About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In short, getting to know myself, or something like that - travelling, reading, meeting people...

ABOUT ME

I'm open minded and really easy going. I love experiencing new things, reading, travelling, meeting different kinds of people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be and let be? Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle?

I live to experience things and to understand me and what surrounds me. Happiness is only possible through experience, because experience is the clue to understand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet people and just hang out, in my hometown or in theirs. And I also like to stay in people's couches. Right now I'm living abroad and I don't have a couch, so I can't invite anybody - but we can still have a beer or two!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've CouchSurfed only a couple of times, but it was a great experience. It taught me what real kindness is. I've also met some people just to hang out, and it was really cool too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was watching a football match with some friends in a pub in Barcelona. When the game ended, a friend's girlfriend said that somebody had stolen her handbag. Another friend that was out smoking came in and said that he had seen three guys with a handbag. Me and him we started following them. All the people that saw us running told us where the three thiefs. We shouted them to drop the handbag because there was no money inside. After ten minutes chasing them through Raval, a Barcelona quarter, they stoped. They had reached a dead end. Me and my friend where scared like shit, obviouly: we were two against three. Finally, my friend spoke: "Sorry, guys, have you seen somebody with a handbag?", he asked them. They answered "Oh, sorry, we didn't know that it was yours", and one of them gave the handback to us. We were as surprised as scared.
