ABOUT ME

I am just a common person who didn't want to have a common life, at least not the one that was expected.The world is so big and life is too short, so I decided to follow my dreams and after more than 10 years traveling, now I'm just deciding what's coming next...and that's not easy! About me? it's difficult to describe yourself, but I try to be a honest person, sometimes I am bit shy but once you know me better shyness is gone :) what else? ...peter pan sindrome? yeah...i don't want to grow up, but who wants to??? :

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy your life as much as you can...you've just got one, and time is running so fast! Is better to take the risk of doing something than never trying. Maybe you'll make a mistake, but you'll never know unless you try. So, Just do it!! ;

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not really based in any place but I spend most of the time in Barcelona ( my hometown city) or Istanbul... so If anyone needs info about Barcelona or Istanbul just ask! Also If I have free time I can show you Istanbul by day and even by night, specially if you like rock!!! (but I have to confess I don't go out often anymore :S

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Silk road in 2001, my first travel experience, from Istanbul to Xi'an ( China ) in 6 months Visit the exclusion zone of Chernobyl and Prypiat ghost town, staring at the rusty ships in the middle of the desert where once was the Aral Sea, and walking around the bombed city of Shusha was something really amazing and at the same time good examples of the human stupidity
