About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to get a grip on my fate. I'm thirtysomething and it's about time I learn to walk on my own

ABOUT ME

Bla bla bla... I'm just a regular guy with a taste for fine movies, world music, russian psychology, anthropology, darwinism, solidarity and dry flowers.

PHILOSOPHY

"when the going gets weird, the weird gets pro" this is not mine of course it's a quote by Hunter S. Thompson

"The map is not the territory" by RAW

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will be hosting travellers in Barcelona

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive stayed with guests through CS when I was traveling around South America. I met Miguel in Cusco, Clari in Puerto Maldonado, Vinicius in Cuiaba, Julieta in Sao Paulo, Lucia and Braian in B Aires, Stephi and Gustavo in Santiago, Ludwig in La Paz. To all of whom I'm hugely thankful for their kindness.

Interests

I practice boxing and cycling. I read books, go for walks around the city, watch documentaries and movies of all sorts (not too interested in blockbusters though sometimes they can give you a pleasant surprise). I listen to music constantly, I never wear a watch, I measure time in songs, albums and discographies.
