About Me

Hi everyone! 大家好!My tiny magic house are humble but my heart is big. (read the next topic, it's all the true and it's better)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hi everyone! I can give hosting only one people, because my little magic house is very precarious.
But, let me tell you all my story, maybe some of you can help me more than I can do for you, aniways my tiny house is open for all.
Here it is: "5 years ago before the pandemic started I decided to close my little publishing house to start with my life project: creating and shooting my first important project. To finance my project, I sold everything I had. My project was a fantasy and martial arts series that started in China, for which I had spent three years studying, researching and learning Chinese history. At the same time, that project was my final thesis for the film degree.
During the pre-production stage, I managed to interest an important Hollywood production company and I was filming a Proof of Concept to present a Pitch and convince the producers. The pandemic started and my dream was put on hold. The rest of the story was trying to make it a reality to at least visit the places in China where I had been working since I had no money left and the future was uncertain in many ways. Currently I am working in digital art and teaching drawing. As time goes by, what I want most now is to tell the story I was filming to the Chinese because they were, without knowing it, the ones who inspired me when I decided to present my thesis on a specific event in the history of that country, building a fantastic story around it and knowing what they think of my story. On the other hand, I want to draw it to tell it to those who want to know it and I would really like to do it sitting in Xian, where the events that gave rise to my story happened". In the middle of my search for possible travel strategies, I found this platform. I thought that my house is very precarious and I think that there is little I can offer, but it is a magical little house and I can only accommodate one person.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Chinese movies, not all of them but,(英雄 (Hero) Zhang Yimou)(八百, "800" without Andrea Bocelli's song) but the most I like is to watch anime and wuxia movies.
Read fantasy books like Harry Potter, The Lord of Rings, wowww, Argentinian writer Liliana Bodoc...
I like play Genshin but I have no time and (i'm a bit crunchy, bad motricity)
Oh about music I like Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Cold Play, The Hu and other mongolian bands, Obviously Chinese music the old and the new. I like to listen erhu sounds and guqin, also bamboo flute. Xu Wei, Z Tao...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think all I made was incredible, over all my last adventure that's called "gu" 蛊 (mi life project) and my next one: "travel to China" to know the place I wrote about and gave birth to my most important dream.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you tom draw digital painting and not digital too. I can teach you spanish and English but you have to help me with my Chinese!!
I can teach you the most I know but you help me to learn the most you know too! I prefer chinese people because I can practice my chinese but... 我说。一点点

What I Can Share with Hosts

In can offer you a place to sleep but I'm a bad chef, we can talk about life and everything we like. I can... show you my drawings, I don't know.
Please don't smoke inside, don't use drugs, don't get drunk (not much :) I work at home so when I'm working you have to go, because some of my students are "very special" and can't feel good if other unknown people are in. That's rules to make happy people.
