About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world. Sharing knowledge, discoveries and my couch as others explorer's station. See you outhere.

ABOUT ME

What to say... I am a normal felow, open minded, curious, enthusastic, kind of creative, not very good in business... Even I like things simple, sometimes I think too much but I try to canalise it for creative and personal advance. I come from Andalusia... but I am living in Berlin in this moment.

PHILOSOPHY

Be a good person, have your heart in peace as much as you can... and don't forget your curiosity.
It is curiosity what keeps you young no matter the age you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to make the fact of travelling an easier and richer experience... being a couchsurfer in the ocean of couch surfing, what else can I say?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been surfing some couchs in some cities (Viena, Budapest, Bonn, Berlin... ). I habe also been enjoying some meetings, no couch but nice moments, visiting, exploring, enjoying a drink and a nice conversation.
Already before I joined CS, by chance -that nice misterious complexity of days- I use to open my door to some visitors in Granada and Málaga and I enjoyed a lot the experience, the how visitors bring always the nice feeling of traveling -a fresh breeze- and something to learn about not only theirs but also your own universe. Then I heard about CS... and here I am.

All colleges from CS (or not, but people who loved traveling and travelers) always have been very nice persons for me, enriching my experience... and I also hope that my company had bring the same to them.

Interests

Travelling, meeting people and new cultures and points of view. I like reading and writting (www.oficinadelatentes.com, www.golfo.blogspot.com), cinema, I am curious for sciences... I love the waves -going surfing-, sharing breakfasts, the fresh air in the morning, the infinite improvised nights, places with long wiews, going to markets (specially secondhand little bit misterious objects), getting lost in the cities and discovering hidden and forgotten places, where you can feel, not excactly history, but the Stories... floating anonimous all around...
