ABOUT ME

to make a long story short, as soon as i graduated form high school i went to spend my life savings in france. the i came back here to get properly educated and after saving a couple of pesos went back to europe. this time to germany. I arrived form a 2 years journey this year and am now wokring as a stock brocker. i just moved in with childhood friends and really look forward to open my home to whomever needs a cozy couch and a lot of fun. Now I am traveling to France and will appreciate anyone that can host me for a couple of days to visit new towns and cultures.

update: Now living in Paris. Staying for a whole year. I have a very cool french roomate, so any guests have to be approved by her...but she is cool with having people.

update: Still working and enjoying Paris. My dear french rommate flew away to argentina and she is has now left me with an expert of the Ukulele : Camilo. The couch is soon going to be available for those seeking adventure in Paris

update: After living in PAris I went around the world in look of ideas and now setting up a start-up in Bogota.... please join the iniciative : Wat !

PHILOSOPHY

there is only one chance to live, so you have to give your best in it, and above all....ENJOY IT! everyone has a different way of enjoying so do it your way and be tolerant to the way others enjoy.

My father has always told me that you should not deny a smile to anyone, a smile can not harm and on the contrary it may help you make a friend or in the worst scenario get a smile back. So just smile = 0 )

You can find me in facebook as Alejandro Barrenetxe
