CURRENT MISSION

life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans (John Lennon)

ABOUT ME

Considering the thrilling, tremendous diversity that this planet offers to all of us, I am convinced that it is a must to go out and explore this diversity instead of remaining in one place for the rest of our lives.

Nothing is more efficient when it comes to wiping out stereotypes and xenophobia than taking a look beyond the well-known and familiar enviornment that we grew up in. This is why I consider travelling, meeting people from all walks of life and getting to know a variety of different places one of my true missions.

I am currently based in Austria where I work in communications for an international organization. In case you are interested in touring my city or crashing my couch, drop me a line.

PHILOSOPHY

"Hay que endurecerse pero sin perder la ternura jamás" (Ernesto Guevara de la Serna)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had very positive couchsurfing experiences, both as a host and a traveller. I enjoy sharing my city and the Austrian culture with strangers who come here with the desire to explore it. At the same, I enjoy being introduced to places and cultures that I am not familiar with by people who are.
