CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying the esence of life in my new adventure

ABOUT ME

I always carry a book and my mp3 player in my bag. You never know how long is the journey going to be...
I love sleeping. And I love NY. I have a big nose. I like going to small concerts and big museums. I don't miss London. I'm not very good in saving. I like trying new restaurants. I don't go out of the water until either I feel cold or my fingers look like raisins :)) I give me flowers. I love taking pictures but not being taken :S Everytime I hear "The Bittersweet Symphony" my soul sings along. I like Hamburg. I love Japanese food and I'm getting there with the sticks. I'm a bit too loud when sneezing. Some people say that I use a strange tecnique to write sms. I'm not good in telling jokes but I can dance a bit of Lindy Hop! I forget important dates, above all, birthdays, argghh.. I like portraits. I always wear trainers. I used to play violin. I miss Morocco. I love the smell of the countryside after the rain. Sometimes I draw and paint. I like cooking with friends around and swing in my ears. I'm allergic to techno music. I love Modigliani. I'm always thinking about future journeys. I don't get ungry easily. Movies in original version only, pleaseee :) I love Parmesan cheese. And good wine.

PHILOSOPHY

Every person we meet in our way is a door to some other people and experiences that will enrich, in some way or another, our life. So, be fair and forget about prejudices.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I lived in Barcelona I tried to show to traveling CS's the parts of Barcelona that I would like to be shown as an outsider. Give some hints and help or accomodation, if needed. Now I'm an outsider in my new city, Zürich. Nevertheless, I have plenty of time right now and I will be happy to meet CS's for a coffee or a beer and together discover the city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great Great Grrrrrrrrrreat...! I've surfed couches in Portugal, Morocco, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Greece so far. And I have hosted many CS's to which some of them I can call friends now. From my point of view, to go on holidays is not just disconnecting from routine and daily life, but learning while traveling.
And Couch Surfing is one of the best ways to learn and discover new lives and minds while enjoining!!
