ABOUT ME
Like anybody else, if asked to present myself, I would say basically good and wonderful characteristics. Who wouldn't? Basically I consider myself honest, sometimes quite funny (not allways) and love talking and sharing opinions about many topics: my fields of interest cover art, history, science, movies, music, politics, geography, languages... My good friend said once "Is there anything you don't have an opinion about?" :)) Forgive me for that in advance.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy sounds too.... deep.... and trascendental; just trying to live the life as best as i can

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like 99% of couchsurfers, I came to couchsurfing many years ago because I wanted to meet people and see the world. All my experiences both hosting and getting hosted has been really great. I have not done as many trips as I intented to because...well because when you're more than 30 and more than 40, it's not easy any longer to get real free time

Interests

History (aaaaaallllll history, science, languages (spanish french italian catalan english russian) músic, (play saxo alto), movies, sports (cycling, tennis -before I had backache-, hiking)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many years ago I played heads or tails with my cousin and.. believe it or not ¡right on the edge! We stared at each other absolutely amazed. Lately I've asked him if he remembered, and he said he didn't...so I am not even sure If I have dreamt it or not :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to say that the Will is the most important thing in life. Now I think that is a bit pretentious to try give lessons about life, especially when one's life is not model for anything and anybody.

What I Can Share with Hosts

i can talk with you, make you company, help you with spanish and french lessons, accompany you if you need to go to supermarket or elsewhere, share my modest knowledge of music and history, play tennis or ride a bike with you, tell you how it is to live in france and spain, share opinions with you about life, and facts of life, help you wash the dishes and sweep the floor...
