About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling, discovering places and people to share new experiences with. Growing up.

ABOUT ME

I've had the good fortune to make several trips and know many places since childhood, without much money. I'm very grateful for that, it taught me to value people, moments and places.
This way of moving had become a lifestyle, travelling without luxury but enjoying the "comfort" of the experiences and life lessons learned.

PHILOSOPHY

* Moins de biens, plus des liens *

* We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one *

* Conjugar el verbo patria sin dejar de ser un ser universal *

“Un hombre puede creer o no creer, eso es cosa suya.
Es su propia vida la que apuesta por la fe, la incredulidad, el amor y la inteligencia.
Y no hay sobre la tierra otra verdad más grande para el espíritu humano que esta gloriosa y humilde condición.
El hombre arriesga su propia vida cada vez que elige y eso lo hace libre." - Maksim Gorki

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using Couchsurfing and its sister Bewelcome almost a decade ago, while doing an university exchange in France. Fortunately, the first experience was very enriching and I loved the host/guest spirit exchanging stories and experiences. I can proudly say that I discovered spectacular human beings, lifestyles, ways of traveling, of working, of thinking that made me grow personally and shaped myself as a human being.
When I have the opportunity to travel, I always keep an eye on hangouts and shared trips or locals who want to share time. When I'm on a site for a while, with the possibility of hosting, using CS (but not exclusively) I do it with great enthusiasm! I consider that having travelers at home is another way of traveling.
The balance is much more than positive! That's why I'm here
