About Me

I´m from Quito-Ecuador, I live lightweight, minimalist and like to care about animals, gardening, composting, and coexisting with nature, still finding a way as a future PhD student and backpack traveler.

Currently I only host people that practice highline, or slackline, I am a certified instructor and would love share, please be sure to mention it on your first message.

Besides that, I enjoy drawing, climbing, reading and having conversations with coffee, I'm definitively up for walking, coffees, conversations, yoga, meditation, hiking, climbing, doing slackline or just chilling listening music, getting to know people and making friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People here had teach me so much about giving and be in service of other people... We all like to travel it is nice to be hosted and to have hosted, feeling that we can help each other by just helping for a while in our paths and travels.

Warning:
Everyone has good and bad times, a past and a future, and differences , I like hanging around, build friendships on honesty, but must say I reject and WILL LEAVE if any racist, homophobic, aggressive behavior, unconsented sexual approach or drug abuse takes place. Please keep it friendly and respectful
I won't host anyone suspicious of having committed war-crimes, as such people from Israel that made mandatory "service" in the IDF please abstain .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lazy about this one, I gonna take one out of my pocket of incredible things I´ve done:
Traveling from Colombian rainforest to Argentina by crossing all the Brazilian jungle with the power of the thumb and feet , and other extreme experiences that are better told in person

Teach, Learn, Share

It would be very pleasant to hear from your stories, the language from the place you are from, get to know the traditions, places, manners, food, drinks... eventually I want to upload a podcast so people can hear these voices

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am bringing my slackline, lets do some slack!!!
I am an advocate of open software I know how to repair computers and fight planned obsolescence with Linux, I can teach and give talks about astrophysics, and electronic systems, I can make good drawings, fix things specially bicycles, and belay climbing.
