About Me

I want to cover South America, one day at a time.
I consider myself a thoughtful, respectful and kind guy. I'm easy going, not really into partying until I get wasted but I like to go out and enjoy some beers and a good conversation.
I believe in myself and the star stuff that made me.
Carl Sagan knew what he was talking about.

Me considero una persona reflexiva, respetuosa y gentil. Suelo ser muy flexible, y aunque no sea fanático de la rumba dura puedo disfrutar de una buena conversación tomando unas cervezas.
Creo en mí mismo y en el polvo de estrellas del cual estamos hechos.
Carl Sagan sabía muy bien de lo que hablaba.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If you're backpacking that means you're not a common person; hence, I would like to meet you. If I'm backpacking and you choose to host me, the same.

Si estás mochileando eso ya significa de por sí que no eres una persona común y corriente, por ende, me gustaría conocerte. Y si yo estoy mochileando y tú me recibes, pues lo mismo.

Interests

I enjoy history, literature and arts.
But most of all, people.
Portraying different cultures is something that keeps me going.

Disfruto de la historia, el arte y la literatura.
Pero más que todo, disfruto de la gente en general.
Retratar distintas culturas me mantiene andando.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to climb the Roraima Tepuy (Roraima Plateau) in Venezuela.
It was unbelievable, once you get up there everything looks like a real "Jurassic Park", you almost feel like you're not in this earth anymore.
Excellent trip with some great friends.

Subir a la cima del tepui Roraima en Venezuela.
Fue una experiencia increíble, una vez que subes todo parece retroceder en el tiempo hasta llegar al jurásico, incluso creerías estar en otro planeta.
Un viaje excelente con unos muy buenos amigos.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would gladly teach almost everything about photography.
I've been a photographer for a long time (I even used to work in a lab so I come from the old school).
I'm always interested in learning anything related to history, culture, arts and handcrafts, woodwork.

Puedo enseñar todo lo que sé de fotografía, que no es poco.
He sido fotógrafo desde hace muchos años (incluso llegué a trabajar en un laboratorio así que soy de la vieja escuela más o menos)
Estoy interesado siempre en aprender todo lo relacionado a la historia, la cultura, las artes, la producción artesanal, el trabajo de la madera.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you if you buy some groceries and do the dishes, but I don't want to sound like your mom so we can just go with the flow and see what happens.
I do some work in the fields, with farmers and indigenous people.
I see places and people that tourist don't usually see.. so I can take you there -if possible- and you'll be able to reach some hidden spots, so to say.
