About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It's been a while since I enjoyed couchusurfers hospitality during my travels around all Latin America. Now the time has come to try to pay it back so if you go by my hometown, you're very welcome to my place.

ABOUT ME

I am like no other, unique as everybody.
I'm active, positive, optimistic, calm, equable, peaceful, curious, respectful and rather organised.
I'm patient but I don't like to wait.
I'm modest and mostly thrifty but I'm often generous.
I don't like phone calls, personal contact is much better.
I like to travel, take photos, enjoy the nature, meet new people, make friends, discover new places, try new tastes, learn interesting stuff, ...
I don't speak much, I prefer doing than talking and questioning than responding. I say just what I have "to say", but I don't say what I "have to", rather I say what I think. ;-)

I enjoy helping people with whatever they ask (within the law, obviously).
I don't smoke, I drink alcohol with moderation.
I'm a daylight creature, nightlife is cool but not very often for me.
I'm not quite sure what partying really means and why do people like it so much, but usually I find it boring.

PHILOSOPHY

Do everything so that you don't have to be ashamed of it.
There's just one unsolvable problem: the death!
I believe in men, men invented gods, for a good reasons.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to be interested in everything. In my opinion, the most important is to share mutually a life experience.
Teach: anything I know, don't hesitate to ask. ;-)
Learn: Spanish, to dance maybe, just a little, ... tough task - I have no talent. :-)
