CURRENT MISSION

Follow my desires

ABOUT ME

It’s hard to speak about ourselves! Well I think I have a strong will to live, I’m a very easygoing person and curious about the people that I’m meeting all the time, I quickly start to ask them about their cultures and their lifes :). I love to make surprises to my friends and to my family. Besides the people, there are some very important things that shape my lifestyle: the sea (and its waves, since I was bodyboarding and swimming in the sea at 4 or 5 years old), the writing and literature(in a general way, from history books to short tails), and the constant wish to discover natural and urban places, either travelling with my backpack, or cycling, trekking…

PHILOSOPHY

"Get up Francisco, there's an incredible day outside!".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I’ve heard about CS some time ago, by some friends that got incredible unexpected CS experience! I enjoy very much the idea of receiving people from other places and make them comfortable as much as you are able to. Unfortunately, I’m cannot receive people at my shared flat but I would like to invite anyone for a coffee or a drink in Santander, you’re very welcome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any CS experience, at least related to this program. That's why I still don't have any references. But I think I've already slept in almost house places where it fits a human body!Also had lived, and visited,many friends, from different countries..

Music, Movies, and Books

uummm,uuhh..ok let's go for a classical example: If I had to go to a desert island and was obligated to bring one movie, a cd and a book, I would choose:fanhrenheit 451 (F. Truffaut), best of Debussy and the book A criação do Mundo (Miguel Torga).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For choosing two: going to USA with 18 years old working in a (special) summer camp.
Hitchhiking from Santander to Sevilla.
Anyway, the daily amazing things are the ones that matter (and those I usually forget!)
