About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live the simple things in life, using all the senses and enjoy people and nature.

ABOUT ME

At first, I'm not a good writer neither I cannot explain things very well, although not this question. The way I feel is like I have love in me and I want to share it with everyone! I've got a enorm respect for nature and I try to live as green as possible, only driving with my panda is my worst sin... but I like to travel by car.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once. The time is now. Do what you want and like the most to do. And keep searching till you find what you need. And try to smile as much as possible and to give people compliments, it makes them shine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've got this attraction to the unknow, I'm very curious and it's my drive when people say or do things at the right time and the right place. I hope with the CS project to know even more people, the more diversity, the better. I love to invite people, making life as much comfortable as can be.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At first I only had kind of travel experiences with people I've met on the street or through people who offered me a place and which was amazing!
Now, doing my trip to Andalucia, I met fantastic people in France (Brest - Nantes - Bordeaux) so i 'm really enjoying it!

Interests

In highschool I've studied free arts. It was an amazing time, I love painting and want to bring it back in my life. I love mountains, to walk, ski or just lay on it. I love music, can't live without it. I like to hang out on different places with friends or alone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the amazing opportunity to live with an indigenous family in Bùa, Ecuador. It made me rich in the way that I learned a lot of myself, the culture I've grown up with, every each member of that family and their culture and how those two connect and what the effects can be.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think if you get along with people you always learn something from each other, even not knowing it.
