Hello!

Nice to meet you :) My name is ÁIvaro. I'm in a moment of exploration, of sharing, giving and connecting. I'm very open-minded, empathetic, compassionate, funny, fit and nerdy (fit and nerdy? xd). I'm highly fluent in English and in everything science. Although I have recently become part of the community, I am very experienced in sharing, living together and communicating.

My life is currently studying physics while working as a freelance in education and quality control. I also play football (soccer) locally and I used to play music a lot. Looking forward to filling my profile with overwhelmingly positive and loving references... and hopefully true friendships!

As much as I love receiving personalized requests (like everyone), my understanding is that the time it takes to write them is unrealistic, given the sheer number of requests you likely have to send before even getting a reply, let alone a host! So, feel free to copy-paste most of it :) On the other hand, as much as I love too to write a personalized response... more oftem than not all I can manage is a quick decline without further explanation!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am eager to form new genuine friendships at this time. Also, if I travel, it's for the people and the culture; learning, sharing, and connecting. Couchsurfing is just about perfect!

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything non-fictional that is well-grounded or proposes something intriguing, to deepen your understanding of the world, oneself, or others. Movies, again, the ones that blow your mind. Music: I'm exploring new textures in electronic music and looking for good bass lines, but my classics are, in no particular order: Radiohead, Elton John, RHCP, Alt-J, Moderat, Arcade Fire, early Muse, Arctic Monkeys, RATM... I'm listening to podcasts a lot at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have changed the lives of people. In particular, two lost adolescents, a girl and a boy, that were on an inevitable road to disaster, that we managed to turn around completely 🪄 🏆

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't get me started on the teaching, learning and sharing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

First and foremost, huge respect for you, your place and your life story. Flexibility, cleannes, kindness and understanding. Secondly, I am definitely buying food and cooking; I'm not traveling out of anybody's money and I will leave your place better that how I found it. Thirdly and finally (let's leave it in three) If I'm sending you a request is because I like you, and I would be bringing you quite the experience: being our true selves, laughter, knowledge, wisdom, growth, incredible vibes and energy... Yes, see you soon!!
