About Me

CURRENT MISSION I´m here to enjoy life and to be useful ABOUT ME I like to learn new things, meet new places and new people. Im a biologist working in biodiversity conservation and very interested in community-based conservation and environmental education. I like to watch films, walk in the bush, swim, drink coffee, get beers and fries, hear and tell stories, lay down on the grass...and I really enjoy this weird gift that I have: atract odd and very strange episodes to my life! PHILOSOPHY Have fun wherever and whenever, enjoy life 200%, respect nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A friend of mine started using this to travel all around the world. Now I am doing it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

GREAT so far

Interests

I love to drink coffee, trekking, mountains, monkeys, forest, rain, rivers, hammocks, good conversations, beer, food, alternative lifestyles. I want to travel the World learning from others, living as others live, doing what others do and eatting what others eat. I like to collect strange musical instruments and mix their sounds to make music. I want to know what happiness means to people from different places and to live it with them. I aim to understand what is it that motivates communities to join for a non-profitable reason and to fight for that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got lost in an island without electricity nor reception in the middle of the Titicaca Lake. Hiked to the middle of the cloud forest with all my clothes wet for 7 rainy days, watching beautiful landscapes and looking for monkeys. Stayed in a squat in London and joined them for protests, short road trip with environmental activists in Sidney, hitchhiked in New Zealand, live in a tent in the middle of the rainforest inside Manu National park for about 2 years, and Many other things that are very nice to remember...now I´m smiling!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think i could teach anyone how to have fun with little money, i also could share some stories, help you practice your Spanish and maybe some dancing! I would like to learn about other people's life and what is their passion. I want to try all kinds of food and dance all kinds of music.

And can cook some Peruvian food for you, tell you travel stories and entertain you with fun facts about the rainforest.
