About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding one...

ABOUT ME

I like doing as many things as I can. I enjoy driving around just to see new places. I'm all for learning and that's what my life is about... I ask a lot of questions.

PHILOSOPHY

(2009) Enjoy yourself... live as much as you can and as happy as you can: it's your responsibility and only yours... I think that good things don't happen to good people, but to happy people; after all, we're the ones in charge of giving meaning to whatever happens to ourselves. That the glass is half filled only depends on the way you see it...

(2019) Still think the same, its all about thinking how things can be better and then work towards that goal. Always trying to be an optimist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

host and being hosted

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

just great...

Interests

Anything I can learn something of...I've realized that i'm not so much into anything in particular, but at the same time i will get interested in most things. I love seeing how things work. If you show me something, and start talking about how it works, explain and have a bit of patience, i'll very likely just become interested in it. The other thing im usually good at is finding relations between stuff. So whatever it is that im seeing im very likely going to find a way to relate it to myself. That has made me feel really close to people and anything i get in touch with. So yes... pretty much everything.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading, but would rather go out and do something other than read some times. movies: I like pretty much anything that comes in front of me (I haven't figured out yet what kind of movies i like because i like everything I see hehe...) Joaquin Sabina is the best spanish songwriter...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

(2013) I was in a psychoanalysis process for about 4 years. It was the hardest thing i've ever been trough. The most amazing thing i've seen is change in myself. powerful, meaningful, and unbelievable painful change. I doubt there is anything else more amazing, because at the end of it, i was someone different and my life changed completely.

(2019) Still in process, still asking questions, still wandering. The idea of progress is the most important one in the history of humanity.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to hang out with my surfers. Dont stay here if youre only going to use my house as a free hostel. If you request and i can host you show up. I will try to make time for you in my schedule, so the least you can do is let me know if you are not coming anymore.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bed. A good talk. I can show you around if you have time.

I like to hang out with my surfers. I do work a lot however and it is a bit hard aswell. I dont want people that use my house as a hotel, if you will do that, just dont stay here. There are tons of cheap hostels in the city. Since i do have lots of thing to work on I usually wont be able to be with any surfer in my workhours. The kind of surfers that should stay here should be:

Clean: use deodorant or take a shower. Bad smells can stick around. Just be clean.

Independent: I will usually be abke to give you a ride or direct you to places in the city, even if i cant come with you. It is nice to have people that can move on their own and not feel like they depend on me to actually do something.

Know the CS spirit: in spite of liking independent people ill try to host you only if i know that ill be able to spare some time to be with the surfer. I dont like people that use this place as a hotel or dont actually hang around with me when it is possible. I like to get to know my surfers and travel a bit through them.
