About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet interesting people, everywhere!

ABOUT ME

May be I belong to a bunch of categories. I like to travel, make allmost all types of sports, have trips and adventures, and learn something diferent everyday. I talk to everyone and say the things straight. I have been related to Banking and finance themes; I wish I had a lot more time to travel and know more places and people...

PHILOSOPHY

I can make it short, Henry Ford: "Either you think you can do it or not, you are going to be right".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Networking, meeting new people and convince them to join the CS2 project, I wish in the future I can do much more, with more resources.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interesting to meet people who see the world as an only one country!

Interests

I'm always interested in meeting new people who have interesting things to share, of course traveling, knowing more places. I'm interested in knowing people who wants to know more and are hungry for knowledge, but specially to know the cultures, values, how other people think, etc. I like some games to play like card games, poker, chess, etc. I like extreme sports, motorcycles, bikes, cars, motorsports, etc. I have always been related to sports, all my life. (Baseball, tae kwon do, swimming, squash, gym, softball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, athletics, mountain biking, surfing, rafting, canopy, bungee jumping, skiing, etc). I'm always seeking new business oportunities, entreprenurial style.

25 Random things (needs translation):
1. Me gustan casi todos los deportes, extremos también. (No tipo golf, solo caminan la mayoría del tiempo.)
2. Me gusta la pizza, es mi comida favorita.
3. Duermo profundamente, pienso que es parte de la sanidad física y mental hacerlo.
4. Le tengo miedo a unas pocas cosas y no es la muerte.
5. Siempre me han gustado las juntas de 2.
6. Me gusta la tranquilidad, aún que si se combina con un poco de loquera por tiempos, es ideal.
7. Motores, autos, motos, etc.
8. Soy muy competitivo, siempre que no se pueda encuentro buenas excusas también.
9. Trabajar con gente que sabe como divertirse mientras trabaja fuerte, es lo máximo.
10. Una cerveza y un cigarro una vez al mes, malo no es.
11. Estudiar, no por el acto, por lo que se aprende.
12. Interesante conocer gente que tenga algo diferente que decir.
13. Agua, arena, playa, sol, et. Pero también montaña, árboles, naturaleza, etc.
14. Difícil escribir randoms, pienso demasiado, me complico siempre.
15. Altaneros, que piensan que les deben todo y no son nadie, nada que ver.
16. Esforzados, constantes, agradecidos, estamos de acuerdo.
17. Ahora, ¿como agrego valor? (Como sirvo de algo, como puedo hacer mejor lo que hago, que es lo que me hace que yo valga algo)
18. Siempre gracias, pero esta vez no. (Buena manera de rechazar a alguien).
19. Tene fe en algo, en Dios, en el Karma, etc. Pero creelo profundamente.(S. Jobs)
20. Pienses que lo puedas hacer o no, estarás en lo correcto (H. Ford)
21. Hablando claro (J. Welch)
22. Gane el premio JVC (Jura verse culo), o sea... no por que necesariamente sea, solo por todos perciben que yo juro verme un culo. No me molesto, me dio bastante risa.
23. Lenguaje corporal, se entiende más sin una sola palabra.
24. A donde sea que he ido, en diferentes proporciones, siempre estan, por eso quiero seguir conociendo y viajando, expandiendo mis fronteras mentales, el porque de las cosas. Tal vez encuentre algo completamente diferente. La esperanza es lo último que se pierde.
25. La familia, no tiene sustituto, siempre trataré de estar cerca, aun que no este fisicamente allí.
