CURRENT MISSION

Only one life left

ABOUT ME

I love chocolate. I like sweet things but I couldn't add sugar to Cola Cao!

I hate coriander. Fortunately that nasty, parsley disguised herb is not commonly used in Spanish cooking.

I've been vegetarian for five years. Currently omnivore again.

PHILOSOPHY

Frugality (we are lots) and respect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mainly through nearby groups, joining and suggesting meetings and activities. I also started using CS when traveling to meet new people. It's fantastic to go to an unknown place and meet locals to share good moments and really traditional and authentic, non-touristic ways of life and philosophies.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met lots of different people so far through nearby groups and also when traveling and I have to say that my experience couldn't have been more diverse and positive. Curiously, I've found a great degree of commonalty in almost all of the CS members, in the sense of extroversion and willingness to gain new experiences.Experience (strict only):Mar 10 - Met (when in Gran Canaria, Spain)Suna (Turkey)Mar 10 - Met (when in Gran Canaria, Spain)Nayra (Spain)Jul 10 - Met (in Haro, Spain)David and Brian (USA)Aug 10 - Hosted (in San Sebastian, Spain)Anne and Anne (Germany)Sep 10 - Met (when in Lisbon, Portugal)Sam (England)Sep 10 - Met (in Logroño, Spain)Elvira (Spain)Jun 11 - Hosted (in Haro, Spain)Liz and Nikki (USA)Jun 11 - Hosted (in Haro, Spain)Alexis (Australia)Jack (England) and Nic (Australia)Karen (England)Jul 11 - Hosted (in Haro, Spain)Mark (USA) and Carlos (Spain)Aug 11 - Surfed (when in Oslo, Norway)Kjersti (Norway) (not met in person)Aug 11 - Surfed (when in Oslo, Norway)Rasmus (Germany)Sep 11 - Surfed (when in Järna, Sweden)Romuald (Lithuania) and Petra (Sweden)Sep 11 - Surfed (when in Eindhoven, Netherlands)Ruth (Netherlands)Sep 11 - Surfed (when in Amsterdam, Netherlands)Sachy (India)Dec 11 - Hosted (in Haro, Spain)Joe (USA) and Anne-Claire (France)Feb 12 - Hosted (in Haro, Spain)Giovanna and Isadora (Brazil)May 12 - Hosted (in Haro, Spain)Jaclyn (USA)Jul 12 - Met (in Haro, Spain)Neus (Spain)Jul 12 - Met (when in Segovia, Spain)Mauro and Marre (Spain)Aug 12 - Hosted (in Haro, Spain)Anna (Poland)Nov 12 - Met (when in Santander, Spain)Marian and Laura (Spain)Nov 12 - Met (when in Tenerife, Spain)Irina (Russia)Nov 12 - Met (when in Tenerife, Spain)Arturo (Venezuela)Dec 12 - Surfed (when in Santander, Spain)Marian (Spain)Apr 13 - Met (when in Kyoto, Japan)Sachiko (Japan)May 13 - Met (when in Yokohama, Japan)Kenya (Japan)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Created my first videogame and got it published at an early age.Scuba diving in the Caribbean, is like diving inside an aquarium.Sang karaoke in a crowded pub in Manchester, in English! (I was drunk).Went to a concert inside a church in Liverpool with a barrel of beer.Seen Nærøyfjord (narrowest fiord in the world) from Bakkanosi mount in Norway.Waited for the sunset in the kaluts in Iran.Slept in a capsule in Tokyo.Walked the Colca Canyon in Peru, second deepest in the world.Seen the sunset magical colors over a dune in the Atacama Desert in Chile.Walked around the Independence Square in Kiev just after the anti-government protests.Traveled by train across Russia in the cold winter.Seen the sunset shining the ice at Neva's shore in Saint Petersbourg.Drank vodka till death in New Year's Eve in a small town in the middle of Russia.Traveled across Morocco laughing all the time and climbed Toubkal, highest peak in North Africa, with two amazing friends.Climbed Teide, highest peak in Spain, after partying all night long and no sleep.Walked through the jungle to Machu Picchu....but I haven't seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, nor watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate (geek, geek!).

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe my secret super-power is programming. I was born with a silver *computer* in my mouth, so I could try to help you in that matter if you need advice. Apart from that, I'm a constant ignorant, but I keep trying...
