About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get back to the system without becoming depressed!

ABOUT ME

15/01/2013 UPDATE: Just got back to Tenerife after the trip of my life! THANKS TO EVERYONE!

All about anyone is not possible to be written in a couple lines for sure! Just to make you an idea:
Since I was a teenager I've been travelling and living abroad in different countries, to end up working in Madrid from 9 to 9 in a totally capitalized job (one of those were you gotta wear tie, treat your boss as a God and do anything to get him more clients)

Now I've decided it's time to change, in a couple months I'll start a trip around the world which will change my life

PHILOSOPHY

We only live once, so we have to accomplish all our goals and dreams as much as we are able to, CARPE DIEM!

I don't follow any religion, but I respect all of them, the only commandment I follow is "don't do to anyone anything you wouldn't like to be done to you"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I started to prepare my trip I heard about some friends who had done Couchsurfing, I found it great and perfect to get to know the culture and the people of the countries I'll visit.

But in life, as a general philosophy, I think before taking first you have to give, so until I fly away I'd like to receive you guys and show you how it goes in Spain. Though from monday to thursday I'm pretty busy with my job, I'll try to be as avaiable as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've already started hosting people and it's been a great experience! it's cool to see how all my visitors were so interested in learning about the Spanish culture (not only about our party, hahah) and I've learned something from all of them.
