CURRENT MISSION

Pursuit of happiness! :)

ABOUT ME

I want to see the whole world with my own eyes, and also enjoy the ride!. Sure, it will take a while, so, better to start now. With this idea on mind: I declined a job in north algeria which mean working time (7 days on and 2 day rest /per month) ,I took a another job in south algeria sahara that help me up to enjoying my time working (4 weeks on and 4 weeks rest). And i have started traveling around Europe and united states of america for last 7 years.

regarding this Euro and USA trip ,working time 4x4 This allowed me to travel all , i have visited my family and my friends. Happily.

During this time I have met awesome people, that later became friends, and with whom I had the joy to share meaningful moments, that now, are hardcoded into my memory... I want more!!. In fact, I'm visiting you friends, so, get ready!

About my trip. The plan is to visit all the places I can, see what I have not seen and enjoy as much as possible!. I'm trying to focus in the local-real experience, and not just the commercial-touristic one.

PHILOSOPHY

The countries are an illusion. The only real territory is the Earth.
Jodorowsky

Keep being realistic.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First, I am super social when I travel. I talk with whomever I'm sitting next to on the bus. I chat with vendors. I banter with people while waiting for a train. I ask for directions even when I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going. The more people i talk to, the more people learn about my journey, the more likely that someone will say, "Hey, if you don't have a place to stay, why don't you stay at my home?"

Second, I have meet potential hosts last trip. I adore couchsurfing because it gives me insight into a culture that would be hard to get when you're staying at a hotel or hostel.

The best ones are super generous,i can give back economically to my host:

Buy food for me AND my host
Cook for my host and clean up afterward
Treat them to a movie and entertainment
Fill up their car with gasoline
Bring a useful, practical gift: food is best, but once I brought 20 rolls of toilet paper for my host! They loved it, saying, "Finally a gift I can use!")
Clean their house, bathroom, car and/or yard*
Help them repair their house, garden, run errands, babysit*
