Hi! I am Beñat and I am just living.
🏔️🚲🏃🏼‍♂️🚵🏼‍♂️🚴🏼‍♂️⛷️⛰️

I was working as an Elementary School teacher for years (Language, science's, math's...) and previously I studied to become a personal trainer.
I love sports and adventure, so that's why I practice ultra trails. Also, I practice cycling, hiking, climbing... Besides this, I love nature, reading and traveling because this is an excellent way to know new places and people.

I have already traveled around some European, South American and Asian countries but I need more and more. I think traveling slowly is the best way to know each culture and people, so Couchsurfing is a perfect way. For me traveling is share, fun, enjoy, cry, meet, say bye, fall in love... it's life!

If you are coming to the BASQUE COUNTRY, remember, THIS IS NOT SPAIN NOT FRANCE, welcome to the Basque Country!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

...because it's an excellent way to share experiences, meet people, learn and enjoy! And I love it :)
