CURRENT MISSION

My mission in life is to travel as much as I can, the smartest and most adventurous way as I can. Learn how to do with only the basics, more independent, more enthusiastic. I strive for a more broad view on this life, to detach from the mundane and to meet the most interesting people in the world, who have riches in experiences and not necessarily a penny in their name!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because there is no better way to know a place and know the world than to meet complete strangers and know both their struggles and their fun adventures around the world. I believe that this is not possible if you stay at a hotel where detachment and aloofness is usually the norm between strangers.

Interests

I love flying, as I'm a pilot. I am crazy about the whole traveling experience, from packing to walking around. This year I have found a special interest in venturing into unknown experiences. I like the idea of not knowing what will come and what will happen. My biggest interest is to pursue the freedom that I have found to come many times when you have no money, no place to stay and no one to help you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the Northern Lights in Helsinki on a very rare occasion where they were visible so far south!

I have been traveling around for jobs with people I didn't know, learned from them and grown throughout this year.

I have been to places where I never thought I would go... like Russia! This was by far my favorite experience so far. Not knowing the language and not many people to communicate with by speech but being able to sort something out and seeing how not impossible communication is when both parties are interested. Realizing that the media and the rivalries of the world can make us have a very wrong idea of a community and a country.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Travel brings power and love back into your life" - Rumi

Fernweh - an ache for distant places; the craving to travel

We spend so much time trying to be pretty. Lets be pretty kind. Pretty selfless. Pretty generous. Pretty empathetic. Pretty happy. Pretty strong.

I can teach you Spanish. I show you how the fact that my country is the most violent in the world, doesn't mean that everybody is bad. In fact, the majority is very good. I can show you how we dance and what music we listen to. I can learn about your country, your experiences and your culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a warm meal and a huge smile. An insightful and broad talking companion. A dance buddy and a drinking buddy as well.
