About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I prefer not to have it as a mission...I just want to find everything I can enjoy in life...

ABOUT ME

Well, well, people say I'm a curious person...I don't know, I just like to do things in the way I like it, without worring too much about apearance...every one should do what they want...but with respect always!:-). I like discovering new things everyday, whatever small thing or story or word it can be. I love singing and playing guitar, also making my own songs (or try to)!!. Meeting people and having funny as well as deep,filosophycal conversations are another of my interests. Cooking of course, experimenting, just open the fridge and inspiration will come!!:-). I also like painting but...unfortunately this is not one of my strongest points!! As a resume and nice closing sentence,simply, I love nature, natural things and natural people.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy your life and let the others do it as well. That can make easier that you can enjoy together!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered couch surfing long time ago, but always have problems with sending e-mails because I didn´t have references yet...so, as I didn't understand it very good...I quited...Finally, this one weekend I went with my French friend travelling in Portugal (Porto, more exactly) and wow, it's was a great first experience! Since then I have hosted and been hosted a couple of times, but also I participated in couchsurfing meetings in Cambridge ( I met good friends from there). I think it is a great community when used properly.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have had several couchsurfing experience (not a lot yet) but enyojed them all a lot! That'sounds why I continue in the community. I was hosted for the first time in Porto, then in Bristol, and I have had beautiful hosting experiences with a German couple (Sine and Fabian) and Bedoo :-). Simply I loved it!!!I'm going to repeat always that I can. It was not just a couch service, it was meeting interesting and nice people and discovering the city with them, and this...I love it...

Teach, Learn, Share

In couch surfing I can teach that everything is possible if you want, and just smiling everything is better!
I want to learn more things from life, listen all kind of histories that will help me to continue building up my self.
