About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the way!

ABOUT ME

A very curious person, open minded, who enjoys discovering new cultures, new people and new paths.A little confused, a little bohemian, a little sensitive. A bit of everything but too much of nothing.I am waiting for learning all you can teach me!

PHILOSOPHY

1.- Do what you really want to do, never what you are supposed to do.

2.- Be a sponge (not Bob) and take everything positive from people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I am not a member from a long time ago, I decided to dive deep in CS and to extract and discover all that interesting people can offer to me! becouse as I read once, it is not where you go, it is the people you meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Although my musical roots are punk, grunge...I have very diverse musical preferences and I love to discover new music and unknown foreign groups, specially Balkan music.
I read a lot, and I like writers such as Murakami, Kadare, Coelho, Orwell, Kafka...too much to write here! But for instance,I have in the same shelving Karl Marx, "The Koran" (yes, I have read it) "The little Prince", or Sun Tzu´s "The Art of war"...so I mean very heterogeneous!
