PHILOSOPHY
Traveling its not just a holiday or visit awesome places, its a way of living (i been living abroad for the last 20 years) its about to learn and understand about the people and cultures, about this world and its wonders..
I've lived in different countries and continents. I don't like just to pass by,, when I like a place I try to stay long to have the chance to meet locals (and other travelers) learn and get involved about their culture, costumes, problems, share experiences and see special places "off road.."
I try to minimize my impact on the environment and culture i visit,
i like to travel by hitchhiking and camping.
i try to support local business and products.

-Viajar es un modo de vida, conocer la cultura y costumbres de cada lugar,
a la gente local y otros viajeros!!! porque viajar no es solo ver paisajes..
es compartir experiencias y parte de nuestra vida..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

is the best way to experience local life..
as I've been on the"road" the last years, living in shared flats and hostels, I didn't have the chance to host much.. but my house was always open for friends and people that need it (even before couchsurfing existed)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Not many but good ones..!! we had good times with my hosts and guests, sharing experiences and ideas, listening music, watching movies, traveling around, hanging out, trying local food, cooking and cleaning,, and much more.. and this is the best when you are traveling alone in new countries..
