About Me

I'm a curious guy who doesn't like to be stable and immobile. Trying my best to use my limited time in search of the world, people, experiences and the hiddens. In the meantime I enjoy life by every means. Why don't we enjoy it together!

Also planning to have a self sufficient life with a commune of friends off the grid as much as possible.

I recently returned back from my South America trip. I'd like to practice Spanish and learn Portuguese hence South Americans (esp. Chileans, Brazilians) are welcome.

Recién volvi de mi vacaciones de Sud America. Quiero pasar tiempo y aceptar si posible Sud Americanos (especialmente Chilenos y Brasileiros) para practicar mi Español y aprender Portuguese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting and knowing new people. CS is just a way of it. I surfed in some countries and hosted some people. Almost all of my experiences were positive. Also, I highly believe that having a local friend is extremely helpful to get to know the culture and the surrounding.

Also climbed to Mount Ararat but couldn't see Noah's Ark.
