About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Conquer the galaxy !

ABOUT ME

Nací como tantos otros en un humilde hogar de una familia europea como tantas otras. Y como se esperaba de mí, estudié y trabajé con honradez y voluntad.
Pero entonces, cuando se suponía que tenía que hacer lo mismo que mis compañeros (casarme, comprarme coche, comprarme casa, tener hijos, etc...), me di cuenta de que no era para mí. No es que rechace esa vida, sino que soy consciente de que una vez entre en ella, me será muy difícil hacer lo que realmente me apasiona : viajar.

Así fue como, tras probar la droga del viaje durante una vuelta al mundo en el 2010, decidí dejarlo todo en Francia, sacar la mochila, y partir de nuevo hasta donde mis pies me llevasen. Con todas sus consecuencias.

Para llenar mis días de vida en lugar de llenar mi vida de días.

PHILOSOPHY

"No te tomes la vida demasiado en serio. De todas maneras, ¡no saldrás viv@ de ella!"

Y básicamente me tomo todo con mucha calma y con un optimismo casi exagerado. ¿Qué se puede hacer cuando uno desea ser feliz en todo momento? :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing or just hanging out with couchsurfers, every way is unique and lovely.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Life is full of suprises.
I've host, surfed or hang out many different people. Some of them became very good friends that I met again and again in different places and times. Some of them I didn't have any more news since we met. Some of them were incredibly inspiring. Some other, I forgot theirs names.
Life is full of surprises, and couchsurfing helps you to enjoy it everyday!

Interests

Aunque leer y escuchar/tocar música sean probablemente mis pasatiempos favoritos, no dejo de interesarme por todo, y más cuando ando viajando que es cuando más abierto estoy a cualquier actividad social, deportiva, científica o lúdica.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe two sentences of two guys I met randomly.

The first one was a kind of crazy wise chinese guy who approached me in a bus and spoke to me about life. And he told me that we should always live life with the 3 C rule :
- Curiosity for everything/everyone
- Courage to try/approach everything/everyone
- Concentration on what/who we are enjoying

The second one was a peruvian turistic guide who was driving his small boat on the amazonian forest when he saw me on the water, lost and injured on an ankle (it's a long story). He saved me, took care of me, told me to rest, and reassured with this sentence : "The most important thing is that you survived"

A few experiences that change your way to see life...

Teach, Learn, Share

When I was studying chemistry at the college, I discovered that the most I learned, the most I realized that there was a lot more to learn.

Travelling the world, meeting new people, sharing new experiences, etc... works the same way : the most you learn, the most you see how huge and rich is our world, its people.
