About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a mission

ABOUT ME

I'm a learner and as a consequence I'm a traveller, I love to dive into new cultures and see what everyone has to offer. Therefore I'm a good listener and respectful.
Although I'm always doing something (30-hour days needed here!) I'm pretty laid-back and keep calm under pressure and in stressful situations. I'm also very open to new things and driven to pursue goals, even in the long run, when the finish line cannot yet be spotted.
And last but not least, I'm in love with the Sea and open spaces and pretty passionate about kitesurfing, sailing and the feeling of freedom experienced just looking at the Sea.

PHILOSOPHY

What can be bought with money is not expensive. (Hopefully this makes sense in English as it does in Spanish...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm going slowly so far, I have surfed a couple of times, gone to a CS meeting in Chch while traveling and as soon as I get a couch I will start hosting :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just starting up...

Interests

Too many interests for such a short life and still I'm convinced that I've not enough... I LOVE the ocean, it gives me a feeling of freedom that is difficult to explain! Therefore I love sailing and kitesurfing (beginner at surf), I'd like to learn how to dive, that must be also great!
In winter I switch to snow and when I'm far from both of them I enjoy tennis and my motorbike :-)

And that's only the beginning...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love series!! Grey's Anatomy, Dexter, House M.D, Lost, HIMYM... As far as movies are concerned my top 3 are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 500 days of summer and Avatar but I must admit that I'm totally ignorant in this matter :-/

I've start reading books written by guys that have sailed accross the globe and share their experiences... I may write mine one day!! (Hopefully!!)

Music: I'm open to any kind of music. Maybe you can show me something new to include in my player!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Something amazing I've seen...

The Sky when there's no civilization whatsover around! So many stars!

Dolphins swimming at the bow of a sailboat, playing with the waves...

Driving my motorbike while listening to music... looong trips!

A sunny day in the mountains, everything covered with fresh powder...

And that's just the beginning ;)

Wanna see and do much more!
