About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know as many people and as many places I can in one year in Europe.

ABOUT ME

I'm objective and sometimes blunt, but always kind. I like to laugh and to make people laugh. I think that as much as your day sucks, you should try and keep smiling and having a positive attitude, that way not only you won't make other people's days worse, but you'll likely improve yours. I'm open minded and curious about everything(but not in an annoying way, I hope!).

When I was around 12 I was horseback riding with my sister. Her horse went crazy and she fell, but her foot got stuck in a rope so the horse was dragging her while it run wild. I jumped from my horse and got in front of hers. I was run over by the horse and had my leg broken in 3 places. Her horse didn't stop for about a mile.
In the end I had to undergo surgery to fix my leg and it still hurts. She had minor scratches and was just fine.
I wouldn't change anything about that day.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how stupid, narrow-minded and flat-out wrong it is; as long as they don't hurt anyone by being bigots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by telling people about this awesome way to travel, by going to CS gatherings and by trying to meet CouchSurfers around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've crashed at a completely stranger's couch. I was camping with a friend and we had absolutely no place to sleep, so we met this guy in the bus and he offered his couch. We took it but it was frightening. Nowadays I prefer travelling knowing I'll have a place to sleep!

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music and in movies is really criticized by my friends, but I stand by it. I like rock, pop, folk, classical... I listen to music while I cook, clean and read. I watch pretty much any movie, I just don't really go for horror movies.
I love to read, specially about history, politics and economy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've seen was the sunset at Punta del Este. The most amazing thing I've done was donating blood.

I know how to cook pretty decent food.
I can juggle 3 balls.
I can play rugby.
