About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try local foods around the world !!!

ABOUT ME

Although at first I 'm quite shy , I like meeting new people to talk and to learn.

I like visiting new places as a traveler rather than a tourist, meeting people and stopping to observe their customs and way of life.

I always try to pay attention to detail, learn as much as I can learn .

I like to do things quietly (which does not always mean slowly) , enjoying them and making them best.

I meet people , I want people to know me . I am seeking to find interesting people and places, to bring something to these people and keep in touch in the future.

I love hiking and outdoor sports in general. Often organized activities ( I manage www.papatitas.es https://www.facebook.com/groups/papatitas/?ref=bookmarks ) Free assistance and had a blast . The latest project was to ascend the eight highest peaks of Andalusia and ended recently.

I like computers, game consoles , crafts and especiallythe food !

If you want to know more about me, ask me , let's talk ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Hakuna Matata.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Gradually , I will participate more and more in the Couchsurfing , dedicating more time and always trying to bring something positive.

Not only travel and know people with it (although now I can not accept anyone because I do not live only ), also organized many different activities for locals and visitors.

Organized hiking trails, paintball games , karting, games , food exchanges, language exchanges , cultural visits ... and many other activities for CouchSurfers around the world to meet and exchange concerns.

I think , now , my participation is mostly organizing events for the couchsurfers feel at home.

( I still expanding ) .

Teach, Learn, Share

Couchsurfing I think it's great to meet new interesting people , with many interesting things to learn.

I'm always willing to listen and learn new things from all kinds as well as to teach what I have interesting to offer.

I can teach some typical cuisine of my land ( the kitchen is what I like, think that eating is the greatest pleasure that exists ) , handicrafts of various types (such as working with leather for example), some knowledge computer , skills in outdoor sports ... and maybe some other stuff I can not remember now .

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I surf , I like having a good time chatting with my host , learning and listening. I can give talks on many different subjects, telling stories that I have lived in different situations, I can teach to cook dishes from my country , I can teach skills for hiking and other sports , I can offer activities and new experiences back in my city (from www.papatitas.es) ... and above all, I can offer just good moments to remember.
