About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Remembering last adventures...
Wondering where to go the next chance!!
Hoping to sense new feelings.

ABOUT ME

I try to be myself as much as it is possible, but I could fit in any situation changing my level of sarcasm and humour.
If I am kidding every two seconds, it means I feel great with you :)
Do not think I am not polite, actually I am without edge!

I can talk about many topics for a long time, as I love reading and learning any kind of stuff! So do not hesitate to speak about your speciality, I will love to learn from you! Whatever you are interested in, we can have a discussion :)

I feel fever passion for living. My goals are making a day life an adventure, leaving behind the routine and satisfying my curiosity wherever I go and even further :D

A bit more of me (apologies in advance for the long endless speeches :p)

PHILOSOPHY

My life philosophy is to encourage people surrounding me.
Life philosophy should be encouraging people surrounding you.
Philosophy must encourage people surrounding everyone.

You must forget about your life and live it!

"I do not care whether you are present or absent. Do not need you. I just love you."

"Find what you love and let it kill you."

"Parce que moi je rêve, moi je ne le suis pas..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I work as a tour leader guiding people in trips around Europe, but I can be also a perfect guide for you in the city I am living in, usually Madrid, the best city in the whole world:D

If it fits on my schedule and I am able to, I could be a kind *HOST*, as well :)

In case I am the *GUEST*, I am a confident and independent person, so I will not bother you if you do not have the time. But if you wanna show me the city around and hanging out or partying, it would be awesome and I will really appreciate it!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is being an incredible sharing of stories, knowledge and cultural stuff! But the best of it all is that human feeling exchange that makes you get goose pimples!

Interests

I love any kind of culture. Art is my passion, sports and music my dogma. I need humour in any situation, even the wrong and bad ones, hahaha...
I think travelling is a must in any life, getting to know different people's beliefs you will be able to understand why their thoughts are not as yours via your own empathy!
Each day you wake up is a chance to learn something new :)

This is a fast list I made up just thinking for a while. If we know each other, you will discover much more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have several traveling philosophies. It gives me the possibility of sinking on purpose sometimes and becoming shipwrecked who tries to survive reaching the shore somehow :D

I do not pay for accommodation or going to the bathroom.
It was harder before finding CS, but I managed myself (and still) to stay overnight wherever. It makes me challenge myself to achieve the goals in a harder way and worths the trip in a higher level. So I have stayed thousand times on the street in many cities all over Europe, America and Asia.

I travel by hitchhiking most of the times. I love to discover hidden places (and people) in the countryside or in the deep city.
I like doing juggling stuff once in a while to keep my trip on...

Filmed a doc around Northwestern Europe for almost a month with two friends of mine about how to survive with lack of money, recording how we moved, ate, drunk... We met a lot of interesting people and so incredible spots! Soon in the best movie theatres.

Improvised cycling for a week around Nederland and België under the worst meteorological conditions possible with no preparation at all, nor the bike and the technical stuff, nor myself.

Planned cycling for three weeks around the heart of Spain with heat, rain, mountains, street sleeping... with an almost broken old bike. Everything against me? No, I was by my own side ;)

Three months cycling along Europe from Helsinki to Madrid.
Three months cycling around Balkans, England, Ireland, Iceland and Southern Spain.
Both wild camping, busking and meeting wonderful people at every pedal I did.

Every trip I do by myself is a risky way of traveling from many points of view. Almost died several times and nobody knows why I am still pushing towards it, either me... On the other hand, I am a really calm and relaxed guy :D

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have already read my profile, I guess you have already figured out we can learn from each other anything possible.
I love going to museums and talks, so we can learn together, as well.
