About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Believe in those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it." A. Gide..

ABOUT ME

It's difficult to describe myself, and I think that others should do it, but anyway I'll try.

I guess that I´m a strange person, in the one hand sometimes I can be fairly bizarre and in the other hand a little shy when I don´t meet the peoples.
I have always considered a maverick, and I have never been too concerned what others think and political correctness, so I try to follow my own path and trying to find my own answers.
And finally the only thing I discovered is that the only knowledge that listening to people.

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling means experiencing the most extraordinary things you are sure to remember for a lifetime .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have written a novel.
One year ago, I was in a shipwreck to 50 metres deep, and once I was going out the cinema and I saw like a buffalo get away from a near circus and pounce on me to crash me.
I suppose that I had a good stroke of dust!!
