hace ahora como seis anos que estoy viajando, a saber que paso a veces algunos meses en francia pero alli tambien yo sigo viajando con mi casa rodante, un gran furgo que tengo.....
despues de mi escuela de carpintero me fue de Lyon, para empesar ese gran viaje....
hacia mucho tiempo que yo quería ese vida nomada , pero yo queria tambien terminar ese diploma para poder trabajar con madera en el camino, y tambien para dar un minimo de satisfaccion a mis padres jajaja.....
asi es el el concepto de mi vida , de mi viaje desde ese dia: ser nómada, descubrir paises y encontrar a su gente, aprender nuevas cosas que no seria posible aprender quedándome fijo en francia, no utilisar la tarjeta de banco, hacer plata en el camino con la música (yo toco el acordeón, guitara , percusión, canto...) , o trabajando como carpintero, o haciendo decoración en los lugares (como murales , harmonisacion de espacios en hosteles , bares, casas privadas, lugares culturales....), o con tatoo (tengo conmigo todo el material), o vendiendo mis dibujos......... me llamo Mano, encantado ! :)

I started travelling six years ago, after my carpintery school.
I sometimes come back but even there, i keep on travelling with my van , discovering that wide country that is France....
so I think I can say I m a full time traveller hehehe......

the concept is simple:
I wanna keep on travelling , discovering new countries, meeting new people , until i will maybe find a place I wanna settle down (I just cannot stand the terrible french winter ...) , or maybe just until I will get tired hahaha.... I make money on the road , never touch the credit card ( nice challenge) and use my ¨talents¨ , like music ( accordeon, guitar, drums , voice..), drawing, tatoo( yes I got everything with me), working with wood, doing decoration in hostals, bars , private spaces............
here I am , nice to meet you, my name is Mano!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

como ya lo dije , yo hago mi dinero en el camino, y en general los hosteles me obligarian a luchar y trabajar todo el dia para conseguir suficiente dinero.......
eso no es la meta de mi viaje , la prioridad es conocer a la gente , y descubrir lugares.....
Ademas, no me importa tanto encontrar otros franceses o otros ¨extranjeros¨en los hosteles.....
Quiero encontrar a la gente local !!!!!

As I said, I´m travelling making my monney on the way......
so most of the time , if I wanted to rent a hostel room, then I would have to struggle and work all day to aford it...!!!
Also, I m travelling to meet LOCAL PEOPLE, no to go in places where I just will meet more french people hahaha.....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I felt in love one year ago with an argentinian girl, we met in peru...... few month later I had to go to france for few month , but she didn t haveneither passport neither monney.... so i went alone to france to work and make monney , so then from france I could pay her all the faw back to her native town in argentina, the price of the passport, ant the plane ticket to france...... all this story took like one and half month , but finally she could come , we spent an amazing time in europe , we ve been working in the festivals to make monney (thus she gave me back my money) ...and we are still travelling together now , one year after , in colombia :)
