Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Riding through life one kilometer at a time. Since 2020, I’ve been exploring North America on my motorcycle—over 50,000 km so far! I’ve crossed most of the U.S. (South, Central, and East Coast) and gone from East to West across Canada. Now I’m back for my second adventure through Alaska. My mission? Keep discovering the world from the saddle of my bike and connect with amazing people along the way.
ABOUT ME
I’m a laid-back person who enjoys being outdoors, staying active, and meeting people from different places and backgrounds. I’ve always been drawn to sports—especially those that involve nature or a bit of adrenaline.
I love being near water in any form: ocean, rivers, lakes, snow. I’m always up for kayaking, hiking, or spotting wildlife whenever I get the chance. I like chasing new experiences and saying yes to adventure.
I also enjoy good food, a glass of wine, and watching the sky—whether it’s a sunrise, sunset, or a clear night full of stars.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
For me, traveling isn’t just about places—it’s about people. Couchsurfing is a great way to connect with locals, share experiences, and get a deeper sense of where I am. I really enjoy learning from others and seeing life from different perspectives.
It’s also a nice break from the usual rhythm of solo travel—sharing a meal, a story, or even just a coffee can make a place feel more alive.

Music, Movies, and Books
I’m not a huge movie buff, but Life is Beautiful and Into the Wild are two that have really stuck with me—each in their own way. When it comes to books, I enjoy historical novels, and The Alchemist is one of my all-time favorites.
Musically, I love discovering traditional and local sounds wherever I go. There’s something powerful about listening to the music that belongs to the culture and rhythm of the place I’m in.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I sailed 40 days by wind from Costa Rica to Washington D.C., navigating open waters with nothing but the sea and sky around me.
And I crossed Spain on horseback—over 1,200 km from Portugal to France—through mountains, villages, and endless countryside. Both journeys pushed my limits and changed the way I see the world.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share stories from the road—whether it’s motorcycle trips, long-distance sailing, or horseback journeys across countries. I’ve learned a lot through slow travel and love talking about the unique rhythm and lessons of moving through the world that way.
I’m happy to cook a simple meal, help with Spanish, or just have a good conversation.
I’d love to learn more about local customs, food, and ways of living—especially anything connected to nature, animals, or traditional knowledge. And I’m always open to learning new skills or perspectives.
I like sharing time, stories, music, meals, and whatever adventure shows up.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good stories, good laughs, and maybe a bit of inspiration to chase after your own dreams. I’m respectful, easygoing, and always happy to help out however I can—whether it’s cooking, sharing travel tips, or just having a great conversation.
