About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get surprised at myself while meeting new amazing places and people along my path.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling since I was a teenager, getting to know new cultures and different ways of living life. I am social, I always like to meet new people no matter where they come from. I am generous if people treat me well. I have offered my housing many times as well as been hosted by others too! I like to be in contact with natural life, specially the beach and sea sailing. I am interested in economics, culture, cinema, music, wildlife and science fiction. I'm spontaneous and happily easy going. I like cooking for small and mid-size groups, specially paellas. I am passionate at enjoying little things with happy people that take life easy with respect and joy.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a happy journey for me that needs to be taken as an unexpected set of experiences with a goal you want to reach. Along the path you'll find all sorts of senses that enrich yourself and the people around you. I am peaceful, respectful and generous on that journey as long as people treat me in the same way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am looking for a place to stay while moving along my trip, and in return I offer a good relaxing company. I like to cook for several people.

Interests

I have been hosted many times in many different countries. I have also hosted lots of different people at my place. In one occasion arriving at Istanbul I was asking for directions to find a place to stay, eventually I was invited to stay at a local's home with their family to which they hosted me for over a month!
