About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Current mission: live a great life! keep travelling.

ABOUT ME

I'm in favor of new cooperations' systems. We have to find new ways to live, sharing resources and developping networks that surpass the capitalistic world in which we are evolving.
I don't like mass consumption and even less waste and believe in the importance of the simplicity and sobriety. BY the way I'm a sea person, let's go scuba diving, having a boat trip or just hanging out on the beach!
Couchsurfing based on real values like being aware of daily experiences, opening our minds on world's issues and just having great times sharing talks, thoughts and cultural moments with people from different horizons.

PHILOSOPHY

Anyone have the right to live his life the way he wants it to be, as long as we are respecting others and try not to do anything to hurt them.

El movimiento se demuestra andando! andamos!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've known couchsurfing for years and in a way i was experiencing it with people i've met travelling and with whom i've kept in touch without belonging to the network.

My first real "couchsurfing" experience was in Rio de Janeiro. It was incredible, not only the city but the shared time with my host and the possibility to discover a new way of travelling too. This person has becomed one of the great friend i have, after showing me how couchsurfing could gather people from all around the world together and makes you travel even in your own country, he went backpacking himself and visited me in Paris. I can't wait to go to brazil to see him again! (-, And keep travelling to cross again the road of all those interested person I've met through CS.
