About Me

CURRENT MISSION

People say we can't last forever, and I know that is true, but no one ever said we can't last a lifetime!

ABOUT ME

After a couple of years without using CS, I come back to the CS world keen to give you some space if you're planning to visit BCN.

PHILOSOPHY

We don't live every second by chance. Every breath, every step, every sunshine is part of the path we are building up to reach the top of the circle. And then, when we get it, we go down and up again and again and again. Until the end of the times, into a kind of no-end wheel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is one of the greatest ideas born in the last two decades.

Interests

Uff... a lot of things!! French poetry, Southamerican literature, asian movies, classical music, psychodelic rock, symphonic rock, chill out, playing guitar, playing any kind of percussion, riding on bike, climbing mountains, enjoying the nature, knowing new people from all along the world, travelling (of course), singing, art, and writing (in fact, it's my profession). And surelly I'm forgetting much more things..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cannot describe with words when I saw for the first time the awesome Taj Mahal, in Agra, India, definitelly one of the best monuments in the whole world. Russian hospitallity is truly amazing. Friendship sense in Argentina. The Barcelona's pleasant way of living. But, I think the most marvelous thing in this world is the own world. When you travel, planet Earth seems you smaller and less exotic. When you travel, you are the exotic people and the other cultures seems the mainstream.
