PHILOSOPHY

"The World Is a Book and Those Who Do Not Travel Read Only One Page"

"We are here not by chance, all the people we meet and all around us is so perfectly interconnected" my own quote

“A day without laughing is a day wasted”
Charles Chaplin

I think that to know new amazing and natural people is the greatest gift we have in this great life and we need to get advantage of this beautiful gift to know new and totally diferent people, mostly to those whose lifes are boiling of passion to travel to new destinations and to know all those beautiful details of each countries culture, life is much more beautiful when you can travel and share your emotions with new, sensitive and wise people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just had my 4th experience (last in Paris in 2015) in being hosted and I lived such beautiful moments knowing much more about the cultures of Belgium, Holand, Germany and France, and later also in Poland, Czech Republic, Vienna and Hungary

Interests

Exchange languages, meet people from all over the world and to share laughts and good vibe. To know new cultures and different ways of thinking, and feeling.
Because each one of us has a different and unique universe inside. I want to know them and to evolve in new knowledge

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed more than 800 meters for almost 5 hours on the Potosi mountain in Bolivia, and in the very top at 4.800 mts I was magically electrified in my head and hands while a rainstorm.

Waterfalls of Iguazu in Misiones, Argentina, I was charged with that unexplained force of the nature that still remains inside me

On January 2019 I did one of the most difficult goals of my life, lived 19 days in high mountain always above 4300 and 5550 m.a.s.l. and in my second attempt I could get to the summit of Aconcagua mountain 🗻 completely completely alone the summit at 6.962 mts 🙂
