CURRENT MISSION

My current most important mission in life is to work out a way that'll make me a happy and enthusiast about every next day

ABOUT ME

I would consider myself a regular guy that likes to enjoy life while keeping an (almost) responsible way of life.

I'm hardwired to my city because of friends, family and love, nevertheless I'm very into travelling. In three interrails around Europe I visited lot's of countries and spent countless unforgettable hours in trains with friends. After this, India was my wildest opportunity - this time, trains, buses, cycle rikshaws, you name it! It was a lifetime adventure I will never forget (specialy the Thaly I had in Jaisalmer!)

Besides travelling, I love hanging out with people with which I feel connected with.

I'm very keen on feeling surrounded by nature (when death is not in the next corner).

Love lots of differente kinds of music. From Alternative Rock (Pixies, Velvet Underground, Doors, etc.) to ethnic (Ravi Shankar and world music) or environmental music (Brian Eno). Not an expert.

Skeptical by nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Understand what moves myself and others.
And in the process, have some fun :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I knew about CS through people I met in Lisbon and a lot of fellow travellers I've connected with along my trip in India. I've been to Turkey and India through Couchsurfing and hosted a Polish friend at my home in Lisbon. Can't way for more! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed in the surrounding of Delhi (India)in October 2008. The experience was, to say the least, unique. In a farm 30km away from Delhi, I could visit Mark (my host) at the hardware shop we was working on and try the insane adventure of getting to central delhi. The life style in the house was an experience itself - simple and cool.

Mark was a magnificent host. We had pleasant night time chats around spicy food made by his beatiful maid (Maya).
