I'm a teacher and translator.
Currently living in the Basque country

I love reading, drawing, hiking, cinema, photography...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not hosting for the moment... but always up for attending gatherings and events!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While doing volunteer work at a children and youth's centre near Berlin, I started using CS as a surfer and a host, and I loved it -- have been doing it, on and off, ever since...
I see it as a way to maintain trust in people, which we seem to be losing a bit today
I've met wonderful spirited people along the way who have given me a lot to think about and I hope I've given something in return
