of land and the Arctic seas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Maybe a good excuse to meet any Thoreau adepts ..
