CURRENT MISSION

It´s not what the world has to give you but what you can offer the world .

ABOUT ME

I am an open and dynamic person who likes to do a lot of things and share them with people. I like travelling a lot, swimming, biking and trekking. Eating great food and cooking all kinds of recipes. Going to art exhibits, theater, and seeing good films in O.V.

I love parks, plants, trees and flowers, almost all kind of music and talking to people. I have to confess that I love talking. Ask my friends....

I am mostly a day person but also enjoy the night life in special occasions and in summer time.

I don´t smoke and the only drug I´m addicted to is life. I avoid the company of people taking drugs or smoking at home.

I live in a very quiet and healthy environment. I´m quite adventurous and curious. For me the sense of humour is very important...

I´m always happy and eager to meet new people and share my friends with others. I believe in networking and I love organising encounters and events. Life begins when you share with others what you are. Then your essence becomes double.

PHILOSOPHY

First of all, life is a present. So, I take care of it as a great treasure.

I live my life looking for its last meaning and feeling grateful for what I got.

I believe in tolerance, respect and solid values like truth, friendship, loyalty and empathy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can give you advice and tips about the city and any information if you are planning to come to Madrid and you feel quite lost with all the information you need. I´m patient, I´m a teacher after all...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a lot of people in Lisbonne of Coach Surfing and invited me to join the net. I even got invitations to come back to Lisbonne and to Porto.
I met an amazing girl from Lisbonne through a friend of mine and this person introduced me to a lot of people. I also became a good friend of Porto CS Ambassador.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting God directly though poor people and malnutritioned children in Calcutta, India. Some of them were practically dying in my arms with their loving eyes getting thought my heart.

Going though the Vietnamese jungle on a Russian mottor-bike with a French-speaking vietmanese easy-rider and my back-pack. This was an amazing discovery and a wonderful adventure!

Getting a visa to go to Russia is my next adventure ... We´ll see if I am able to do that.
