CURRENT MISSION

Get to know as many development projects in Western Africa as I can

ABOUT ME

I often say "I have a Dominican heart, with a Spanish brain and a Swiss passport". But actually it’s not really correct. The truth is that I don't feel like I belong to any country, or have any nationality, and I can feel at home about anywhere.

I'm a passionate person, as if I'm not passionate about something, I just can't do it. So everything I do, it has to be 100%. I always have to move, discovers new places and new people, and keep on dreaming!

PHILOSOPHY

It changes everyday...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to propose a couch as often as possible (Geneva). I'm always free for a drink and to show around the city, especially in a city that I know fairly well (Barcelona) I go to group meetings (Toulouse)and I very much rely on CS when I travel around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a few travelers in Barcelona, for a drink (or 2!). But my best CS experience was in Toulouse, when I was hosted by Benjamin Levine, and met a great and solid CS group there! It's when I actually realized how involved are the people, and all this CS way I didn’t really know about. And now I’m trapped into it as well!

Interests

Too many! I know it's cliché but true. I'm a chronic desperate passionate person about everything!

I love scuba diving, racing motorcycle, anything on and under water, studying (better to say "learning new things", no?), reading books, the 7e art (cinema), pop-rock music, development project and cooperation work, social economics. Keen on new technologies as well: internet, blogs, etc.

Is anyone still reading me?!?!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Walking around Galapagos volcanic islands with flip flops
- Get a tongue piercing in a little corner of a flea market in Quito, Ecuador
- Loose my way back Buenos Aires - Geneva because I came back from clubbing at 8 am and fell asleep instead of taking the taxi
- Riding under a pouring rain a racing motorcycle with slick tires, in Magny-Cours
- Walked around 3 days in Barcelona with a foot born broken in two pieces.

Am I mixing the word "amazing" with "crazy"?

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't have much to teach.
Love sharing though: cooking, dancing, drinking, travelling, going out, speaking around a glass of wine, a mug of beer, or a cup of tea (depending on the country), gardening, cycling, climbing a crane being drunk in the middle of the night, whatever you do, i'll try it with you!
