About Me

CURRENT MISSION
At the moment I'm heading to Bristol to take on curatorial research on contemporary art, I look for good places to meet and I enjoy getting to know a city by walking a lot in it. I'm aware of the weather!

I'd like to learn as much as possible while I'm there, enjoy good food, few drinks and talks. Street food and art are nice!

ABOUT ME
Born and raised in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. I work with contemporary art and audio post production as well as advertising. I'm not too picky. Looking forward to climbing volcanoes and mountains sometime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to find people who are willing to hang out, play Counter-Strike, introduce me to the city's context and walk around a bit. I'm easy going and like to listen.

Interests

I'm a curator for an independent contemporary art space back home, I'd like to check out different spots and also like music, football and Counter-Strike.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play bass on indie-rock band Torkuatos. My taste in music is diverse, used to DJ at some point in life as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I co-created an independent contemporary art space in 2024. It's called Espacio CACA (@espacio.caca if you're on instagram)

Teach, Learn, Share

Japanese guy who doesn't know Japanese btw. But I used to teach Spanish for a while. I'm learning about contemporary art curation, not really sure if ready to teach but we can talk about it. I know about audio post production, that I can do!

I'd love to learn more about pottery and glazing. I'm curious about trading, and video post production.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything about my point of view as a South American Japanese, anything about artists I know or enjoy, casual conversations or talks about personal obsessions can be fun too. I'm usually quiet but will chat if you'd like to talk about something you or I enjoy!
