Hey there, I’m Cesar! I’m a curious soul with a passion for learning, exploring, and connecting with people from all walks of life. You’ll quickly find that I love deep conversations, especially when they dive into history, science, or philosophy (bonus points if you’re into neuroscience or ancient cultures!).

I’m a respiratory therapist by profession, and my career has taught me that every breath is precious—quite literally! Outside of work, I’m an avid learner and a bit of a tech nerd/ AI enthusiast (shout out to my first computer, the legendary Commodore 64). I also enjoy writing, especially on topics like the intersection of neuroscience and trauma with Buddhist philosophy.

Travel-wise, I’ve been fortunate enough to see some beautiful places and am always looking for more. Whether it’s small, charming towns or vibrant cities, I try to experience everything a place has to offer—food, culture, and the occasional random adventure.

I’m pretty laid-back and approachable, but I also value meaningful interactions . You can expect good company, mutual respect, and the occasional witty comment if we cross paths!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and seeing the world through their eyes. For me, travel is as much about the connections as it is about the destination. Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to build those connections in a way that’s more personal than traditional travel. It’s a great way to learn about different perspectives, share stories, and maybe even make a lifelong friend.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an open book. I love to share what I know and teach what I have learned. If you have made it this far down my profile I'm sure you have an idea of what I can teach, what I would love to learn, and that I have a good ability to share :)

Language! I love learning different languages. Even if it's just a little bit. Different art forms, different instruments, different foods. I want to try to learn as much as I can for as long as i am able to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can clean, cook, and fix things. I play music make good coffee and have an open conversation. I have an emotional support dog that is human-like and he himself is a gift. He is sweet and gentle, kind, and loving. Gets along with all animals and humans. I am familiar with most tools and can learn very quickly. I do not mind working outdoors.
