CURRENT MISSION

If I can´t go to your place, bring me part of it, coming to mine.

ABOUT ME

An easy-going guy with few plans in life beyond enjoying it. An average man with culture thirst - the world, its peoples and histories, landscapes, economies - everything geography...
A sensible guy raised among engineers, mathematicians, physicists, economists and traders, with reasoning and senses always in contention.
Not qualified for judging about the misteries of life, the universe, or their supposed creator. A 'wise' man, learned of his own ignorance.

PHILOSOPHY

"Doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous." (Voltaire)
"I'm simply an accident. Why take it all so seriously?" (Emil Cioran)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted dozens of very special people and been hosted by some of my previous guests.I try to convert my CS experiences more into permanent than temporary links. I don't offer just a couch, but a friendship. I do not share just space, but rather moments.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since the date I joined the community I have hosted plenty of people, mainly from Europe and the Americas, and literally ALL my experiences were very good. The only bad thing about this project is that my work often obliges me to decline couch requests from people I would otherwise love to meet.
Up to the moment, my experience as a guest is none.

Interests

One of the things I like to do is to bike around and take pictures of my city from unusual angles, showing its beauty and its ugliness. Unfortunately I do not have much free time anymore. Previously I loved reading National Geographic, playing chess, listening to the music ... Now the little free time I have I dedicate to the people I like.
