About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Short term: have every experience possible. Mid term: Visit every country in the world. Long term: bring peace to the whole world

ABOUT ME

I'm a very active CS user. I've hosted more than 60 people in one month! And I've surfed in about 25-30 houses in Europe, Thailand, South America, Russia and the US and A.

The way I am is simple: very very relaxed about everything. Broke a glass? No big deal. Spilled coffee in your new cashmire blouse? No big deal. Lost your wallet with thousands in there? No biggie. Got a very bad day? No biggie. Didn't say thank you, good bye, sorry? That's perfectly fine.

It's very hard for me to get angry with somebody or to worry about something. When I host, I don't expect a gift, or you having to "be nice to me because I'm hosting you", or do anything that will not make you yourself.

If we connect, great. If we don't, that's great too.

PHILOSOPHY

If there is a problem, worrying won't solve it, just focus on solving it. If the problem has no solution, then what's the point of worrying?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host everyone that asks me to. No judgement. I host tons and tons of people :) I don't remember saying NO to anyone yet. I got hosted by so many beautiful people that I really feel I got to return that to somebody else.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in about 20 countries in Europe, in Thailand, Cuba, Argentina, USA, Russia. Hosted in Argentina. Hosted in California.

Interests

Triathlon.
Music, mainly playing drum set, listening to jazz and producing EDM.
Books.
Languages (studying russian right now. Next: french).
Travel all over the world. 166 countries left to see :)
I also have two more that are REALLY an every day enjoying: good quality CHOCOLATE AND TEA, and if they are rare-flavored that's better, I always love to try new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Ask a random woman in the street to take a picture of me... and 3 months later marrying her!
- 400km biking, 42km running, 10km swimming.
- Go to Europe without money and travel through 10 countries during 6 months.
- Hitchhiked in over 300 cars and tenths of thousands of kilometers in Europe, Thailand and South America (and ready for more!)
- An amazing thing I've done: forgive someone. If you are reading this, think of someone that you didn't forgive and take your ego away. To forgive is one of the most releasing experiences in life. To forgive is to love. And to love, is all.
