CURRENT MISSION

Live abroad for a while. Might just come true!

ABOUT ME

It wasn't until about four years ago that I found how great travelling is. Since then I visited a few countries and gathered countless priceless memories there.

I'm an easy-going person that hates when there's nothing going on. I tend to be really hard-working but I'll always find time to relax with some friends of mine.

PHILOSOPHY

Live each day to the fullest. Work hard to get a good job you enjoy but make sure you have a few days off every now and then. Spend the money you earn on fun things: travelling, hobbies, drinking and a girlfriend of course. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I stayed with a few hosts and I'd like to try hosting some people myself now. Let me know if you're interested!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Even though it's not reflected in my account's history, I've been granted couch quite a few times. Check out my girlfriend's (Basia) account if you don't believe me - she has all the references. :)

Each stay was a great experience to me! I've never met so many extraordinary people. It seems that CouchSurfing attracts a very particular crowd, one that I really enjoy.

Whether it's a blues man in a mountain hut, a fellow programmer and at the same time a former soldier or a beginning English speaker from Colombia with a Catalan spirit, I'm proud I had an opportunity to meet them all. :)

Interests

Apart from travelling, I'm really fond of music and board games. I love many genres of music but I enjoy heavier bands the most. I used to play electric guitar myself - just google "jellosea"! I still have the gear at my place. :) I've seen countless live shows of almost every band I admire and I'm a dedicated ticket collector. :)

Lately, I got into board games and have a small collection already. I really enjoy playing those with my friends and will gladly play a game with you, if you're interested that is. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to name one event but a night spent with an Armenian family met when we were hitch-hiking was surely an unforgettable experience.

I also enjoyed playing in a band when I was younger. Doing some live shows, recording an album, a lot of cool memories. :)

I'm also quite proud of being considered a co-author of a certain music player called Clementine (http://www.clementine-player.org/).
