I'm a Venezuelan guy settled in Ireland. I'm in love with the English-speaking culture and I've lived in England, USA and now in Ireland. Music and film lover, and too talkative for my own good. Since music is one of my passions, but I can't play any instrument, nor sing without hurting people's ears, I tend to get involved in the music scene of the city I live in. Since I'm currently Dublin-based, I go to as many gigs as possible, check new bands, and get familiar with the Irish rock scene (which is superb). I cycle, I run, I swim; but I'm also nerdy when it comes to movies, tv shows , books and pop culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've done my fare share of traveling. I've met amazing people on the way and for the past couple of years my living conditions didn't allow me to host anyone. I'm not surfing much, but I do like meeting new people and showing the outsider point of view of a vibrant city like Dublin is something I definitely enjoy. So I want to continue with the tradition (of hosting) and hopefully start making new friends in the process.
