CURRENT MISSION

To live and breathe Australia!

ABOUT ME

I find it hard to describe myself and I prefer other people to do it. I have some interests (which are described in the interests section), but here are some things about me:

I'm a fairly nice guy, who accepts pretty much anyone for what they are. Everyone should be allowed to think whatever they want and how they want. I might be viewed as a liberal-type of guy.

I've travelled a lot through Europe with my family and friends, and my last trip was an Interrail through the Balkans (which I enjoyed a lot!). Now it's Australia's turn!

PHILOSOPHY

"Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing". It's a saying that makes a lot of sense to me, and I live my life pretty much with this is mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Currently, every little help in setting up my Australian life helps, so Couchsurfing is a good way to start!

Interests

I love MUSIC - to hear and to play it (on the Guitar). I have a very wide and broad taste in music: I can hear songs from Beyonce just as I can hear songs from Dream Theater, Megadeth, etc. I won't lie however, my favorite genre is along the Rock 'n Roll sounds, with some of my favorite bands being Gun's & Roses, Dire Straits, Steve Vai... the list goes on and on. Music definitely plays a big part in my life.

Another thing I love is VIDEOGAMES. I've been a gamer since I can remember, owning lot's of consoles. Favorite games include the Metal Gear Solid games, Shenmue, Shadow of the Colossus, Battlefield 3, Kingdom Hearts, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, God of War, Silent Hill, Amnesia... among many, MANY others.

I also like to do many other things like watching movies, play Basketball, hang out with my friends...

Music, Movies, and Books

About movies: I actually like them a lot, but I'm terrible at remembering names and titles... so I'm probably forgetting a lot of my favorites!

Movies: The Dark Knight, Inception, Pulp Fiction, Django, Shrek, 72 Hours...

Music: Guns & Roses, Dream Theater, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Dire Straits, Pearl Jam, John Mayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Gonçalo Pereira, Eric Clapton, Daft Punk, Van Halen, Extreme, Raise Against The Machine, Lenny Kravitz, The Police, Sting, Mark Knopfler...

Books: unfortunatly, I'm not a good reader. I've only recently tried to start reading, thanks to my girlfriend, who has very good taste in reading and has been able to guide me in this hobby. I've only read 2 books: The Surgeon (Tess Gerritsen), The Girl With The Dragon Tatto (Stieg Larson).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to ski a lot when I was younger. I've seen some gorgeous sights in some of the highest points of the Pyrenees (in Spain). The stillness and calmness of being in places like this is just overwhelming, I really love it!

I've also been to the Acropolis in Athens. The view there is stunning, you can pretty much see the entire town. It really feels godlike to be up in a place like that!
