It's so hard to describe yourself in these bios without sounding like a perfect idiot, lol.

So, yes, my name is Ariel, like the little mermaid - there’s my top-notch icebreaker for you. 😜 (Did I just ace sounding like a perfect muppet with my opener? Probably)

Anyway, I'm easygoing person, love a good laugh, and always up for fun. I'm looking to meet people who are as cool as me, to share laughs, grab a drink, or check out the city wherever I am when you're reading this.

And, just to be clear, because it seems we need to say it these days: Couchsurfing isn't for dating! and also sorry, but showing up without clothes isn't my thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here because my GPS got broken, seeking the meaning of life among strangers' couches and locals' advice. I just hope I don’t end up being adopted by a family of stray cats in the process.

I've been traveling around the world for almost 10 years now. Sure, I stop sometimes, but I'm usually just wandering and enjoying being a bit lost.

Interests

Walking tours: I'm an expert in pretending to understand every historical fact while actually thinking about where to eat next.

Never a no to coffees, beers, wine, vodka, petrol.

Hiking time to time.

I love spending hours in museums, mostly because I can't find the exit but also because they always have aircon on.

Language exchanges 😍

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movie is "The secret life of Walter Mitty". "Le Chevalier à l'armure rouillée" my favourite book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Vietnam by Motorbike: On an old Honda Wave 110cc. Almost 1000km, and a few stories.

Solo Latin American Trip.

Kidnapped in Bolivia: Participated in an unplanned cultural exchange program.

Got lost in a magic Place “La Isla del Sol” and I met a furry friend, who turned out to be more of an ancestral spirit, or a mystical alpaca, I still don’t know…

Lived the quiet life in a small village in Italy, mastering the art of speaking with my hands.

Hitchhiking in New Zealand: Expected a sequel to my Bolivian adventure with two All Blacks lookalikes. Ended up in a rugby scrum of kindness instead.

Polish Drinking Fiasco: Tried to outdrink Poland. Poland won. Received a fine as a souvenir. Kurwa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my time 😌

Teach you some of my knowledge about the diversity of Spanish and teach you some Lunfardo.

What I Can Share with Hosts

People often say I'm the nicest guy they've met - you can judge for yourself, but just a heads up, I come with an infectious smile😄 Couchsurfing to me isn't about saving a few $$$; it's about diving into the real vibe of a place, it's about traveling with people and through people, and well, find drink partners around the globe, that as well heheh.
Salut!
