About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live my day as it was the last one of my life!!! =)

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly guy that likes to meet people from all around the world. My dream is to travel all around and I just started doing it in 2010. I try to keep my hapiness as I have it right now.

PHILOSOPHY

No matter who or what, don't let anything ruin your day. Today we are alive, tomorrow ... we don't know that..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to spread the word with everyone about this proyect, since this is a good opportunity to meet people, learn more about cultures and get and share help with people that is traveling everywhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is the first time I'm going to do this...so, after an eperience I'll let you know about it.

Interests

I like to meet people from everywhere. And now that I travel more often, I found that is one option to do that. I love music, I think is an universal language and I'm always interested on listening a lot of music from everywhere. I like to play the guitar, the ukulele, go to concerts, go to the movies, and learn everything I find interesting everyday I'm living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done is to take the decision to travel by myself. Deifinitely, I think is the best option I have found to meet myself better. Thanks to my loneliness I know myself more, something essential to live a better life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think, each one of us have many interesting qualities. But well, speaking of Travels, for instance. I found very interesting the people who have been traveling for years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Helping people is one of the things I like the most. So if I can help with something in the house I'm stying during my trip that would be great. I enjoy washing dishes for instance. But anything is needed I will fo my best to help.
