ABOUT ME

Too many years ago, in a small village in the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula, a little baby cried and cried just after watching the light for the very first time. And then, suddenly:

PHILOSOPHY

I am just trying to be surrounded with nice people (and I can tell you, there are more than I could imagine in my best dreams!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting quite often and eventually surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Really positive! I've hosted quite a lot of surfers and all the experiences were so good. I was hosted a couple of times and still surprised with the generosity I was treated. Couchsurfing is the perfect ice-breaker! The more I living it, the more I love it, CS is a very good idea!

Interests

Night lights, walk around, good bread, cinema, get lost in a big city, quiet conversations, trains, the fall, reading, trees shadows, stay abroad, good music in a good pub, basketball, eat&drink...
