About Me

I'm an explorer who loves adventure in every possible way, through human communication, cultural experiences and interacting with nature. I'm very easy going, respectful and grateful and I find that traveling is one of the most precious things we can do in our lives.
I worked as a film composer for about 10 years, know I'm beginning to study contemplative psychotherapy.
I travel a lot with my girlfriend Alina, we've been together for 13 years and made our first trip, a 4-month backpacking adventure to Europe, about 10 years ago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's a great opportunity to interact with the people of the world in a closer, richer and deeper way.
Of every trip I've made, the most special memories are the ones that involve sharing adventures and experiences with other people. Couchsurfing gives us this amazing opportunity to connect and make us closer to each other, I'm really grateful of the many special people I've met by traveling this way.

Interests

The universe, human consciousness and human relationships, Buddhism and contemplative practices such as mindfulness and yoga. Aesthetics and beauty in everything: from nature to architecture, films, music... All sort of experiences and adventures, rock climbing, free diving, stand up paddle, mountaineering, hiking, camping in the wilderness and everything outdoor.

Music, Movies, and Books

As Duke Ellington would say: "There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ..." And I believe that works for every art form. I'm very open in terms of generes and styles and love discovering new stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing a 25 meter rock wall without a rope in Meteora, Greece. It was really crazy and I would never do it again but it was amazing for shure!

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning about everything and sharing and listening experiences and unique ways of interpreting the world.
I can teach Spanish, piano, rock climbing and mindfulness.

What I Can Share with Hosts
