About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life at my best with those I love. Contribute. Help others.

ABOUT ME

I am a gentle, sensitive, easy-going and down to earth person, whom enjoys hanging-up and taking good care of my friends and family.
I love music (in most of its forms and styles), travelling (probably the best way to exercise ones freedom), photography, movies, literature and politics.
I´m very curious and consider myself a cosmopolitan and open-minded guy, so I generally have a great time talking for hours about life in all its wonderful complexity.

PHILOSOPHY

Truth and love.
Family and friends always come first.
Life is worth to be lived, but sometimes it`s gonna suck, so enjoy the ride and keep your loved ones as close as you possibly can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love opening my home to CSers every time I have enough time to share with my host.
CS should not be, I think, just a way of traveling on a low budget-basis. But a much more significant way of experiencing people, cultures and places... So I try to contribute on this level.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´m just getting started, but already very happy to have met such amazing people.

Interests
