About Me

I love exploring new cultures and places, the most challenging journeys are the most rewarding ones.

I hike, swim, surf, bike, act, and anything funny . I loves engaging in group sports, cultural activities, and new experiences – but I always makes sure I have fun along the way.

I like to visit markets, museums as it is an express lane into a culture. I like to eat street food - eating cheap food next to the locals because there is an added sense of acceptance as well as better sense of the people and the culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer not to judge a place by the first impression. Sometimes it takes time to discover the character and beauty of a town or a country, and it’s only after a few days, when you’ve met the locals and got into the pace of life that you realise its true nature. Then you’re able to make an accurate judgment.

Couchsurfing is the perfect tool to meet locals and discover the "secret" places, learn few words and expressions and maybe get good friends.

Interests

Sports, I'm not specially good in one but I like to practice football, ping pong, climbing, surfing, hiking in wildlife. Live music, like concerts, almost all kind of music. I also like theater see and practice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiking twelve weeks in Patagonia, living on the nature, fishing, cooking in a fire camp, eating local plants... A tend, stars, nature and some other travelers that's all you need.

Accept the unexpected and take advantage of it rather than complaining because things didn’t happen as you planned.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like to talk about travels, life, experiences... I want to learn things about the countries and places I visit, for example, recipes and music. I can try to teach some Spanish if someone wants to learn. Always better with a hot drink, if it's possible around a fire camp.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook, create new things in the kitchen with music. I'm learning Harmonica so maybe "Jam sessions". Going out to visit nature or cultural places in the city. Some beers, of course, and nice moments around a cup of tea :)
