ABOUT ME

I´m a very sociable person. I like to travel to new places and meet people from different countries and cultures.
I enjoy hanging out with friends, making meals and drinks with them.
I love sports, specially football, beach volley and car´s races, as well as everything related with outdoors sports as I have been scout for over than 10 years.

PHILOSOPHY

Some phrases that sum up my philosphy
+Once the game of chess is finished, the king and the pawn come back to the same box.
+The forest would be very sad if only sing the birds that make it better.
+If you want your dreams come true you should not remain asleep.
+If you do not live to serve, not serve to live.

And my favourite:
We have not in our hands the solutions to the world's problems. But faced with the world's problems, we have our hands.
-----------------------------------------------------
Algunas frases que resumen mi filosofía+Una vez terminado el juego de ajedrez, el rey y el peón vuelven a la misma caja.+El bosque seria muy triste si solo cantaran los pájaros que mejor lo hacen.+Si quieres que tus sueños se cumplan no debes quedarte dormido.+Si no vives para servir, no sirves para vivir.And my favourite:No tenemos en nuestras manos las soluciones para los problemas del mundo. Pero frente a los problemas del mundo, tenemos nuestras manos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im on CS cause I like the philosophy of this cultural exchange at the same time that allows you to travel with a lower budget.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

.Couchsurfing Eurotrip 2014, two and a half month arround Germany, Czeck Rep, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia and Italy, with only 3 night in hostels.

.Travel around Egypt and his incredibles ancient sites and culture, is difficult to understand how a civilization so advanced in old times, ended in what is today, with so much poverty.

.Walk around the beautiful Vintgar Gorge in Slovenia, and swim like 30 seconds in their really cold water under the waterfall.

.Watch the night sky in "La pampa del leoncito" one of the three best places in the world to see the sky in the night. You cant imagine how much stars and shooting stars you can see from there, is amazing.

.Sunset at "Cafe del Mar" in Ibiza

.Being at the stadium in every important football derby that i could
River - Boca (Argentinian Derby)
Fernerbache - Galatasaray (Turkish Derby)
Barcelona - Real Madrid (Spanihs Derby)

.Winning a championship of driving races with my father after years of hard work and against big teams with more resources.
