About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveler/Student
I quit my job.. after almost nine years of hard work.. and now I am continuing with my adventure, the adventure of life!.

ABOUT ME

In a nutshell (the little bunny is saying we dont´t have time): I am a happy person, I am charmed with knowing the details of the world that surround us; not hotels, not luxuries, I live of smiles and of light suitcases. I expect to be able to give him the return to this wonderful planet and to communicate with the universal language of the laugh to be able to achieve it. I do not understand all the languages, but surely we will be able to communicate.

I am the kind of person who likes to see the details that other just ignore. I am engineer with the soul of an artist and that is why when I am not traveling I am developing (engineer word) my creative brain.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is really short to live in a routine. Nice people come to me and make a better release of me. I am traveling to probe that the world has so much kindness that make you shiver. Learning every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am searching to share with cultures around the world, who want to adopt me for a few days in his house. I promise not to be a nuisance.

I would love going out to walk and take a few good photos, considering it as the best souvenirs of my trips. I am not good at kitchen.. oh!.. wait a moment.. yes I can wash the dishes :), but I am sure that I can share in many ways with you. Some of my best friends are the result of this beautiful network.

Interests

Movies, peace, photography, I am a eco (environmental) friend. But most of all, I love to go by the world taking some pictures and collecting good histories and friends. What is the life if is not just the collection of moments and experiences that you have had?

People change but memories don´t. Sing a beautiful song everyday; smile and hug it is for free.
