About Me

Come check out the California capital. If you write a request, please ask how the green monster is treating me and why you are visiting Sacramento. I get it, travelling is expensive but this isn't a hostel service. Also less likely to host if you don't host others. Write something about yourself as well so I can get a better picture of who I could potentiañly be hosting. Those who fail to include these three things in their requests will be less likely to be hosted.

CURRENT MISSION

To have adventures with locals of different countries and to create lasting memories for me to hold to when I'm old.

ABOUT ME

Tranquilo, Simpático, Gracioso. Me gusta conocer gente, aunque estoy un poco tímido pero eso cambia muy rápido cuando conozco una persona, porque así empezamos comprender el mundo.

PHILOSOPHY

Amar y aprender de gente. La vida es muy corta. Por tanto me quedo calmado casi siempre. Yo creo que estamos aquí para extender amor entre otros seres humanos y también aprender de otras personas. Con éstas dos cosas, un individuo, en mi opinión, mejora porque desarrolla un conocimiento más profundo de la humanidad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Introduced by a German friend I met in Sevilla. He attested this was the best way to absorb local culture so I thought I would give it a try.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hasta ahora, todas las experiencias que he tenido con Couchsurfing son memorias muy preciosas que poseeré todo mi vida. La mejor manera para aprender sobre culturas, idiomas y conocer gente tranquila que solo quieren compartir su propia vida también.

Interests

Me encantan leer libros y los consumo con avidez. Cuando no estoy haciendo eso, estoy andando por las calles, explorando, dando vueltas en mi bici, escuchando música, hablando con familiares, escribiendo cartas y cuentos, haciendo cosas con mi jardin, haciendo tonterías, haciend ejercicio o teniendo una fiesta con ojos rojos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Viajé a México con una "tabla" de ácido para guadar y consumir en mi trigésimo cumpleaños en las junglas de Chiapas. Con mis amigos, pasamos todo el día en pueblo de Aguas Azules, tirandónos en el agua mientras admirábamos la vibrancia del agua, las piedras, los arboles y el ambiente de la aldea. Aún abajo los efectos, sucedió un apagón que cortó toda la electricidad en el pueblo. Decidimos salir y asomar al cielo lleno de estrellas para fumar un porro. Madre mía, que maravilla. Parecía como una via galatica conectando todas las estrellas!.

Did a water fast for 103 hours to welcome the new year with a clean body and also to see if I had the mental discipline to avoid food even when I was surrounded by people eating. Next up is a 120 hour water fast!

My friends and I ventured to Joshua Tree National Park and consumed mushrooms. As we progressed further into hallucinating states of mind, we experienced nature on an intimate level and felt one with the earth. Eventually, we reached the pinnacle of our trip only to find ourselves in the desert watching the sun set.

I dressed in a wizard costume and stationed myself on a bridge at my university. When people tried to pass, I told them ¨You shall not pass¨ and when they said something, I collapse to the ground as if I was dead and waited until someone revived me with a magical spell.

Hice dedo durante mi recorrido de la costa oeste de Irlanda, conociendo personas muy güay y compartiendo risas.
