About Me

MISION
Change the world (less poverty and illiteracy), I have an education company trying to grow.

ABOUT ME
I appreciate what I have, I love my life. I'm an opened mind guy who enjoys meeting people, traveling, trying different food and paths every day.

QUOTES I LIKE
- Distraction is an obstruction to the construction
- Life is a mistery. Don't waste your time trying to figure it out
- Keep a sense of humour, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Many of my friends have used it. I subscribed long time ago and attended some local events in Bogotá and Orlando (USA). I've had bad experiences with Airbnb, so I think it is my time to return to my origins and try the new CouchSurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- A trip from Tegucigalpa to San Salvador by bus was crazy, specially because I got the border after 6:00 pm and there are no buses to anywhere after that hour, so you have to "sleep" anywhere till the morning.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I've been math, physic, english, spanish and squash teacher, so... I love teaching and I guess it would help me to built a better world.
Learn: I enjoy learning about everything and from everybody, I like history, geography, languages, economics, etc.
Share: I'll try my best to share some of my experience and knowledge useful for you, specially if you're interested in entrepreneurship, geography or South Korea.
