I may be the most curious person out there. If I could give an advice is to always remain curious about you and your surroundings because you will always be learning. I was born in Panama and have lived in many countries around the world. I am currently doing my Master's degree in China but next semester I will move to Italy to do my second year. I am also a personal trainer and used to play soccer professionally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been traveling ever since I turned 16 on my own, going from super cold places, to tropical paradises, to Pyongyang. I met several Couchsurfers along my journeys and became interested in this project. I support this program because one travels to know, meet and explore, and I believe that money should not prevent people from doing so.

Interests

My goal is to learn 8 languages so that I can communicate fluently with others and meet lots more people! Learning a foreign language has a deep influence in the way you think, act and behave, so I feel I have different personalities as I speak a different language :D
I also want to keep traveling to expand my views, knowledge and immersion to foreign cultures, languages and customs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading in my beloved Kindle (my best friend while traveling). I have been trying to keep up by reading a book every two days, but doing Master's degree can interfere with my readings. All of the books I read are about politics, economics, foreign affairs, China or military stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made the Panama sub-23 national soccer team! But I am also proud of all my accomplishments thus far, given the fact that I left my home when I was still very young.
I also learned a good amount of Chinese in my first two months learning it by pulling lots of all nighters (random).

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to listen first, hear other's stories and life. What I am fascinated by is to hear about other's struggles and see how this did not stop them from attaining success, or at least from their personal goals. Life is not dictated by how many times we fail, but by the times we lift ourselves up and prove that we can overcome it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love talking and holding deep conversations about anything, but I also go out and explore. I am very open and caring! I have many goals in life but it makes me happier to see others accomplishing their goals.
