COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have enjoyed CS so far!!!I had a good time and nice experience in Italy last year and now looking forward to meet nice people and enjoy Sweden, Finland and Poland!
Also, I have host several people and enjoy the cultural exchange too much!

Interests

I love nature and very committed with the environment and ecology. Enjoy simple things in life such as a nice conversation, hiking, camping, outdoors activities. Currently I spend most of my free time reading and researching because of my studies, however, I play football, do yoga, go to the gym and movies when I have a chance. I want to learn about meditation.I enjoy meeting new people, especially from another cultures/backgrounds.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fight Club, Adjustment Bureau, 12 Monkeys, these are some examples of my favorites, I enjoy comedy, suspense (good suspense not bloody movies), historical and some fiction ones.
Music- Latin and Caribbean rhythms like salsa, Merengue, Reggae, also electronic and some rock
Books- unfortunately I have been away from leisure reading in the last years due to my academic research, however, I remember titles like The Perfume, 100 years of solitude, Love in the time of Cholera, The Tunnel among others, also I enjoy modern history a lot in which Hobsbawn is a master....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

many! i.e. flying a small plane for 15 minutes by myself over New Mexico's desert. I worked as an intern at The Bandelier National Park at USA restoring the ancient cavates where the Pueblo culture used to live in.
I just did a trip I was delaying for 12 years to the Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) in Colombia!! highly recommended!! being in the jungle for 5 days without any material-technological- things that sourround us in our everyday life and take us away fro the real important things in our existences was amazing!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a part-time professor, I enjoy teaching and been taught...CS give that opportunitty. If you are learning Spanish or want to practice, i am willing to do it with you.
