About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have just quit my job and travelling around the world. First, Latinoamerica and then Asia.

ABOUT ME

This is always a difficult goal, better ask someone else.
Well, I am a really easygoing, extrovert, friendly and talktative person. I always see the glass full and try to extend this optimisism to every aspect of live.
While travelling, I like learning about the history of the country, try the local food and spend time with the locals and discover the day to day of their lifes. I try to be more a traveller than a tourist.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Another couchsurfers who was travelling around the world told me about CS and I immeiatly joined. I think that nowadays is one of the best thing in the world to meet people from everywhere, even countries that you didnt know before and increase your knowledge about the life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Totally positive!! I hope that this proyect will continue for a long time. We need more iniciatives like CS around the world to increase the understanding between people.

Interests

I love to travel because is the best way to open your mind, spend a great time and of course know the countries. I also like to go out and dance salsa. Trekking.
Mostly meet new people with whom you can learn new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is from Latinoamerica. I also like the flamenco and some spanish beats.
Honestly, that depend a lot of the time of the day and your mood, but some good salsa will always cheer you up.

My favorites movies are Motorcycles diaries and The beach. Both inspire me to travel when I watched them.

About books: I recently read Sapiens and I love it. Man in search of meaning from Viktor Frankl really hit me and it is a powerful book. Why nations fails. Also, any book from Arturo Perez Reverte, mainly Alatriste will make me more than happy.
Any time when I am travelling I like to take a book about the country with me. It will help me to understand the country and if one day i decide to read it again it will transport me to that country
