I think you can fit all my philosophy under one quote of the great Marco Aurelio :"You may leave this life at any moment: have this possibility in your mind in all that you do or say or think." That's it, I feel it deep inside me and I am filled with a hunger to live and enjoy life and my time here.
I am passionate about travelling and connecting with people, this is why I hitchhike.
I love stepping out of my comfort zone and growing, meeting people from all different backgrounds and beliefs that I can learn from, since I believe that one should always remain humble and open minded enough to allow other to teach him.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love country music, I just think it's the perfect tune for travelling. But I also enjoy hip hop, folk , r&b and blues.

As for the books I love the alchemist by Paulo Coelho, and many others, specially historic novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Virginia,USA for a year as an exchange student.

Plus i did an incredible hitch hiking solo round trip in norway where i went all the way up from oslo to the north cape and then from the north cape to bergen and stavanger, it was my first time travelling alone and the first time i was using couchsurfing and hitch hiked, had a wonderful experience and met a lot of great people
Also i swam in the atlantic see in Fauske, Norway a city that is above the artic cirlce (the water was super cold!!)

Hiked and nearly died half of mount toupkal in Morocco.

Slept in the sahara dunes under the most bright stars I've ever seen

Crossed Europe hitchiking from Madrid to Konya in Turkye.

Lived for 6 months in Ibiza working the summer season.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to hear your travel stories, your thoughts about life and get to know you and whatever drives you.
I'll be able to share as well my stories and trust me I've got a lot after having hitch-hiked across Europe alone and twice across Morocco.
I like to learn how to say, hello and thank you in all languages so I'll be happy to learn how that's said in yours

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice place to sleep, coffee water and sometimes food (though I usually don't have anything fresh as I meal prep and freeze my meals once every 2/3 weeks).

Bedsheets and Towels, but I'd appreciate if you bring your own travel towel or sleeping bag.

Show you around if I'm free from work and give you good recommendations.
