Hi,
I am Ricardo, and I am usually terrible at describing myself, and I usually prefer to let other people describe me, but I'll do my best here.

I am a medical student, and that sort of dictates my life, which is marked by long hours of studying, exam taking, and many sleepless nights. However, I when I am not doing any medical-school-related work, I enjoy doing many other things that are not in any way related to medicine or biology, like photography, computer programming, salsa dancing, cooking, cycling, tennis, etc. But above all, I value a lot spending a good time with people from different backgrounds and cultures. I love talking about a variety of subjects and hearing different perspectives and opinions. I consider myself a open-mined, enthusiastic, and happy person and I will be happy to host other fellow travelers whenever I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started couch-surfing many years ago when I went on a backpacking trip to Europe. I had such a great experience with Couchsurfing during my trip. I met many kind and welcoming Couchsurfers who hosted us in their houses and showed us around. Since that time, I pledge to return the favor by doing the same for other fellow travelers.
