CURRENT MISSION

learn spanish, climb and fly around South America

ABOUT ME

I feel really at home in nature, especially doing something active, like paragliding, rock climbing, mountaineering, sailing, skiing, motorbiking, mountain biking, but also relaxingand absorbing it
More recently I've been chilling out and enjoying reading, music and eating great food more and more

I enjoy conversing, about global topics, like religion, sociology, economics, development issues, but not all the time!

PHILOSOPHY

love this quote!

€œLife is short, Break the Rules.
Forgive quickly, Kiss SLOWLY.
Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret ANYTHING
That makes you smile.
Mark Twain

Sharing is caring, ideas, laughs, thoughts, experiences, adventure ideas, stories

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best was in Burundi, Africa where we were able to stay with some friends of friend... The village was really remote, and its was just after the civil war where they were still in the process of preaching peace. We helped plant mango trees "for unity" in a local school, ate dinner togehter, visited the local orphange. Awesome experience!!!! and only possible becuase our hosts were amaziing people!
