About Me

Well I'm a chill guy. My life goal is to be happy wherever life takes me. My life's philosophy is Kindness; I don't expect it to be for everyone, but I will always try to do my best to make people enjoy their time here on earth. Love talking about a variety of topics ranging from the natural science to political justice. I'm often logical, but spiritual, in touch with intuition. I am passionate about public health, medicine and voluntary work. I love dancing any type of music that moves my body, especially Salsa, Caribbean music or even House Music. I like outdoor adventures, where you can feel free and in tune with nature.
Anything more you want to know, you can just go ahead and ask me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe this is a great platform to meet new and exciting people all over the globe. Mostly I want to take (and give) a great experience from both parts; being a surfer and a host. I'm more interested in people than places.

Music, Movies, and Books

In my personal playlist there is mostly Rock (Linkin Park, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Killers, ...) but I can listen, depending on the mood, reggae, rap, salsa, indie.
I'm a moviephile, like for real, specially philosophical and adventure movies like Mr. Nobody, Her, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Prefer drama and comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most of the amazing things I've done are voluntary work. I used to volunteer at the program Dr. Clown, inspired in Patch Adams, visiting the pediatric unit of hospitals to bring smiles to the rooms of the kids. Sometimes that is all they need to get thru the day. I've also worked in a TEDx event as an organizer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope I can share experiences and my culture. Maybe some jokes too. I don't expect that my host's life will pause for the moment I stay there but I prefer to be with a host that could be available at least one night (or day) to talk or go out during my time with them.
