About Me

I'm a computer scientist tired of computers. I'm just looking for funny things to do.
I like playing sports.. boxing, muay thai, snowboarding, paddle, table tennis, kitesurfing... and would like to try wakeboard, telemark and some more one of these days. I enjoy traveling and trying local food, preferably rare food. I think it doesn't exist any meal that I don't like.
Ok, I need to update, I'm Vegan now
I don't smoke, but you can somke near me.
I'm curious, always looking for new adventures, and I don't like to stay still for a long time
I love animals. I rescue hurt dogs from the streets, heal them, and look for a family who can take care of them. There are many stray dogs in my country and they should have a better life. Should have been a vet.

Soy un informatico cansado de las computadoras, tratando de vivir mas tranquilo y fuera de la oficina. Solo ando buscando cosas divertidas para hacer. Me gusta practicar deportes.. boxeo, muay thai, sonwboard, paddle, ping pong, kitesurf... y me gustaria probar telemark, wakeboard y algunos otros. Me gusta mucho viajar con amigos y probar comidas locales, sobre todo si son comidas raras. No creo que exista ninguna comida que no me guste.
(Actualización: ahora soy vegano)
No fumo, pero podes fumar cerca mio
Curioso, aventurero, no me gusta quedarme quieto mucho tiempo.
Me gustan los animales. Rescato perros callejeros enfermos o heridos, los curo y les busco una familia. Hay muchos en mi pais y deberian vivir en mejores condiciones. Deberia haber sido veterinario.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not so serious. Working is not so important. Take it easy, go have fun

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't like big hotels and crowded tourist beaches, I don't like to see landscapes I can see all the time in magazines and TV. I don't like the all inclusive bracelet. What I enjoy is to get to those lost places where local people eat and have fun, make friends, play soccer at the school yard in Fez, Morocco with the guys of the neighbourhood, go to birthday parties in Mexico DF, celebrate new year in San Jose de Costa Rica with new friends and their family, take a walk accross the mountains in a village out of the tourists maps, listening childhood stories from the guy I met in the streets who shared his home with me.
I can't host people at home, my brother doesn't understand it like me. I will when I get my own place, that's for sure.

No me gusta ver hoteles grandes y playas saturadas de turistas, no me gusta ver paisajes que veo en la tele o en las revistas, tampoco me gusta la pulserita de los all inclusive. Lo que quiero es llegar a los lugares donde llega la gente local, donde ellos comen y se divierten, hacer amigos, jugar al futbol en el patio de la escuela de Fez, Marruecos con los chicos del lugar, ir a fiestas de cumpleaños en Mexico DF, pasar año nuevo en San Jose de Costa Rica con nuevos amigos y su familia, pasear por las montañas de un pueblo fuera de los mapas turisticos, y escuchar historias de la infancia de la persona que conoci en la calle y me invito a su casa.

Interests

Traveling, sports, parties, people, wildlife, adventures

Music, Movies, and Books

Family Guy, South Park. I like laughing so much. Tarantino's movies, zombies, thrillers
Well, I watch any movie when I'm bored (any movie but romantic). Cinema is not a good plan for me. Maybe with good company I enjoy it
Music: Depends on the moment, some rock, ska, punk, hip hop, Manu Chao, Aterciopelados, Ramones, Nirvana, some AC/DC, Estelares, Las Pelotas, Divididos, Calle 13, Cafe Tacuba... I don't know, many more

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Europe with $30 and survived. Sleeping anywhere, eating sometimes, losing weight, looking for any kind of job. You can learn lots of things in the streets. I was young, I'm not doing it again.
Skydiving
Quit working and start living

Snowboard and boxing. I can teach you just if you are a beginner, I'm not a pro, but i'll do my best.
