CURRENT MISSION

To share love :)

ABOUT ME

I'm just a regular young adult (well, not that young now:P), working as a computer programmer to live but with a passion for music and arts.

I'm a humble and simple guy and do not need much to be happy: just own an old car (almost my age!).

I don't value material things and try to avoid the prejudices of our vicious capital society. Instead, I value spiritual well being, always trying to get new experiences; that's why I'm on couchsurfing, both travelling in my place (through my surfers experiences) or in other countries.

PHILOSOPHY

Our stay in this planet is so fragile that I always try to make it worthy, spreading love around me and not giving much importance to material things! The important is the internal and mental health.

Other thought important to me is "your freedom ends up where it starts the other's..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think CS is one of the greatest things that ever appeared on the net!

Off course it is a good way to travel cheaper, but that's much more than that!

I usually say that I travel a lot in my home town, because it allows me to know different cultures with travelling, and it's surelly a great travel option for who hasn't the possibility to travel!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have some couchsurfing experience by now, either hosting and surfing.

I had great travel experiences in Koln and Bilbao, but I have surelly been more active as a host! I have received great different people either in my place or my parent's place from such different places as USA, Mexico, Germany and Spain and I have to say I didn't have a single bad experience yet!
