About Me

-----------------------------------TEMPORARY NOTICE-----------------------------------

I apologize for delays with my replies. At the moment I can't host any surfers since I moved out from the house where I was living over the past two years. I still need to update my profile and figure out the possibility of hosting people. You can still contact me to hang out though!

ABOUT ME

A citizen of the world currently living in Dublin, Ireland.

Traveling, exploring new places and going on new adventures are things I'm passionate about, the experience of living in Europe has given me new possibilities to visit other countries, meet new people and enjoy the cultural aspects of each place.

I'm a very grateful person who can enjoy the simplest things in life, therefore I have this wide and open appreciation of everything. In other words, I like to look at things objectively so that I can always find something enriching about each experience.

Music is what I love the most, especially composing my own music, I find it to be a great way of expressing how you feel about something. I have been in several projects where I've worked as a composer, I am currently working on recording my own stuff. Check out @agostinimusic on Facebook and Instagram and also my trio project @headtripacousticproject

PHILOSOPHY

This can be a hard one to explain.. Certainly not religious. I believe we are consciousness having an experience on this earth which will continue to expand and evolve. There is much more to see than what we are limited to perceive through what they call 'visible light'.

Being yourself, present and trusting your own intuition are things I consider essential.

PS.
I enjoy talking about these subjects, with a glass of wine maybe? Okay, a bottle would be better haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So far I find it to be an amazing community and idea! I have started hosting couchsurfers at my place in 2013 and the experience has been just awesome! Even hard to put into words. My idea is to make people feel as if they were home once they come here, so I try my best to spend time with them and so do my housemates. My goal is that the experience feels as much as an adventure for them as it is for me. I've definitely met some extraordinary people through Couchsurfing and I look forward to continuing to do so.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling on my own the first time was a lot of fun, I traveled all the way from Venezuela to Europe and visited several countries in one month, I also met up with people who I had only met on the Internet and even stayed at their places. This was a very uncommon thing to do back then and couchsurfing wasn't popular/known at all! haha so it was a whole interesting and adventurous experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy teaching others, I used to work as a Photoshop instructor for a while so this could be something I could help you with, anything related to photo editing. Among other things I could teach you music, mainly on the guitar but I can also play the piano. If you're interested in languages I can teach you Spanish, English and some Italian. If you ever wanted to learn how to juggle, then we could also get into that.

Countries I’ve Visited

Aruba, Belgium, Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
