About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new and nice people, share experiences and learn with that! Travel!

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly and adventurous person, I love my family, my friends and any good person, male or female.
I love to learn, to travel and to meet new people and places.
I love nature in its all kinds.
I'm aquarian :)
At this moment I live in Valencia, Spain. Before I've lived in Pamplona and Madrid, Timor-Leste, and Guinea Bissau.
I've traveled in more than 30 countries over 5 continents, and I'm willing to keep going on that trail.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to live, being with friends and meeting new people.
Is my opinion that we live in a global village with many differences between us, but that's the most interesting thing because if we accept the others differences, cultures, and so on, we learn more about them and ourselves, becoming all better persons and making this world a better place to live with respect and thankfulness.
Collecting smiles around the world :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was invited by a friend to CS and after checking it I did realize that this is all about me, for anyone who really loves to travel and share experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don´t mind at all to sleep on a couch, indeed, I love it :)
I've hosted a very kindly Australian girl and two other wonderful girls another time when I was living in Pamplona, a great experience of trust, share and learning.
In my travels around Europe, Asia, South America and India I was staying in hostels and meet lots of people from every part of the world. It is always a great experience cause in many of those times I was traveling alone.
