CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life as it comes, working to get money and travel

ABOUT ME

To discover by yourself when you come to luxemburg and if don't come, I would say, easygoing, friendly, helpfull and outgoing.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short, so I enjoy each day as it would be the last one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Many people see Luxemburg as a 1 day trip, which is wrong, at least 2 days would be necessary to see a bit more than just the city. Best time to come Wednesday till Saturday, Sunday everything is closed, just hoping for nice weather so I can take you out of the city and show you a bit more than the traditional mediaval stones from the capital. I like to go out and dance and like to share it. Depending on the music you like, I take you to the right place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I would say, the references talk for themselfs. I normaly host more than I get hosted, but , as I don't want to disturb anybody, I rather take an hotel or airbnb.

Interests

Meeting new people and share the stories I already had in my life. Take somebody for a motorbike ride. Introduce a person to the night photography.. Talk about how relaxing diving can be and how the silence and the beauty of the watching fishes can act to a person.

I used to do some climbing but you need a trustworth partner to do it, so I keep it on hold. I'm not affraid of canyoning nor rafting, jumps from 9m are fine.
I kept the best for the end, photography, who became a passion, started with black and white in a dark room and now digital and now, concert photography. Instragram joaval74

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Japan,Nagasaki,we had the pleasure to meet the portugies ambassador.
In Morocco, we took an hitchhiker who was a biduin, he invited us to his family for tea and we went afterwards to the desert and spent the night with some cousins,he told us about their way of life.
Another man in Morocco, teacher, who showed us his small village and afterwards showed us an oase in the south.
In Sultana of Oman,our dive instructor took us to his home, we had delicious food, we went with his children to the hospital for eyes check, and, when we were waiting outside with one of them, an omanian family invited us for tea.
In Venezuela we celebrate new year with a venezuelan old couple, we had a really great evening.
Not long time ago, I met an libanese guy in Jordan who finished his studies in NYC, remain in the country as US citizen, and was working in Baghdad as civilian. It was really interesting to get his opinion about their day to day in war zone.
