About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Searching for myself

ABOUT ME

I think describing about yourself is a kind of a tricky question. However, people use to describe my as a cool cat, loyal, talkative, sensitive, a bit of character/little crazy and full of honesty. Still I am in the searching for myself, but I do know what I do not want in my life. This fact makes me very honest and this is why I am somebody you can trust on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people. I really enjoy travelling and discovering new places. This makes my mind work on the plasticity of it. This way of travelling, both hosting or being hosted, makes CS a really cool way to find out people very close with your kind of personality. Nowadays, values as universalism or benevolence are rather scarce. Everybody is focused on their own and just a few people take care of the other who is surrounded with. We need more social platforms like this one!!!

Interests

Me encanta tocar el piano, leer, charlar de cosas interesantes y ahora estoy aprendiendo a tocar la guitarra.

Talking about music could take me days or even years. I listen music before I am weaking me up!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Un amanecer en Motovum, Croacia! Nunca he estado en lo alto de una montaña, que era el pueblo, y en lo alto de la montaña estaba rodeado por nubes a la vez que amanecia. Esa mezcla de colores que muestra el amanecer cuando despunta el sol a lo largo de la montaña es una sensacion de estar vivo, de sentirte unido a la naturaleza. Lo llamamos "amaneciendo con pastas y tés". No recuerdo mejor momento que ese.

Teach, Learn, Share

First of all, I am not entitled to teach anybody.
The only thing that I can show is how I take my life:
- Life is a matter of a choice between spare time and work
- The rule of the 8 hours: 6-8 hours sleeping, 7-9 hours hobbies and 7-9 working hours (because I need to feed myself and pay my spare time)
- Life is too short to spend it working
- Expect the unexpected
- My plan is NO plan
