About Me

I'm a simple and relaxed guy that like to enjoy life. I did my first trip in 2015 and I loved it. Since that, the thing I want the most is to travel the world, visit amazing places and meet people whose stories deserve to be heard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's such a easy and honest way of giving and receiving. It's always good to hear stories and share experiences with people that share the samedate the same a simple and ho Usually people on Couchsurfing are people with an open mind, with you can really have a good conversation. Sometimes I ask people what they gain by staying in a Hotel and I try to explain my way of thinking. A night in a Hotel can be equal in Asia, Europe, America, ... and it's easy to forget. But a good talk with a person that live in a totally different way of you, that have so much stories to tell and so different things to teach you is difficult to forget. Besides I think the locals are the best persons to tell you what to do on surrounding areas. They will know the best places to eat, to visit, the best places to chill or to go out at night.

Interests

I really enjoy the nature. Be on top of a mountain and knowing that I did it by myself is the best feeling that I can have. Besides, descovering new things, new people and new places are the thing that motivate me to travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm the guy that listen almost all the music styles. Mainly I like to listen Indie folk / rock/ alternative. If i go to a concert I will like to listen a good old rock band. With the right spirit and a few beers an eletronic festival could be very cool as well. Although, for me the Rap and HipHop songs have the best lyrics. As you see I'm not hard to please.

Biography, drama, crime, adventure, thriller, comedy... I like to watch a good movie no matter the style...except terror. I like to have a good night of sleeping ahah

Adventure and biography are my favourite styles of reading. Although I have spent more time watching TV Shows than reading on the last years. But while travelling a good book is a very good friend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On 2016 I crossed from the Norway west coast to Sweden east coast alone and was an amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I thing the most important is to share because by talking we are always learning. I like a lot to know different cultures and now I have a very big interest in different languages and it's a thing that i will certainly do in a near future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I can share everything but probably the most interesting stories are about my trips or the time when I was a cyclist rider and raced two world junior championships.
