About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trabajando en San Jose, Costa Rica

ABOUT ME

I enjoy life at its fullest when travelling. Relying on people's kindness, learning from people all over the world and from all walks of life.

The connection with people, all with different backgrounds, is what makes travelling the most interesting. Not the sights people take photos of.

That having said, I'm sociable, interested, and helpful. Everybody has his/her downsides, but I'm doing my best to make a difference: and differences are made on the individual scale!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about experience, not happiness, money, or status. Learning about life, by living it to the fullest, is the world's best experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

How I participate? I'm new into couch surfing, but I'm not new into having people over or staying at stranger's places. And that's how I like to do it: meeting new people when travelling, and when getting to meet travellers in my home!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept in offices, train station benches, on parking lots of highways, as a guest of Honduran campesinos.. and over the years my couch has met people from Finland, Argentina, Brasil, Bulgaria..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experiencing first hand what motivates people doing extraordinary things and involving myself. Living some days with campesinos all around, drinking from the quebrada, eating from the land, walking through the forest and the mountains!
