About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"...the real trick in life is to want nothing, and to succeed on getting it"

ABOUT ME

I once described myself as a dreamer, but Ive just stopped dreaming and begin to make these dreams come true, now I can say I am pretty much awake and alive...

About me... well, would you really judge people by reading what they write about themselves? Hmm, if it helps you, here it is: Possitive man, generous and faithful, open minded and fun, "wannabe" writer and "wannabe" photographer, loyal friend and a more loyal partner, grateful, and probably more than grateful, anxious, hyperactive, patriotic and proud to be latin. I am a great fan of solitude, but not enough to be its lover.

PHILOSOPHY

Too many thoughts... I'm close to a trouble minded :) But I have always thought we are not alone in this world, there is people around sharing the same interests, behavior, and points of view of this life as ours, so why not to give it a try and see if we run into each other. I know there is good and evil, but I have my bets on the good side. Please contact me if you are really interested on my thoughts, don't want to bore anyone here...

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Before registering here I was a member of freeloaders.com (really similar) and there I was able to host people in Mexico and the States. In 2007 I went to Europe and had a hell of a time there meeting several CSers and crashing at their places.
