Life is a Strawberry !!!

ABOUT ME

I am that kind of person who likes to SMILLE ;) !!! Personally, I don't think I could describe me at all, i will let you do that instead. I have been told i am an easy going individual. Actually several people told me that, so I guess that might be true. I am good listener. I love music , travelling and get to know new people. I am sure this web site will be the right place for someone like me.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be so hard to your self, we are just poor humans trying to be happy. And of course happiness is always point of view. I am quite interested on knowing what is your point of view.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will be here doing as best as I can to find you some where my new friend.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I went to spain in 2010 I vist my friend in Seville. we wanted to in Valencia - So, my friend new about this website and asked what I would think about to couch surfing in that trip. I said, "yes, let's go for it". The host was very kind and such a nice person, so I decided to join it.

Interests

My theory is that we never get to know anybody and this is a good thing. However, we can experience them and at the same time to identify a little bit of us in each person we meet.
