CURRENT MISSION

Make the most out of life with constant and never-ending improvement!

ABOUT ME

I am still quite new to CS but I look forward to meeting new people and learning my way around this city.

A positive person always aiming to improve and learn. I aim to live productively keeping sight of the magic around us.

I am an actor and you can watch most of my work in YouTube by simply typing my name: Javier Alcina. I am also a translator, interpreter, voice-over and Chen Style Tai-Chi Chuan instructor.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a dream, a mystery not always to be solved... and far too short to spend it away complaining.
Always try to see the best in others, they are just as scared as you are.
Make the most of today... there might not be a tomorrow.
Better to trust and occasionally be disappointed than to mistrust and be miserable all the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy meeting new people, sharing experiences, following this dream: leaving behind us a better world than the one we found.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
