Hitchhiking with my lovely pregnant girlfriend Nieves on the way to Houston where we are looking for an airplane ride to Europe! View all 32 photos
Personal Description
Enjoying our Mother Earth and all its wonderful Earthlings to the fullest! Right now I am traveling with my Dear girlfriend Nieves and we are right now in Houston, Texas looking for an airplane ride back to Europe since my we gonna be parents soon :)) The journey of Humanity comes to an end, after 14 month of adventure only hitch- and boat-hiking for more than 30 000km (18500miles) without using money!
To find more about this sustainable journey with more than 500 rides from The Netherlands, through Europe, North Africa, Atlantic Ocean, Brazil and all the way up through Latin America and finally the US... and hopefully soon to Europe via airplane ride from Texas:
I am a free and open minded person born in Berlin, I love to travel, to see and experience new cultures from all over the world. To learn and appreciate each one of them, each being which pases my path. I love to be around my brothers and sisters... If we love and laugh more there will be only more love and happiness not less!
I wrote an article about traveling, happiness and the life on our planet which tells a lot about how I see the world:
I was convinced by Couchsurfing even before knowing what it was, I started with Hospitality Club and since then I am an active Couchsurfer. Apart from hosting and being guest, I share the idea, this lifestyle with all people I meet and I try to make this world a 100% Couchsurfing spirit one!
CouchSurfing Experience
It is the perfect base for this sky rocking idea of sharing, caring, learning and loving from and to each other! I am fascinated by the CS project and I only had very good experiences with Couchsurfing and all the marvelous people I met thanks to CS!
I believe that CS is far more than just a Website, it is a lifestyle, a vision for a better world!
Interests
Love, People, Philosophy, listening, talking, World, Photography, Traveling, creating consciousness, sharing everything I have, cooking and always appreciating the beauty of the mother earth and the people
Philosophy
To create awareness amongst the citizen of this wonderful world, to treat each other like we want others to treat us, to respect and love our planet like it is our home, our only one we have! To open the eyes to all the joy and priceless moments of life, to all our brothers and sisters who are sharing the same Mother Earth with us ... in a world without fear, angst and worries.
To life NOW - in happiness and in peace - in brotherhood and in diversity, because variety means richness and already Aristotle's said:
The whole is more than the sum of its parts!
Therefore we should unite us and leave prejudices, hate, and anger behind and move beyond the capabilities we believe our mind has -
LOVE
Music, Movies, Books
Documentaries: Eearthlings, The Age of the Stupid, HOME, We feed the World, Our Daily Bread, Zeitgeist, BBC - Century of the self, The Corporation, Deep Blue, Modeling Consent
Types of People I enjoy
Minds work like parachutes, they only function when they are open ... ;-) - ready to jump?!
Teach, Learn, Share
I believe every person has his own talents, ideas, culture and light which we could learn from, we are all our own teacher and should be constantly learning from each other - without breaks! without limits - we are all one!
This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.
In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.
When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.
PURE JOY! Rachi is one of the most inspiring human beings I have ever met. His pearls of wisdom are endless. His heart is as warm as a hot cup of tea on a winter's day. Raphael is the kind of person who, even by spending one or two minutes of your time with, will leave you feeling both thoughtful and happy at the same time. For me, a life changing encounter. Sending you the warmest hugs while I'm here :)
Raphael is very open minded guy, you can ask him everything about everything... to listen to him is great an you can talk about the world with him for hour and hour. I hope we see us again in a few weeks, spending time with you is great and you are am very good person.
Forward the (r)evolution
Raphael is the only person I am willing to leave a reference without meeting him in person. He is so full of love that his emails can brighten up your day no matter how far he would physically be. We are already connected with him and one day we will meet also in real life. :) He was one of the people who inspired me to travel without money. Thanks for that! Shine the light bro!
Rafael es una persona tan positiva que te aporta bienestar al estar a su lado. Es fantastico, muy buena persona con unas ideas sobre la vida que tenemos aprender sobre ellas. Ha sido un placer haberlo conocido.
Rafael is a postive person that he give me a laughting. He is fantastic, good person and he has a idea about the life so we can learn a lot of things about him. He was in my flat during one week I had a great time!!!

Positive
Raphael and Nieves are some of the most beautiful people you will ever meet. I am so glad I could meet and help them with their project. They turned me on to many new things which I now am participating in. When one of my countrymen calls I answer, I am so glad I met these two, I look forward to seeing them in Berlin. Mit Liebe mein Landsmann
Raphael is a very funny and smart person. I share with him my room for 6 months in Padua and he helped me to discover that a new way of life is always possible and introduced me to CS!
Don't miss the opportunity to give a couch to this guy!

Positive
Raphael just exudes a gentle kind happy nature. One would imagine someone travelling without money and a very pregnant girlfriend to sometimes worry. He was always open and genuinely felt like an old friend. I did nothing but open my heart to them really. What a gift I received for so little.
Raphael is full of happiness and really good feeling and is always sharing what he has, material or not.
he is definitly a nice person to meet for every one
