Algo increíble que he hecho

I can only say that the ONE amazing thing I have done or seen is to have survived thus far in the adventure I have come to know as MY LIFE. If it is true that "if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger", then I've become invincible.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I am the Dean of Couchsurfing University, a school where everyone's a student and everyone's a teacher. Surfing isn't just about a place to sleep. It's about exchange. From esoteric knowledge to practical skills, we all have special knowledge that others will benefit from knowing. I contribute to strengthening the quality of this wonderful community. Teach. Learn. Share. Let's do this.
