About Me

1st rule before sending a request:

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE PROFILE !

I would like to host everybody, but as there are many requests, I want to be sure that those who come home and I have a lot in common, so to make of it a great encounter.
So once again: Read my profile before asking or I will automatically decline your request. Thanks, people !

CURRENT MISSION

Save the world from a possible Terminators invasion!

ABOUT ME

Describing yourself is kind of weird, more if you think of yourself as a great person :)

I am a very funny, open-minded, generous and curious person. I definitely love to laugh, going on adventures, doing sports and sharing all of this with other people.

As a Guest/Traveller, I am proud to say that I am a very kind, clean and respectful person, willing to contribute in cooking, cleaning or helping with anything else.

Please write in your request the following: "Futbol de Potrero" so that I know you've read me.

As a host, I like to give a lot of freedom to my guests and show them the city as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Say YES to opportunities, rather than staying home because you're tired or it's raining... It has worked for me for many many years, accepting things with a positive attitude pays back enormously well !!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Last few years I've been participating as host and as a traveller, and I have had incredible experiences, but what's more important, I have made some very close friends thanks to CS. Recently arrived in Berlin and still discovering it, so if you come we can do it together ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome/Genial !!

First time ever, Rio de Janeiro Hosted by 2 different people: Thanny for a week, and Cristiano for 5 days.
We had such Great moments that we actually saw again doing years later when I came to visit them for a 2d time.
In Madrid in 2014 I met Gonzalo, what a genius guy !! Still close to him, he hosted me for 5 daysencounter!and we said goodbye to each other with such a strong hug that I'll never miss.
Pedro lived at my small student apartment in Strasbourg for some weeks in 2015, and then Joel did the same in my Avignon's apartment! for some days. Great people I am still in touch with.

Then in 2017 came Maxime, Jenny and Joel in Avignon, curious in Gant, Alberto in Bruxelles and Henk in Amsterdam
These people, these experiences, have opened my mind out of its limits. And there are yet to come !
