CURRENT MISSION

Pursue what makes me smile and find out where i'm going next...

ABOUT ME

I'm an extroverted person, energetic but can be very calm and introspective sometimes.

I love to travel and experiencing new things
Love meeting people and understand how others perceive life and the world!

I love a good long conversation about an interesting subject.

I'm caring, peaceful very independent and a bit excentric sometimes.
I hate hypocrasy and people that are too dependent and nervous. I can be very passionate when i'm speaking about subjects or oppinon that I disagree.

I think this are the basics to see if we will get along well or not

PHILOSOPHY

Experience life as much as I can, explore all the possibilities while trying to find what inspires my next step! I like deciding things randomly and motivate myself for different experiences.

Do good and expect good from others, never regret an option made, all mistakes are part of our evolution as human being (for good or bad).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found this project interesting mostly because i think it is suitable for those addicted to the "travelling spirit" because it allows you to travel even if you stay at home.Secondly because it's a network based on trust and believing in the wellbeing of others, values I thought where disapeering in XXI century human beings and that I feel really have to see that probably I was wrong.Finally because those XXI century human beings, specially those of big cities, work a lot and are more and more individualistic and isolated and i find this kind of project a good way to fight against that.

CS is good for your health!!! Ahahahahah You will become a more open person!!! I like that!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been to a lot of CS gatherings, espontaneous meetings in several european cities and in two international meetings in Portugal.I've hosted and surfed.I love it. I've had amaizing experiences with couchsurfing, had met very interesting people and even made good friends eventhough sometimes with big language barriers!
