About Me

From Spain.

I love to experience, see, share and learn about every nation, culture and people.

RIGHT NOW:

I am traveling solo with my motorbike from Spain to Oman, more than 20.000km and 15 countries.

- ABOUT ME -

I'm up for any adventure. Anywhere. Anytime.

I am an independent, easy-going and sarcastic person, with a veryyyy good sense of humor. I like simple things, authentic people and raw moments. Beautiful things make me cry. I love drawing and I enjoy sketching the places that I see during my trips.

I have recently joined the biker community and I’m planning for some exciting trips with the bike :) So if you’re a biker I would probably love to meet you!

It looks like I have some kind of magnet with the Middle East, a region I keep coming over and over and that I have mostly been exploring the last years :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to interact and communicate with local people, the most important part of my trips is the "humanity" part where I get to meet each person. I love to hear what they have to say, exchange opinions and point of view and learn from each of them. Most of my best experiences includes all the new people I have met along the way.

I always say in Spanish: "los viajes son la gente" (the trips are the people).
