About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The biggest risk in life is not taking one

ABOUT ME

I am a very outgoing person, I've lived in Montreal, Canada from 2004 to 2011 and i loved every minute of it; I moved to Austin, Texas in July 2011
I love this city for its diversity,art,music and the great parties
Austin is a great place to meet people, have fun and go rock climbing :).

PHILOSOPHY

this guy said the best:
"Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." - Emerson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to host as much people as i can, so we can exchange thoughts and life experiences

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted so far more than 30 people, its an amazing thing to meet people all over the world; i met these guys from Argentina, it seems that the girls love Karaoke and they even had a program on their laptop so we had an intersting english/spanish karaoke experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

movies: all kinds of documentaries as i find our society today is full of tv manipulation and in reality there are so many interesting things to learn out there that you won't find in a tv set. I highly recomand this website:
http://best.online.docus.googlepages.com/
and good foreign and american movies

music: good electronic music(european style :)), guitar/folk like Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Damien Rice, Jose Gonzales and so on...
and not to forgetr good indie/rock/alternative bands like: Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Gogol Bordelo, The Beastie Boys, Beirut and so on...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've put out a rock climbing route here in Austin, Texas, a 5.12a, called "Dinner with Dracula" :)

Teach, Learn, Share

If i learned one thing since i've been living in Montreal Canada, it is TOLERANCE. I think europeans have so much to learn from canadians regarding tolerance and integrating the new immigrants. I come from Europe, i love it, but although they go back thousands of years in history, one thing they still have to learn is TOLERANCE... and this applies to all the western countries like France, Germany, Austria, Spain and so on...

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Mexico, Nigeria, Panama, Spain, United States, Uruguay
