About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Looking for my inner peace... what is what it is?
ABOUT ME
I grew up in Patagonia Argentina and since 2001 I am living in Spain. Since then, I moved out-in several times, in Barcelona, Madrid, Ibiza, and mainly, in Almería. Almería was like a base-launcher all this time.
Most of the time, I was looking for an ideal place to live... big cities or small villages... seaside or countryside... first or third world countries... Finally, a little tired, I have decided to rest for a while here, looking for my inner peace.
PHILOSOPHY
One life is not enough... life is too short!!!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I come from a hospitality-needed land: Patagonia. Where, next town is at least 300 kilometers. I grew up traveling along this routes, in always-breakables cars, with easy-flat tires, easy-overheated radiators, running out of gas, etc, etc... and always some truck help you to reach next town.
My father taught me to help and pick up hitchhikers because he was a hitchhiker too. As well, he taught me to notice how great is the thankfulness of a helped person.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
This is my first time in CS, but before that, a few time ago, I have been using hospitalityclub.org, where I had the opportunity to host a french girl, very friendly and nice... And another occasion, my girlfriend and me spent ten days in Budapest hosted for two persons, it was a wonderful trip! they were very very nice hosts!
