About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The mission of my life is to spend as much of my life being happy!

ABOUT ME

PLEASE DON'T TAKE CARE ABOUT MY LAST LOGINS AROUND THE WORLD (SEWDEN ETC...). IT'S JUST A MATTER OF INTERNET CONNECTION...I AM IN VERONA!
I think that life is a chance to make yourself a better person, and everything goes with experience. I think that travelling is one of the best ways to incerase your experience. Many people think that the world ends after the border of their hometown. I think that the world begins after the border of my hometown!
I am a quite active person, I love to practice sports almost every day (Boxing, futsal, running, snowboarding and all the board sports) and playing as a DJ when I can.
I always try to make my life happy, so I try to surround myself with good, interesting and clever people, and I am really happy when i just stop for a moment to think aboout it, realizing that I did it!
This is my FB profile, if you want to know something more about me...just add me....

PHILOSOPHY

It's all about Hardwork & Dedication.

Live to learn...and learn to live!

Eu sou de ninguém, Eu sou de todo mundo E todo mundo é meu também....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hi,
I'm 29 year old and I always lived in Verona. I speak 3 languages (english, spanish, german and a little bit of french). I really LOVE travelling as a traveller more than as a turist. I do not like to stay in big hotels or in very touristic places (they look like being the same all around the world), i like to feel how people live in a place (as they say in south america, me gusta compartir con la raza!) and this is why I subscribed here, also to let people feel how we really live in Italy!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now it's been very nice as I got to know several people who taught me lots of new things and let me discover new places through their stories, and makin me curious about visiting new countries!

Interests

As I said before, I really love love travelling. In this part of my life I really like to travel in caribbean america and south america, because I love to practice surf and I love the south american lifestyle (pura vida!).
I love board sports and boxing, good cook and relax listening to music when I feel tired. Having fun with friends and partying is obviously a must in my life =).

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, the list could be veeery long, but I can resume almost all the list in: the wonders of nature.
Thinking to that, I could never forget the sound and the armony of the pacific coast waves, the sunsets on the beach, the big sun of caribbean, the risk of crossing the border between Venezuela and Colombia at 4 am....

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not presumptious...so I don't know if I can actually teach something! You will tell! I just hope to be interesting to other people in order for them to learn something about me.
This is what I search for in new people I meet also! I always do my best to learn new things which could help me in makin myself a better person and my life a better experience.

This sum of learning and teaching is SHARING!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A ride on my motorbike if the weather is warm, a good bottle of wine, cook some food, showing the place, a lot of funny stories, and my smile =)
