About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get a new laught.

ABOUT ME

I don't think that is possible for anyone to write EVERYTHING about ourselfs. If we knew all about us there wouldn´t be psychologist, or any mistic around us that make people pay us attention, so I rather saying a few thing about me, like I am calm and direct person, that despite look serious all the time (well, not in the picture but in person believe me that I do), but I usually never say anything VERY seriously.

Oh, I also should say that at the beginning I'm quite shy, but the moment I have confidence I chill out and try to show the best of me, and become very talkative...

PHILOSOPHY

"With the nap the day has two mornings"

"You must be patient, young padawan"- Obi-Wan Kenobi dixit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have to admit that my directional sense (if that exists) is a little bit atrophied, so if you want to arrive to a certain place, I'll probably make you go to lots of others before. I believe that this is perfect for a tourist, who wouldn't like to get lose in Paris ? (Buenos Aires, Paris... almost the same)

I am a direct person, but for my experience as a tourist, or a citycen, I like to have a good treatment with people. At the end everything returns.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started with couch surfing because of a friend that invited me to meet with two french couch surfers. They were so cool that I decided to break the mold and make myself a couch surfer. I discovered that I enjoy finding out about other cultures and also that if I ever travel to another country I will have a more deeply experience.
