Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To travel around South America, discovering all the differences and similarites of all the different customs. I hope to do it as cheaply as possible, thus hitchhicking and sleeping on couches and floors.
ABOUT ME
well.. first, im a painter, and have been selling paintings in the streets for a few years now, without having to rely on a other job. i have been living here in Buenos Aires for about two years. i really enjoy the latin lifestyle and the artistic cultural that exist. i studied math, but have drawn my whole life as well.. im super layed back, and really easy to get along with..
i try to avoid labels, but, in general i suppose im sort of a socialist, or, non-capitolist. i much rather trade or share things, ..... um.. there is more, but.. you´ll have to wait and see..
PHILOSOPHY
wow, this thing is a bit deep...
i think it is important to try to always do what you want to do.. simple. and dont be afraid of a little work and failure as well.. im also ok with sadness. and think perhaps it is more important than happiness. but, generally, im a happy guy.. i believe in love and peace. to educate the young.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
i have never surfed of the couches of strangers, but have spent a great many nights on the couches or floors, or roofs of friends and acquantances. i love the idea of seeing other peoples houses, and how they live, and staying with them, cooking food in thier kitchen.. things like that. i often leave gifts, such as drawings as tokens of my appreciation

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
i would say my situation now is rather amazing.. i moved here, to buenos aires, to LIVE indefinatly for LOVE of my girlfriend, who is from Chile, living here.. Without much money, and the job of a street vendor, living with someone, can be a rather amazing experience..
Teach, Learn, Share
well, i taught mathematics before, so, academically i can teach that.. but, its more about teaching by examples, and the exchange of positive energy. i am choosing to live a lifestyle, different from the mainstream, and it mainly consists of doing what i want, and trying to share and create beautiful things. i also make good pasta sauce.
