About Me

After 11 years living in "Galicia", Spain I've realized certain things there are important in my life and most people ignore. So I decided to leave home by bicycle to ride the world and feel alive! So far I have ride Eurasia,Australia and Africa. Next long tripwill take me to the Americas hopefully 2018

PHILOSOPHY

give the most out of yourself.
live life with the minimum possible to be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first couch experience in USA 2008

Porto (Portugal) around 2010/2011 all my flat mates and I host lots of people, mostly all those roofless that you meet at night time.

Summer 2011 I travelled by bike through some European countries, leaving my faceprint in many couches around Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Czech Republic, Switzerland , France and Spain.

A year later I set out on a great adventure for nearly 2 years by bicycle around Europe and Asia for more than 22.000km and 23 countries.. In that long journey I problably slept the 85% of nights in local houses an the 15% remain camping everywhere.

why travelling by bike???

you get the feeling of freedom that any other vehicle won't. when you travel by bike most the time you dont know where/when your day is going to end and thats something that make me feel alive at least for the time I'm looking for a spot to camp or someone to stay with. So then, everything begins again: people, socializing, food, drinks and sleep!! With the time and experience you share so much that every experience became more interesting and easy to handle and no matter the cultural borders till the point you feel that is need it to make a different there where you are, to leave a print. That's the soul of my journey.

When you do it day after day, it grows that feeling of freedom,self confidence and spirit of traveler! What a great paper to get enroll!
