I am an Ecuadorian from the Amazonia. I have grown up amongst trees, animals, and El Puyo, my hometown. When I was a child I had the opportunity to meet the world of reading. Due to reading, I have been able to create my own pathway. I am my decision and not the result of an external fate.
Nowadays, I won scholarship which allows me to study in one of the best universities around the world and I am studying in the Universiteit van Amsterdam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a nice face of the world. I like the idea to have a true experience with people from the place I am visiting. When I discovered Couchsurfing, I said Pourquoi pas?

Interests

My interests are:
1. Know the emblematic places of each city.
2. Lose myself in the city
3. Discover as much as possible new cultures
4. People behavior: as individual, and as a community
I have a strong interest in people who knows how to fly(literally). On the other hand, I like to travel with a purpose. Like Seneca said: “When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.” It is imperative, for me, to comprehend it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For now, one of my biggest adventures is when I traveled my country by bike and I did the Camino. As a student, I won a scholarship with which I am studying in UvA. As a baritone, I could imitate an opera singer (Gino Quilico). And as a reader, I read the whole Bible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some french or little english, but a lot spanish. Moreover, I could share with all my experiences with Couchsurfing and travelling.
You are my "prabu"(teacher-student) and i can learn from you and you can learn from me.
