About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a place to settle. Enjoying life meanwhile!

ABOUT ME

Born in Venezuela, son of Italian with Spanish/Cuban, live in Belgium and work in the Netherlands for: Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, UK, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
I guess I earned the "Citizen of the world" title long time ago :)

PHILOSOPHY

Sunny, cloudy, snowy, rainy, everyday is beautiful and we should enjoy them. I think that being sad or depressed just because the sky is grey is soooo wrong.
Also from Alex Supertramp : "Happiness is only true when shared"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like going to new places and knowing people from there who can show you the real thing and not just the typical tourist places. I do the same thing, so whenever is possible I show people around the village I live in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only good ones so far, and "toco madera" for it to remain like that :)
