I am a grateful person. I believe we can always keep learning, I will forever be learning. I believe in energies, in greater good, in genuine feelings and intuition, in synchronicity.
9 out of 10 people think I am at least 3 years older than my real age. I don´t believe your age defines you, I grew up with older people than me and never had a problem with it, actually found it beneficial and also enjoy sharing with people of all ages.
I am really into knowing people, learning about other's perspectives, other cultures.
I like to be honest with myself and to others. Communication is very important for me, I really believe things go smoothly when you communicate :). I live very peacefully towards others, revenge- jealousy - hatred among others are things I thankfully don´t have, ,or have very absolutely vey little of in my life. I love sharing and trusting others.
I run my own business since 2013, we do sound and music for motion picture and work worldwide, you can check more about it here if you find it interesting: www.optimus-sound.com

Please feel free to ask me anything.

Oh I also love beer, music, live music, improvisation, languages, good talks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I constantly try to appreciate and see the things that truly have a trascendental value in life, genuine care for others and friendships are one of those things, I love meeting new people who have a genuine interest to be nice and help others, I believe here I can meet people like this :).
I also love travelling and one of my favourite ways of knowing the places I visit is by staying at a local´s place or hanging out with them to have a glance of what living in that particular place would be like

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Several times now I have been told by some people how grateful they are for something I taught them or did for them; this is one of the most amazing things for me in life.

-Some moment of my life when I truly realised for the first time how grateful I am to be alive and to have the chance to make decisions and be a better version of myself and think about the greater good.

-The first time I traveled alone totally blew me away. I travelled to Chicago, IL in the US and went for the first time in my life to a music fest, and the whole experience was something I had never lived before, it was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe we can all learn from each other something, but based on the feedback that other people have given to me I say anything related to: "doing what you love", being an entrepreneur running your own business, living in an atypical way at least for my country of origin, sound, being in contact with your emotions and opening yourself to energies of life.
