About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Working and resting before my next trip in Canada!

ABOUT ME
31 already, o my gosh!!! jjjj
An International Villager, interested on people and their living. Serious but with some crazy-funny tics... ¿How should I summarize? BASQUE. jjjj

Since I left my small village (Amezketa), I lived a year in Barcelona, another in Slovenja and started receiving some fantastic guests back in Vasque Country (Spain).
After finishing my studies, on July of 2010 I started a new life in LatinAmerica, to go trough South East Asia after... volunteering, backpacking and so on...
Right now im in Canada for some time working and saving money.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and help to live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have offered a couch in my flat in Tolosa, and some guidelines to whoever wants about this area of Basque Country. However, in 2010 I left home to explore Latin America. Since then I’ve been trying to know people and their way to be. I like to see the fantastic beauties of their countries, but what I really want is to know the little thinks that can help me understand their everyday life.

Teach, Learn, Share
