CURRENT MISSION
"Looking for my Instruction Manual. I am pretty sure I lost it when I was delivered. Mum doesnt remember where she left it."

ABOUT ME
"Being born into this world without an instruction guide book sucks. I am a 40 years old and yet don't know what the meaning of life is. In the mean time, I think meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures may give me some experience material to confront my next life. Please God, this time make it in somewhere sunny, with palm trees, exotic beaches in a paradise islands."

I am creative, sarcastic, easygoing who enjoys meeting other people and have curiosity for other people's culture. I also consider myself a bit shy, good listener, patient, tolerant and peaceful.

"My mum says that as far I am cute, being stupid is not a problem. Now that I getting old and bald, I hope to gain some knowledge, wisdom and experiences through the stories my CS guests tell me"

PHILOSOPHY
Trying to be happy without doing any harm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
"Collecting data and selling the personal information to send spam about Viagra and other marketing campaigns"

I hope I can be useful to my guest giving tips and advice about Santiago de Compostela or Galicia. If you have any question or doubt related to your travel, let me know and I'll try to help you.

I can meet any CS for a drink, a chat or language exchange and show them around. Just send me a private message.

I can offer a room to stay at night. Just read the rest of my profile and send me a CS request.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
"A sleepwalker nudist, a nymphomaniac grandma,a stutterer Klingonian ventriloquist, the world tallest pygmy, Mr Assange backpacking with a fake identity, ... -everyone has an story to tell-. Fires, floods, earthquakes, food poisoning, broken mirrors, haunted houses... -the evil eye was my story before the exorcism, now that I full recuperated I am loking forward to meeting you-"
Some experiences have been better than others, but in general good. I have still a lot to learn.

Interests

LANGUAGES
I participated in a language exchange group here in Santiago which I later became the organizer.

SPORTS
I don't consider myself a sporty guy, but since I have started going to the gym, a couple of years ago, I really enjoy some activities. I am fond of Capoeira, I wish I had took this activity when I war a kid or a teenager. I also enjoy some activities such as Combat, Tono.

HIKINGS
Although I am a bit lacy lately, I like walking in the nature, short or long walks, trails, paths or ways. I did the St Jame's Way (Camino de Santiago - GR65) from Le Puy in France to Santiago during the winter. It took me two months. Also I did the St Jame's Way from Portugal, from Coimbra to Santiago (15 days) and Camiño de Fisterra (4 days).

BEACH
I like relaxing in the beach or the river but I hate wearing wet swimming clothes that get stick to my skin. I meant I enjoy the full monty experience.

BOOKS
I like to read before going to sleep.

MUSIC
I like all kinds of music. I have a very eclectic and heterogeneous music taste.

ARTS
I studied Fine Arts and currently I work as a graphic and web designer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"In my last travel to ____, I saw a woman with moustache. (fill the gap with the country or region you make fun at. Or just pick it up randomly. There is always some place in the world that thinks that in your country the women have a lot of facial hear and or the men have a reputation for shagging sheeps, anyway.)"

I always wander how the stones, the corners, the places of Santiago de Compostela attracts the tourists and peregrines.. So I decided to do the "Camino de Santiago"(St. Jame's Way) to discover the city with foraying eyes. As free time was not a concern to me, I started from France. It took me two months to arrive to Santiago. Two months without tv, phone, newspapers,... walking 25-35Km per day and sleeping in different places every night.
