About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world.

ABOUT ME

Moving is my pasion, I only stay at home when necessary, otherwise I'm a street child lol

I like abstract concepts, poetic movies, books that make me collapse, open ends and music that makes me feel dizzy. What I try to say is that I like to break with any conventional whatever, because only then we can create and start thinking from a different persepctive.

My rule is "go away from your comfort zone". Only when you manage to, you will understand why :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live all your experiences as if you never experienced before, let your feelings bloom without forgetting to observe around to understand the reason and so, learn the lesson that the past experience provided you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spreading the word of CS and hosting people in need of a shelter who belive that there are more good people than bad people in this world by getting into a stranger's house ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have mostly surfed, crushed, invaded, occupied, slept at someone else's spaces.
When I was not a CS member, I started hosting friends/acquitances of freidns/acquitances and hosted several times people I've only seen once.
When I got the oportunity, I hosted twice while I was living in the Alps and several times when I spent some time in Barcelona.

Interests

Mainly, travel. From traveling, other interests bloom in its maximal expression as learn, experience, feel, meeting new people, listen, listen to people and to nature, argue, discuss, observe, struggle and some more.

Or maybe all this interests come totgether to create the interest of traveling?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Winter 2013) I was skiing in the bernese Alps when I stopped and in front of me I saw one part of the valley covered by low clouds shining by the orange-yellowish light of the sunset, creating the effect of a lake with a marvelous waterfall at its end. The surrounding mountains were lighted as well and looked as if they had a burning aurea.
It was, in conclusion, a breath-taking panorama.

Summer 2013) Balkan hospitality.
