Many people may find my stories a bit interesting and other may not. However, I have plenty of stuff to talk about living in populated Latin american city. My hometown is Guayaquil, where I have lived most of my life, that place is hot as hell!
At the begging of 2015 I finally achieved my dreamed trip around South America, from Ecuador to Rio de Janeiro, and many cities in the way.
In May 2015 I moved to Dublin trying to learn English (Not the best English thou... whatever!) then I moved to UK in Sept 2016, for a one year master programme(boring...).
I was hosting travelers since 2007 until I started travelling myself in 2015. Actually, my first guesses were not through this platform, it was using HospitalityClub.org. The creators of that lovely website turned to the dark side, the business, they founded Airbnb.com.
Btw, I am a professional in the field of logistic and transportation (I know... Boring. But if you interested in the topic we may have some productive conversation).

PHILOSOPHY
1st- Si no vives para servir no sirves para vivir. (Which means something like: Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile).
2nd- Más ayuda el que menos estorba. (Something like: The best way to (be of) help is by not making a nuisance of yourself).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It was the only way to travel without living my house. Every story, every anecdote helped me to keep my impetus to travel.
Meanwhile, I happened to meet many interesting people from far away places, from Colombia to Taiwan. I have never regretted getting myself involve in CS, definitively it is a little part of my life.
Then, it was my turn to travel. Which mean only one thing: more wonderful souls I met.

Interests

I love watching movies. Of any type, but not that much the extremely cheesy ones.
Grabbing a pint with friend is always a good, even more to test new beers.
Dog kind of person.
