About Me

To spread anti-depression quotes. I like this one: "whenever you feel getting into a depression, take a 10min walk through cemetery; problems might not be changed, but will be they way you look at them",

ABOUT ME

I cannot describe how I am, but what I have done:
- studying: communicactions, politics, linguistics, (formal)... and anthropology, economics, sociology, PE, drama (informal)
- working in many places: schools, industrial multinationals, magazines, shops, sports companies(for money)... musical shows, NGO´s, for pleasure...
- writing, teaching, learning, travelling.
- making friends (what should be at top of list, maybe)
Currently starting up a project: www.real-sl.com ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Once you realise how lucky you are in life, try to take advantage of it to be happy and try to make others be too, wherever they are, however you are able to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate not properly. I mean: I have to apologise for not replying to every request quickly, for not updating my profile, availability and descriptions, I cannot enter this site as frequently as I should do :(... I do read requests from my mobile, but cannot spend the time I would like to for being really up to date. (Hehehehe, now that I have, I am writing this message to leave here).
Hope you understand, and just a pre-reply: if you are requesting some weeks in advance and I do not reply, please try to re-request or to send an email.
Thanks and sorry!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience* can explain by itself what this was for me, what should be for everybody and hopefully will continue: a place where you can trust people.
* I recieved a request from 3 Turkish people who needed a place to sleep for one night... but it was the night I was going to travel for the first time using CS. I trusted them, they trusted me. I left them at home, explained how to close the door next morning and then... I went to airport at 4am to take a flight directly to my fantastic first CS experience in Finland!
Everything was perfect!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, it is not amazing, but being on stage is fantastic. I got astonished whenever I can see through a plane´s window - and there are no clouds, obviously...
