About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Well, opportunities arise, to take or not to take ...that is the question

ABOUT ME

If i could be any animal it would be a dolphin...not so original i know...but really, they get to frollock in unknown vast oceans, have sommersalt competitions, large families a huge social network and they surf.

PHILOSOPHY

Well....
life can be measured in the difference it makes in others.
I mentioned before...treat how you want to be treated
Everything in moderation...although im not sure if i so good at this one.
Learn from mistakes
Give without expectations
Share positive energy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By sharing, encouraging, giving a spare hand when needed....pretty much treating others how i like to be treated.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started in South America which was 3 years ago, I have met so many wonderful people through surfing and hosting experiences. Great like minded people.

Interests

Water sports, board sports, team sports...are the physical interests.

Exploring; to see what is around the corner, meeting strangers that become friends, different insights, and self educating.

Live music, theatres, impromtu situations, heated discussions that are actually heard rather than told, learning from others and their wise words.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Instead of saying what heights i pushed myself to do, views i saw, places i´ve been... i think my highlights are always the people i´ve met, insights to their lives, different mentalities stemed from different cultures and bright smiles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I´d like to try to speak Spanish when surfing, I´m happy to entertain myself but I´d also like to do as one would in a day of their life
I´d love any suggestions or recommendations.
I´m willing to share anything that someone sees is worth while
