Because of my profession, I do travel a lot. But most of these trip are working trips - I know plenty of airports and impersonal hotels, which I have come to really dislike. A year ago or so I decided it was time for a change, time to start making things in a different way. I resigned from my position and now I am trying to approach life in a different, more relaxed, definitely better and more conscious way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is part of the transformation process I described above. Even if I still travel for professional reasons, I want to do it in a different way. I want to have the opportunity to meet more locals, to eat where they eat, to spend time around them, rather than staying all the time in fancy, business-like hotels. I hope Couchsurfing will give me the opportunity to discover amazing things and people behind the marble halls of the hotels where I used to stay.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music tastes are very eclectic. My Ipad is filled with many different music styles - from classical, to rock, pop or folk. It depends on my state of mind - sometimes I prefer Mozart, sometimes U2 or Buena Vista Social Club.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with dolphins in Amazonian Bolivian rivers.

Teach, Learn, Share

That´s what life is about - Teach, Learn, Share. In my case, I´d put Learn ahead of Teach. I don´t think I have many things to teach but there are millions of things I am keen to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a well-seasoned traveller, I can share plenty of experiences, plenty of emotions, plenty of ideas, plenty of beautiful images that I have treasured in my mind during all these years of incessant travelling
