About Me

I am Miguel,
Now I just finish a fantastic bike trip discovering the north of Europe with https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/saryyo. Now we are looking for a new place to live and share with travelers full of experiences.
We use more the warmshower net, because we travel normally by bike, and we share the profile: https://www.warmshowers.org/user/144593

I am vegetarian. I try to have a life as simple as possible with love for the nature and the small things. Easy going and adaptable, all the time trying to enjoy all the experiences I have in the life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a place very interesting to meet people and share with them a lot of ideas and emotions. Is a place where all the time I find people very nice and interesting, people who open my mind and demostrate that eveerybody wants the same: happiness.

Interests

In the beggining my favorite hobby was discover natural places, each time I travel I try to visit all the natural spaces that I can. I prefer, for example, visit the botanic garden of a city instead of visit an important museum. Or going to small towns close to the nature instead of big cities. But I have discovered that more than go to all this places, I love listen and share this moments with other people. After all in my memories I remember all this good persons on my way.

Honestly I would like to live in another kind of society, less consumist and more integrated with nature, the environment and other living beings with whom we share space. For now it's a difficult road, but not impossible. I like very much Ubuntu philosophy of "i am because we are". Because we are all the same and we need each other, between humans and with nature.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many movie genres, varies with the mood you have. If I should stay with a movie to have an example, I would choose french films like "Ensemble c'est tout" a movie based on a book by Anna Gavalda,"Le dîner de cons" or "Amelie". Travel films like "Into the wild", "The Darjeeling Limited" or "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty". Food films like "Bon appetit" or "Dieta mediterranea". Many of the films of Ghibli animation studios are also among my favorites. Chinesse films like "Hero", "Taichi hero", "The house of the flyings daggers", but my best one is "ocean heaven". Classic ones of course: "Life of Brian", new ones like: "The arrival" And others films that very few people knows, like "Honey", from Semih Kaplanoglu.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel by bike with my house in my backpacks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share a good conversation, speaking about many themes, no limits in the possibilities. Sometimes it surprises me how the conversations can jump from one thing to anothers planets.

People say that I don't cook bad, but I prefer to leave in less because I always forget to add salt in the food. I have a few idea in cook some dishes and I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen. But not every time finish fine. I remember again that i´m vegetarian, my dishes are all with vegetables ;-P.

I can practice my hobbies in any place. For example, practice yoga to be healthy, if you want to practice too we can practice together. Or can make a route in the nature if you have time.

And, after traveling by bike I have started to discover how to fix bikes. Something normal when someone travel during months and need to fix his bike.
