I'm a documentary film producer who has travelled the world investigating social issues and doing my best to put them on the screen and create a visual testimony of the struggles people encounter world wide.
I believe in fighting for causes that help humanity thrive in a world where everyone can have the right of finding hapiness.
I created my profile years ago but never used it, so I'm new in this app and have no Facebook for some years now because it got tiring being on a social network where the social interactions became false and there was too much hate... I guess in that way I'm kind of old fashioned, but maybe through Couchsurfing the possibility of meeting people face to face is more possible.
I have a film company www.trestercios.cl where you can check my work if you'd like.
Today I'm in the US in this work: http://www.paulalopezwood.com/screenwriting/2016/11/20/idaho
Have a good day

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Throughout my travels I turn up in the most amazing and distant places. Sometimes the only place you can find to sleep are hotels which have nothing to do with their sorroundings, so I'm using this tool to try to find interesting people living in the places I travel, that can also give a perspective on the local reality.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm currenytly obsessed with the album Roots of Chicha by Quantic
Director Werner Herzog's entire filmography is my study base for almost everything I do.
A book that has helped me a lot throughout my travles is: A history of the World in 8 1/2 chapters by Julian Barnes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a zodiac trip in Antartica to see a penguins nest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught a lot of people how to surf, and I also am a martial artist which I believe is the most pure form of sport since it teaches you self discipline, sacrifice and respect towards others.

I really love to learn how to cook, I'm not that bad myself!
