Hello there!
I grew up in the lovely mountains of Guatemala went to cinema college in Costa Rica and started my own production company a few years later.

By the time I turned 27 I promised myself that I would try to do something extraordinary every year, since then I have riden an electric motorcycle through south america, taken a solar boat down the Ganges, driven a Rickshaw 2000 kilometers down the mayan coast, sailed across the atlantic and kayaked fown the Danube.

This year i am cycling through Europe. So far i have made my way across Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein, Switzerland and now Italy.

As you may infer, I love the outdoors, camping, the challenges, the rush of doing something different and have plenty of stories to share. My friends would the describe me as easy going, and positive. When I am not training I like to read, write and watch movies. I love walking through cities, museums, cooking and trying new things.

I like to travel as light as possible and believe the most important thing about a journey is the people you meet along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Even though I have stayed i have made good friends in hostels around the world I try to avoid them because it seems to be exactly the same experience wherever you are; travelers from everywhere in the world just ticking items off a list asking each other where are they from and where have they been. I find the experience of making friends with someone local and experiencing the town and culture through their eyes much more rich, honest and interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sold or donated all my things except what I could fit on my backpack to keep things simple and true.

Teach, Learn, Share

In screenwriting class I learned a phrase that I have been able to apply to almost everything and has shaped most of my life: Action is character.

You are what you do, not what you say, not what you believe. Everything we do shapes the world we live in.
