About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep accumulating knowledge and experience that I will use to get more knowledge and experiences

ABOUT ME

My official identity is "social researcher" as that is what gets me food and housing every month. Otherwise, I love music, I've played bass for a while now, I lvoe writing and doing sports. I am a bit of the opinion that you are what you do and doing those three things make a lot easier for my life to advance satisfactorily.

PHILOSOPHY

You have and need to do what you feel in every moment, there is no universal rules, just one: respect the other people and avoid them suffering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host whenever I can and I try to surf whenever I need. I occasionally participate in some events if I have the time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met lots of people through couchsurfing. Some of them I will never know about them again, some of them are now my best friends and we share many things even if we are far from each other. My CS experience is about relationships and happenstance: sending the right message to the right person in the right moment can change your life.
