Since the beginning of 2014 I have lived in Rio de Janeiro where I work as a freelance journalist, photographer and documentarist.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

CS gives me the opportunity to make new friends and get a better understanding of different groups and cultures.

Intereses

My biggest interest is to learn what motivates people and what ultimately makes them happy.

In the past years i've been obsessed with reading biographies and other books about people who are happy and/or succesful.

Add to that things like: writing, photography, traveling, movies, filmmaking, journalism, sports, music etc.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Moving to South America is one of the most amazing things I've ever done.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

As a journalist I have learned the value of listening and asking questions. Through my education and work I was surprised to learn how much people have to offer when you approach them with patience and curiosity. That may be obvious to most people. Yet too many people seem to forget this.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can share stories.

Through my work I have the great privilege to meet a lot of different people and go a lot of places.

In the past year i've met everything from drug addicts and gangsters to important religious leaders, politicians, truck drivers, homeless, samba dancers, prostitutes, indigenous tribes, soccer players and fans, protesters... the list goes on...

I hope it all adds to me as a person and the stories that I share with people I meet along the way.
