CURRENT MISSION

To see, learn, experience other cultures, societies and ways of life.

ABOUT ME
Social, sarcastic, with a black humor. I consider myself minimalist, for me there is no point of having/owning so many things(material stuff), I think that if we are gonna go from this world without anything; well, what's the point of having your garage(if you have one of course) packed with stuff that we're not using.

PHILOSOPHY

"Lento que llevo prisa"

"The Triumph of the Philosophy of Atheism, is to free man from the nightmares of Gods: it means the dissolution of the phantoms of the Beyond" -Emma Goldman-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think is awesome hosting all kinds of people, but I also think that some of them still don't get exactly the meaning of CS, it's not only a place where you can crash, take a shower and use the kitchen. Remember guys, its NOT A FREE HOSTEL!!... Like I said before! I'm very social, and I usually like to get to know the people who I'm hosting, so if you're not interested in interacting with the host, then probably is not a good idea for you to use this site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting many people, most of them from north America and Europe for the last 15 or so years( lots of them not from CS).
Is always cool if you can stay in someone's place, that way it's easier to know and meet the culture of the country that you're visiting. They can help you find places that probably won't be in your guidebook.

I had a few experiences, the last one was with Sofia and Katherina

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spending a night up in a freezing salty lake in Tibet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play ping-pong, some 80's moves.
I want to learn from others, you can't say that you know everything, there is always something new that others can teach you, I love that.
