CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy, grow in wisdom, share what I am, furiously live my way

ABOUT ME

I've had the fever for traveling since I have memory. At some times during my life I pushed it to insane levels, haha. I guess it happened because I wanted to learn more, I was persuaded that going further, living more extreme things, gathering all those magic moments that traveling provides, and being more and more auto-sufficient on the way would somehow enlighten me. I learnt so many things, I am grateful. I am, and always be, a student of life, a passionate one!

PHILOSOPHY

If you have a problem that has a solution, don't worry! It has a solution! And if you have a problem that has not a solution, don't worry either because it has not a solution!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing my good energy with everyone. I've traveled quite a lot and I can give advice about many destinations and low budget moving know how. I have many crazy stories to explain and I can provide good tips about non-stop-traveling-life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is great. Knowing new people and entering with them the real life backstage scenes of other countries and cultures is just superb.

Interests

Meeting and sharing with people, first of all. I love to encounter new people, things, situations...
All fields of human activity can be interesting but let's say I am naturally interested in literature, theatre, art, traveling, history of ideas...
I can love the same a good party than a deep conversation!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled Afghanistan alone for few weeks, cruised in a cargo ship for 4 days from Colombia to Panama to overpass the Darien, prayed in the biggest mosque of London, driven my van through Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, organized tours and made logistics on the ground for Clowns without Borders in Kosovo and Lebanon, spent some weeks in Western Saharaui refuggee camps in southern Argelia, bathed naked in Persian Gulf in an Iranian desert island, contemplated Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi India being illuminated just by the burning dead bodies during a power cut, participated in a sacred Ayahuasca ritual in the Amazon, meditated in a lost buddist female temple in Khumbu valley Nepal, lost 40 bucks playing black jack in Las Vegas, smoked a joint in Berlekey's campus grass, suffered a pirate attack attempt in front of Haiti's coast, played marionnette shows all around Burkina Faso, crossed the Atlantic from France to the Caribbean in an old fishing boat... and the best is still to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

It's not a topic, life is a gift. And it's just a matter of knowing how to live it! La vida? Saber vivirla! The answer for me is simplicity and sharing with our brothers and sisters.
