CURRENT MISSION

Catch as many waves as I can and surf them till I figure out the meaning of life

ABOUT ME

I was a hard working communication Designer, a dreamer. Loved to read and experiments with photography.

One day I fed up with working 12 hours a day and decided it was time.
Moved to Indonesia one year ago and started my own life travel. So here I am traveling in Indonesia until Life brings me a new mission.

PHILOSOPHY

People are like little magic boxes. You have to find the key to open them and find all the magic inside.
(If some are somewhat smooth to open, others take time to open)
And usually the box appearance has few to do with the inside.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well my first contact with the "couchsurfing" was in the college when we worked until it was too late to go home and it was usual to sleep in someone's couch. At that time I never thought there was a community doing something like that around the world. (Now I know)

I've had 2 great experiences of hosting in my flat near Lisbon. At the time I was working 12 hours a day so it worked as a way of traveling having this incredible friends around when I got home. Their stories were the way I had to travel in these days. But they also gave me the motivation I needed to start my own world travel.

So here I am. In South East Asia - Indonesia and around, discovering the world but also discovering myself. Hopefully I will surf some couch and make some friends around here.

Algo increíble que he hecho

1- A floaty and an air mattress 5 hours river cruise in the middle of the jungle of Kalimantan. (The best part was we didn't know where it was leading so we took food in case we had to spend the night, which we almost did).

2- Being overflown by a huge female semi-wild orangutan and then run in front of it until a guide (who had already fled) screamed "The food!! The food" (pointing to where we were running). That's when we realized that we were running in the orangutan's food direction. Not a good idea with a hungry orangutan behind us. (Tanjun Putin N. Park- Kalimantan)
