About Me

CURRENT MISSION

None.

ABOUT ME

I am a drop carried by the wave of life, sometimes surfing it (the best times).

PHILOSOPHY

Work in progress.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to be a good cser, I often choose to surf new hosts couches, and I love cs, which is still the most important, no ?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend told me about CS just before I left France hitch hiking to Greece, it helped me in a fantastic way ! I always met lovely people whose seeds of generosity, love and confidence, had grown impressively big after doing their best with each couchsurfer they had met. And the cs experience resulted tasting really sweet.

Interests

I love dreaming. I like hitch hiking, sk8boards, sails, bikes, trains, any travel device really... Using wasted energy (like when hitch hiking). Infringing copyrights. I believe in abundance, giving away our fruits like the trees, free donations... So torrents are great.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be confident not scared, dont judge others but love them, feel that you are one with them, or one of them. If you love you will be safe. Street wise :)
Thats what I practiced when I was living in the said most dangerous place of Cumana, Venezuela for a year, not paying attention on the warnings that I was always given, sometimes walking back in the middle of the night...love and confidence are a good protection.
Feel at home. It reads on your face and it attracts better things than looking like a tourist.
