About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try not to lose all my stuff during my travels

ABOUT ME

I´m a person with a lot of different interests: I like sports like climbing, snowboarding, swimming, hiking... but I can also enjoy reading a book or watching theatre or a movie. One moment I´m laughing till I cry and screaming from excitement, and the next moment I´m really quiet...
Most of all, I like to be outside, sitting together with friends, party, tell stories, listen to stories...
And o yeah, almost forgot: I like all kind of animals, except those who bite, sting or otherwise hurt me...

PHILOSOPHY

Even a stupid clock is right, twice a day!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was deeply impressed by some natural wonders I´ve seen during my travels, like the waterfalls of Iguazu, Valle de la Luna in San Pedro de Atacama in Chile, Grand Canyon in the USA, the Galapagos Islands... A few of my most amazing experiences were living with different families in villages on the countryside of Senegal, climbing a mountain of 6000 m in Bolivia (yes I made it!), having close eyecontact with a manatee while snorkeling in Belize, falling in love with a see lion in Galapagos,vhitchiking all around Cuba and meeting all this lovely and crazy local people and fellow travelers from all over the world...

Teach, Learn, Share

Most people go traveling to a certain destination to see spectacular things the´ve always wanted to visit, but in a lot of cases it´s not the destination in itself, but the people you meet during your travels that make your trip worthwhile. The most things you learn and the best memories you´ll keep, are often from other travelers and local people you meet, so keep on couchsurfing!
