Young latin spirit travelling. I don't have a return ticket. I started in Brazil 1 month and knew Lisbon for a whole day (lovely city). Now I am in England, then will reach Iceland in June the 5th. With tickets to Germany, Hungary, Turkey and France and I'm sure more are coming. Happy to share experiences and make new friends. Glad to talk, walk, trips, drink or meditate. I'm used to hang by my self without a problem, still it is better with some company. I like to walk the cities first, the parks, the animals, then enter some museums and partying. I am simple, I have a sleeping bag and a mat, so I don't mind sleeping in the floor. I wash the dishes gratefully. Check more of me in Instagram @alvaroxuande

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for friends and sharing stories, quality time or just a couch. Eben the floor will do as I have a sleeping bag and a mat. It is best to share and do meetings, knowing each other instead of paying for being alone. Money is for travelling and eating. I'd love to hug one day an elephant, and to take pictures of me reaching each world wonder.

Interests

Knowing about people and customs, ways of living different emotions, places, charms, mysticisms and laughing above all. Open my mind and expand consciousness. To visit awesome places of nature and their nearby inhabitants. Also, not a problem hanging by my own.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked Chile whole, and hitchhiked in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia. Climbed Wayna-Pichu and saw many different storms at the same time in Sun island, Titicaca. I was in charge for 6 years of a secular non-military scout group, without investors, with 200 hundred children, and it worked. Tried once to climb a volcano 2700 mts high, but failed at 1000 because we lost the tracks. I once woke up in my tent at the middle of a big stream. A few years before, I saved someone from drowning and like never before I wasted my energies whole. I had a cat 17 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to feed a historical perspective of the revisionist school, then its more literary, audiovisual and artistic sources in general. Trying to write novels and short stories.
