Overview
About Me
Designer and urban sketcher that loves new cultures and new languages.
I like to cook arabic and israeli food, play old SNES games, drawing and writing (always with my sketchbook on hands), reading history/philosophy/psychology books, spend a whole day analysing maps, dancing, meditation, having a beer with friends, woodworking and so on...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Since I was a kid I love to learn new languages and to have knowledge about new cultures, usually devouring history books from all over the world. So, Couchsurfing comes as an enriching experience for me, to help foreigners to know my culture and my country and show them what is special here for me as I learn new points of perspective and lifestyles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
That's a little bit complicated to explain for foreigners sometimes, but the most amazing thing that I ever did was to take care of my sick mom, my sick uncle and work and study at the same time, and at the brink of desperation, being able to enter in the best Latin America University in one of the most concurred courses and stabilizes everything (of course with some key people help).
