I relish life in the extreme, its unconventionality and humor. I don't take its obstacles, warnings, downs and ups very seriously. As a result, I habitually do the things I hate or fear the most.
I'm delusionally optimistic. I believe that one day I'll wake up and want nothing more. And I work at it everyday.
I love meeting interesting people. Long conversations.
I enjoy nothing more than a long hike alone or with my closest friend. Reading with Mate and Writing with Malbec. Cubans. The flop but mostly the river. Another meal at Masa. Steak at Kayne. Oyster at Neptune. After all, food alone has been responsible for some of my closest encounters with the Big Guy (JC).
I am an aspiring minimalist and nomad. All my friends would describe me as passionate. But most of all, I'm just a fat kid in a candy store (metaphor).

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing
