About Me

I’m really into traveling and getting to know the character of the people from the countries I visit. I love everything related to the outdoors and nature. I live for adventures: the epic ones, the silly ones, even the miserable ones. I'll keep it clean, and I'm open to any (reasonable) request you have of me as a guest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's nothing like staying with a local in a new city. During my last years of traveling, I’ve stayed with several different hosts and attended countless hangouts. I shared a lot of my hosts with other couchsurfers so a lot of them don't show up on my profile :/ I love the idea of travelers exchanging one favor for another, not necessarily with each other, but between the couchsurfing community as a whole. I feel like I've got friends in every city and maybe even a nice place to stay with a cool person/people.

I’m also looking for people in the area who are into adventure sports and making exercise interesting!

Interests

Climbing, free diving and scuba, learning languages, nutrition, running barefoot like a crazy man, my dog, hanging out with fun and/or interesting people (ideally they would be both), off-the-wall ideas about making art, the environment and sustainability, JOB OPPORTUNITIES, le science, exploring and living in the wilderness.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like everything from the golden oldies, classical, experimental, cumbia, chicha, Cubana, alternative, electro-death-acoustic-gangsta-swing-metal-jazz, music that goes like ‘bing bong bing’, Elvis, bluegrass, Balkan, Siberian throat singing, and nothing else besides that. I like movies and books are worth my time because they make me think or reconsider my previous notions. I’m way behind on my watching and reading list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Somehow end up on planet Earth, decide not to go back to USA because I was bored and stay in Europe for 6 years, hitchhike from Spain to Poland, live in the Panamanian rainforest.
