About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Constant work and learning to be a better person tomorrow

ABOUT ME

I'm a hard worker who studies to be the best in his profession (Economist). Winning the Nobel Prize is in fact a dream, but a dream that is worth to follow :)
Concerning my hobbies, I would say I have a special passion for sports (v.gr. football, tennis, rugby)... but traveling and meeting new people is something I'm really fund of!

PHILOSOPHY

Be the best person you can be
Follow your dreams and don't give up
If you fall one time then just get up and try again
Not only is important to take opportunities but also to know how to create them
It's always better to try several times and fail because of misfortune than not having tried at all

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I signed up in November 23st 2010, so I already have some experience in couchsurfing (especially in Europe). Luckily, all of them were positive to me, which means that I'm gonna keep using this wonderful site to travel around the world and meet new people from different countries :)
