Hi I'm Álvaro (mi Spanish name)

I'm a Spanish boy. I just finished an awesome 4-month-travel adventure through Okinawa and Taiwan. I like the simple beauties of life and a good conversation. I try to be an independent thinker. Discovering how overwhelmingly nice people are. Learning to be a better human. Vegan diet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet friends that touch my heart and shape me, while travelling cheap. To discover other ways of life far different from mine. Now that I'm also a Host, to have a blast and meet people from every possible country and walk of life.

Interests

I get inspired by the wonderful people I meet through travel. It opens my mind in ways that almost nothing can. I think human beings are really a gift to each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Falling in Love (by far the most incredible). Sneeking into a private jacuzzi at night in one of the best Hotels in Spain. Breaking my phone 4 days after I purchased it. Manage to speak four languages (Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and English) in the same conversation at once. Beat two Dark Souls Games (that one was hard). Stare directly into my lover's heart. Give up lying, smoking, drinking and eating any animal products.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languages such as Chinese, English and some Japanese as well as my native language, Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Heart to heart conversations. Stories. Helping with some chores. True listening. Fun!
