About Me

------ ON THE ROAD ------ IN AUSTRALIA ----- I CAN´T HOST ----- AT THE MOMENT -----

CURRENT MISSION

Conventional thinking will only take you to conventional places

ABOUT ME

I don't want to go along the line of 'Normal, shy, honest guy' description although it is true...so I'll say 'rude, very rude, and bad mannered and spoken' so you will have to meet me and then you will see what a good lier I am.

In case you haven't guessed it yet, I like meeting people but also I understand that when hosted/surfing you (we)(I) won't be always in the mood for talking, partying, etc. and, hey, CS opens someone else´s house to a complete stranger so respect and taking things easy is encouraged and a basic thing. In case I am surfing your place, although I am very independent I'd love to share your preferred cafe, bar, show, scenic spot, old ruin...whatever you feel like showing me, I'd humbly appreciate it.

Do you want to Couch Surf with me? Read this first :)

PHILOSOPHY

Wow!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Please note that the  below only applies if I am not on the road :)....................................................................................I have enjoyed sharing great moments with fellow CS. Now in Asturias, a beautiful place in the North of Spain with a lot of activities and things to do, or before in other countries, I can share funny moments in front of a glass of cider or a pint . With you, I mean, of course!A first glimpse of what you can find in my home province would be the pictures thanks to Google (http://bit.ly/hMIUeX), information in Wikitravel (http://wikitravel.org/en/Asturias) and to some extent the ubiquitous Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asturias).Have a look at them and then think about what you fancy most, museums? night life? landscapes? coast? mountains? and also what is your budget? will you be open to using public transport to a certain extent or rather rent a car - or be driven around ;)? Asturias is pretty compact to go around by public transport with only a few places that, due to the time taken to get there or the situation, are better reached by car. The more information you have about what you want to do and see, the more help you will get from Couch Surfers over here. Including me, of course.
