About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make my way through this gigantic world of ours & keep the boring stuff far away

ABOUT ME

I've been travelling and playing music for the last years, trying to get under the skin and feel the pulse of every country/town/city I find on my way. I like to learn languages, try different lifestyles, food, habits, music, art, etc. I've been travelling for around 12 years now. It has become all I know and it's very hard to stop. Lately I've been spending time in Northwest Canada picking morel mushrooms for a living.
I like freight trains(to hop on them), motorcycles and boats - especially sailboats- , circus arts, books, painting, climbing, treehouses, jungle, mountains, forest, rivers, the ocean, spending sunny -or rainy- afternoons on a balcony or a roof, coffee, plants, animals, beer, playing cards and gambling(I ended up with a chicken once in Guatemala, traveled with her for weeks and together we crossed El Salvador's border. She was called Hazel and she laid one egg.) I also like to camp, walk, kayak, snowboard, bike and do any sport, my favourites used to be skateboard and muay thai but I lately decided I wanna keep my teeth for as long as possible so I calmed down a little bit.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in instinct and I also believe I should try to keep this part short. Let's keep these things for real conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I meet people on my way and give them candies and lemonade.
Seriously I try to be as respectful as possible as a guest, I understand different ways of living and am easy to adapt to them so that the person who helps me out with a couch feels comfortable to do so, in a nice atmosphere.
I'm always ready to help hosts, travellers, and whoever else i can.
I will definitely give it back when I have my own place, for now I can play you some music and offer you a space in my tent if you are not too big or tall:P
