About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning Mandarin
Playing in a Rock band

ABOUT ME

I'm just anxious for the next trip, the next country and the next people I am going to meet.
I think I am quiet/crazy person, depends on the mood of the day.

PHILOSOPHY

You should always do what you like, never do something because they told you to do it or because is normal doing so. You should never work only for money, if you don't like your job, quit it, you are going to die anyway, even if you are rich

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new friends, sharing experiences, is more or less the same of everyone. I just can say that in a way CS changed my life and saved my life few times when I was alone and hopeless around the world.

Surfed in Latvia, Lithuania, Austria, Western Sahara, Morocco, Ukraine, New Zealand, Mexico, Germany, China...Next??

Interests
