CURRENT MISSION

discover the world and try as much as I can to make it a better place....

ABOUT ME

I am fast and slow, active and passive, good and bad tempered, patient and impatient, generous and selfish, open and narrow minded, clever and stupid, easy and difficult, good and bad looking, busy and lazy, quiet and noisy, organised and messy, lovely and a pain, strong and weak...

I am also cold or warm, wet or dry, hungry or full, awake or asleep, energic or tired, hard or soft...

I cry and laugh, smile and weep, SCREAM and whispeeeeer..., run and walk, fly and swim, drive and cycle.

YES, YOU GOT IT! I am just a human being lost in the world like many others! Some of my particularities are being optimistic, curious and up to discover new things. I also dream a lot.

I just want to enjoy my life, which basically means: eat well, be surrounded by people I like, have fun and laugh as much as possible.

Of course there is a lot more to discover about me, but you will have to find it out yourself. If I tell everything, you will not want to couchsurf with me any more!! I have not registered here to tell my life but to couchsurf...

PHILOSOPHY

Everyday I take a lot from the world and the nature by driving, traveling, washing my clothes, throwing plastics away.
I do not want to leave this great world without having done something good for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a host, I am a traveler... I play for both teams.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never had the oportunity to host yet, even though I wanted to, but noone has ever been interested in Carterton...
I left Carterton in May 2009 and have been traveling around the world since then and have surfed about 20 couches. THANKS TO ALL MY HOSTS!!!!! It's a great community...
Now that I am back to some kind of normal life and in an attractive city, you are welcome to my place

Teach, Learn, Share

I have no idea about what I could efficienly teach to be honest.
Still I have a lot to learn (an awful lot even, now that I am thinking about it).
To share? A meal, a roof, a tent, a bike, a car and many experiences among others
