CURRENT MISSION

Opening my mind, meeting people from different places, experience different point of view...

ABOUT ME

At first sight I'm a quiet person. I like listening to other people's stories and share mine when people show interest. I don't like to show off. I'm better at doing things than talking.
I'm a family doctor. Studies kept me really busy and now I have more time to enjoy life and experiences.
I also like to have fun, share crazy ideas and if possible actually make it happen!

PHILOSOPHY

I like this saying of Voltaire: "Je ne suis pas d'accord avec ce que vous dites, mais je me battrai pour que vous ayez le droit de le dire."
(I don't agree with you but I will fight for your right to express your views)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I promised myself never to give up on human nature. We all have our pits and falls but I make my best to look for something good in every person I meet. I try to be useful. Studying to become a doctor was one way. Couchsurfing is another way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had great experiences hosting and surfing. It's amazing how you travel when you host people you're not used to meet in your daily life. I surfed in Japan and it was great to meet local people. It's nice to have someone to teach you some culture and share meals or drinks without feeling like a tourist but feeling like you're visiting a friend. I was always surprised and went to places I wouldn't have been without my hosts, which made my travel special.
