CURRENT MISSION

“The only people for me are the mad ones: the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who... burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles.” Jack Kerouac

ABOUT ME

Emotional and fast. I'm teaching myself to think positive and I've proven to myself that if I really, really want something, I can achieve it no matter what. I consider myself a good person - reliable, loyal and honest.

PHILOSOPHY

1. It's better to try and regret than not to try and still regret.
2. Just file it under "who cares".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Only surfing, it is not possible for me to host right now. At the first chance I'll do that too! But I can show arround or have a drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There's not much, but I had most amazing experience with my host and his friends partying in Porto, riding motorbike through Barcelona nights and wandering arround Verona.. it makes me wish for meeting more people arround the world. :)

Interests

Traveling (of course), particularly I LOVE to plan my trips (that doesn't mean that I always stick to the plan :D); old movies and movies about old times; food (that includes cooking); spending time with good people (nothing unites people like doing foolish things together :D ).

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Kasabian, Moby, U2, Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire, Barry White, Muse, Noah and the Whale, Queen, I love jazz music (Billie Holiday is one of my fav) and Spanish guitar music, sometimes I listen to classical music (my favorites are Claude Debussy and Frederic Chopin).
Movies - Frederico Fellini is genius; Woody Alen is genius;Pedro Almodóvar is genius , overall my favourite films are from 50's-60's and European movies.
Books - Lord of the rings, yep, that's THE one!
Books by John Fowles (The Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman, The Collector etc.) are absolutely mind blowing. I admire his ability to analyze human nature and mind...
Lately I've discovered the work of Romain Gary, I'm simply amazed by his ability to tell his stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did backpacking trip all over Portugal and Spain - 250km on foot from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. I met amazing people, including cool couchsurfers!

This isn't one thing but five - I've been to Venice five times. That is one AMAZING place. And I want to go there again and again. Feel like a resident there. :D
