ABOUT ME

Ideas, Humour, Fun, Laughter, Travel (duh!)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live

“I shambled after as I’ve been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”

Jack Kerouac, On the road

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to CS and would love to participate in any way I can. My idea is to meet people from different cultures / people with vast travel experiences and share ideas. I am open to hosting you, provided you have something to offer. A new recipe from your country, a local song, an interesting travel experience, a magic trick, a joke that I have never heard, anything :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to CS. I travelled a lot in Scotland in 2008 with nomad backpackers and loved that experience. Would love to have such a company here, great if CS can provide me that opportunity.
