CURRENT MISSION

Hopeless dreamer and adventurer.

I believe in taking chances, so I am living around the world one city at a time, moving into a new country every 2 or 3 months, learning its culture, its persons, its language understanding better that we are all the same.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy life as much as i can, and life seems to respond very well to that. All about me i'm extroverted, i love living outdoors and meeting new people. There is nothing as exciting as experience new cultures and learning from everything, like the best hidden awesome places in a surprising city to the deepest reasons people can become incredible. I wanna live beyond the obvious, beyond the normal and the common.

PHILOSOPHY

I shall go trough this earth only once, and I will make the most of it wherever and whenever i go. Happiness is my way and wisdom my mission. (and laugh is a good oil for it)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is no better way to get to know a place, than with someone who lives in it. Places are made almost entirely by the people you meet in them and the experiences you have there. Among all the crazy stories i have, many of them involve amazing couchsurfers.

Interests

I love Travelling, photography, technology, Running, Writting, acting, businesses and making people smile. Deep conversations are always the best, but light talks with interesting people are also fantastic.

Don't get me started on politics, economics and society, we might just end up having a fun debate!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love electronic music, specially House and Chillout , but also rock makes me move! Still i basically dance to almost every song out there!

My favorite book is Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently i ended up breaking into an abandoned soviet school at the artic circle in the north of Russia, boy was that fun and cold!

I've seen a lot of human life (as cliche as it might sound), i've seen and share with thousands of different persons who have crossed my path. I am still impressed by all that the world has showed to me, and all that is there yet to see.

I was a volunteer for a NGO that builds houses for extremely poor people for 3 years. It taught me quite a great deal about our world state.

Well, if you promise not to tell anyone i'll tell you how i end up dating an Arab princess, which end up in her family sending someone to chase me across Europe...

So many good stories of things that happened while travelling in every continent, i promise you will have a good laugh about the one with the red Audi or the one blowing dinamite in the silver mine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach survival lessons on Spanish, basic photography, and latin dancing!, specially salsa. Also i can solve mostly any technology related problem.
I love to learn how to cook local food and a lot of local history!, however i am open to everything

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, words and a lot of energy!
