About Me

I´ve been traveling since September 2008. Starting in India. I visited most of the countries in Southeast Asia... ending living for 1 year in Wellington (New Zealand). I needed a break!!!
I went to Spain for 4 months to visit family and friends and now I am living in Canada.

I try to be funny all the time and keep my smile with everybody. Sometimes is not possible but life is really better if you are happy, and people feel better with happy people around :), so please SMILE!!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoying life.
Helping people if I can and they want.
I like to know about my bad things, so if you see one please let me know it and I will try to change it.

STAYING WITH ME

I won't host people who send me generic requests and doesn't mention why I should host them and have not read my profile.
If you want me to host you please mention something about my profile and why you want to stay with me. This is supposed to be an exchange not a free place to crash.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I knew about couchsurfing during my trip and I used it a lot everywhere.I met a lot of really nice people and they helped me a lot.Now, It's time for me to help, and anytime I have the chance I host/help others and give all I can back to the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been using couchsurfing for more than 4 years, I've been surfing couches in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand..... and honestly, I can't say I had a negative expierence ever. As soon as I had a place, I started to host people and I enjoy a lot just seeing their faces when you offer them help.
When you have a "normal life", couchsurfing brings you back all the traveling spirit. It's like being traveling again :)
