Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed several houses around the world, and hosted in Spain/Chile/U.K. as well... CS has changed a lot in the last few years but I still think that, when used properly, it's a really good way to travel and meet like-minded people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met people (true like-minded people) around the Globe I would have never met if it hadn't been for CouchSurfing.

Interests

Scuba diving, swimming, snorkelling, kayaking (anything in the ocean!), ART (Photography, Painting, Stamping, writing...), MUSIC (I could NEVER live without music....I can play a few chords on the guitar/ukelele/piano here and there and jam a bit + viola player), Cycling, Hiking, Trekking, Camping ...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Jazz, Reggae, D&B, Classical music, Indie, Folk (I love getting to know music from other countries, at the moment, a lot from north-western Africa and South America)...Some artists I love: Alt-J, GoGoPenguin, Tinariwen (Mali), Laguna Pai (Peru), Fatoumata Diawara (Mali), The Weave (Liverpool), Manu Chao, Andrew Bird, Radiohead, Spinetta (Argentina)...

People/Authors : (obsessed with) Wes Anderson, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs (and others from The Beat Generation), Steve McCurry (my photography guru), Sebastião Salgado (another photography guru), Thomas Peshack, Mark Twain, Virginia Woolf...

Teach, Learn, Share
