CURRENT MISSION

Live to the fullest, I'm a YES person, there is no need to have everything thought about, sometimes we just have to do it.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open mind and easy going person, very friendly... I'm looking for making new friends, visiting new places and discover the authenticity of other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Some kind of failure always occurs before success, that being said, i live to fail and succeed and learn with every new experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing so I can know like minded people, be able to connect with locals and find out how they really live escaping from the tourist type visit.

I wanted to return home with the mind full of memories of the people and afterward the places.

Interests

I love sports (rafting, kite surf, hiking, swimming, running and bike), listen to music, go out with friends and travel. I am eager to try new things.

Love to watch TED talks, I find them inspiring.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love cinema, all kind of movies, war movies (Save Private Ryan, Schindler's list, The Pianist,...), animation (Ice Age, Shrek), this list could go on forever.
I love reading great stories, the books can work the imagination where the movies fail (The God formula, The girl with the dragon tattoo,..).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped of an airplane,
Went to the Youth World Camp (in Chile) with 14 years old without knowing anyone,
Made a 2 day trekking journey alone in a Natural Park where there are packs of wolfs,
Climb the highest mountain in Portugal (Pico) alone and slept there,

....

Hope to increase this list soon.. hahah.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new things, from history, culture and something interesting and trivial about another living. I like to share or teach my knowledge with anyone eager to learn and listen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good experiences, conversation and I love to make people laugh. Happiness is only real when shared, I would like to included the hosts as part of my journey. I will invite them to join me in whatever activities I plan to do.
