... I'm getting older, my body needs some fine-tuning, but I feel young! My personality is split 50/50: independent loner or rampaging socialite...I have a great many faults!

My hero has always been Bugs Bunny: he never gets caught; he always outsmarts his rival; and he always has something witty to say.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I want to travel and host. Traveling is a quality of life necessity. I am glad to be a part of a network that advances international harmony and learning.

As a host, raw vacation experiences are brought to my doorstep.

I finally surfed (in Barcelona); the people there are beautiful and welcoming!
