Music, Movies, and Books

Music that sends you off to another universe, so mostly psychedelic but I love jazz, bossa nova, flamenco, krautrock, funk, soul, surf.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo trekking Cocuy National Park in Colombia and Alpamayo Circuit (Huascaran National Park) in Peru was a great physical and spiritual experience. Climbing Cotopaxi (5987 mts) in Ecuador other 5000m peaks in cocuy and nevado del Tolima. Improvising music is entering a heightened state of mind, every single jam is a collective flow of thoughts and emotions between people and yourself, meditation is the only thing that comes any close to it. Playing festivals is also quite the adrenaline rush.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help in any way I can with Spanish, English or French, since im fluent in all 3. I can teach you alot about guitar, specially electric, it's an instrument I know inside an out. I also have good music production skills as well as mixing/mastering, in case you want to know more about that

What I Can Share with Hosts

Im in a music headspace 24/7, so you can expect that music will be a topic and definitely I love to jam and play with others. , im a good hiking/climbing buddy as well.
