Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn from every single place I visit and to give something that may change others' minds. Is not just traveling for fun. I like to go beyond the tourism and get involved with locals, share, learn and build knowledge with the community exchange.
ABOUT ME
An adventurer. I love experiencing new things about other cultures, getting to know more people and places. Bike packing is the thing that makes me happy the most. I also enjoy hiking, discovering hidden places in my country (most of them away from tourists), writing and dancing. In the last three years I've been exploring every spot in my country and its natural paradises. I could be your personal free tour guide and we can travel together
PHILOSOPHY
-Make it simple...but significant!
-It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk (looking like a fool) for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of life
-Life to the fullest
-To me, traveling has three special moments: While planning it, while doing it and also...while remembering. I'm happy to share experiences,advises and tips regarding my journeys for others to make it more remarkable.
-Love for life...everything that happens to you matters, every single act, every single action...Everything you do, whenever, wherever...does matter.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because we're a community to build, share, love, enjoy and fulfill life.
I usually join speaking clubs, eco-adventure journeys, expositions (museums), meetings in fancy restaurants among other activities...And guess what? Travelling for sure!

What I Can Share with Hosts
To chill, to be relaxed and share our experiences. Sharing!
I am physically attracted to women so I hope that would not be a problem to most couch surfers. I can be just open-minded to things as long as expectations are properly set.
