About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making up a carreer to finish fed up, leave everything and go to Brasil to live in a "favela" and do windsurfing...

ABOUT ME

I am a little too much direct, may be a little rude sometimes, but honest and I like to have everything clear.
I love sports: hiking, climbing, horseriding. I love photography. But above all I love windsurfing.
My life is conditioned by wind...

PHILOSOPHY

To free my mind from personal philosophies..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting and knowing people, always ready to help or to be a guide, hosting some times only but trying to do my best and to make it as interesting as posible, surfed, went to some meetings: great people, nice time together

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In CS you discover dayly that the world is full of marvelous and altruistic people. I think I´ll never forget my 1st couch, Dan, cause he was the 1st to show me that the world is full people whom you can trust even if you don´t know them.
In general, I passed wonderful time with CS and have a lot of moments to remember.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think life is amasing in general, so I remember so many amasing experiences...
One that comes to mind is a holiday in Barcelona. Me and my friends running to the subway station under the pouring rain with huge black garbage bags upon us =))) I remember people in caffes pointing us with a finger, watching us and laughing: 3 garbage bags running down the street in the rain )))))
Another one: Me planning well for the 1st time with my 125l Fanatic Eagle. I was shouting out loud making my way through the waves, and once close to the shore stopped and was laughing for 5 mintues from happyness. Unforgettible.
