CURRENT MISSION

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, optimistic, spontaneous, I don´t want to get stuck with too many material things, I want to see something of this beautiful world

PHILOSOPHY

Serenity... accept the things you can't change and change the things you can change!

Be aware of the tiny things: the flavor of lotus and rain on hot stone, mind-picture-moments, a warm welcome back hug at the airport, laughing till your tommy hurts...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met great people and shared some enriching hours with them talking, cooking some traditional meals, seeing places you normally won't see.
