About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“Enjoy life so much that the second before I die, the memories will make me smile”

ABOUT ME

Hi,
I'm from Mallorca, but I left the island when I was 18. During this time I've been living in Barcelona, Lyon, Mexico and Madrid. When I came back home I realized that all had changed there. I realized that I didn't like my job either. So I decided to stop one year to take new ideas about what I really want to do in the future. How? Travelling during one year around the world with my brother and a friend.

I visited different places, I arrived very far away, I saw how big and incredible is this planet. I met different people, talked and shared a part of my life with them, I learned a lot about that.

I think it’s supposed that I have to talk about how I am, but I’ve never been capable of talking about this. You need to ask to the others. If you want to know more, take the risk!

PHILOSOPHY

Four basic rules:

-You have only one life.

-There’s only one thing that makes a dream impossible, the fear to fail.

-When you have a big doubt, think that there’s chances that will never happen again, and there’s nothing harder than to live all the rest of your life asking to yourself “What would happen if…?”

-When your mind tells you one thing, and your heart another, follow always your heart. You'll never be wrong.

( Sorry for my english... )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During the year we travelled we discovered CS and we love it. Some really interesting and funny people hosted me. They showed me their favourite places, introduced me to their friends, and share with me lot of fun.

Now, I'm back to the island and I would like to continue with the experience. I'm looking for a couch to host people. It's coming!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had good experiences. Really great people has host me. In Melbourne, I went with Kat to the best jazz-bar I've ever been, and to support her favourite Australian Football Team ( A sport I didn't know ).

We organized a BBQ in Bonday Beach at Loren's, had really interesting chats with Xavier in Sydney. In Brasilia had a nice dinner with Waguinho, Juliana and his friend, we stayed at Katyl's in Salvador for Carnaval,... and all the great moments with all the others.. Too long to explain. It has been great!

Interests

I like travelling, music ( live music if it's possible ),good food, walk the cities, nature, share a beer with friends, sports, and being from a sunny island... The sea and the beach, diving and fishing.
