CURRENT MISSION To find water and food for the day ABOUT ME I'm a normal guy with a deep curiosity about almost everything, from trees to NorthAmerican literature. I'm passionate about conversation and at the same time I'm kind of introvert. I can spend a week with the only companion of books and don't feel any need of human contact, but enjoy the most a good gathering with people, and a bottle of red wine is a must. To speak about oneself is strange and nothing I would say here would make for a real face to face encounter. Therefore, be brave and dare meeting me... PHILOSOPHY Nothing in life is really terrible.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING The spirit of CS project is so wonderful in nowadays selfish-society that it's hard to believe. People in general are lacking social relations. In the century of ICT's, more and more people feel alone and isolated. CS2 project is an excellent opportunity to enlarged your social web. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I try hosting CSurfers when time is available, but during weekends i'm not usually in Palencia. Meetings for coffee and chat are always welcome mon-friday, and from time to time night-life "expeditions" can become an option too.
