About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eurotrip with my girlfriend, Cami. Climbing Mont Blanc in June 💪🏼

ABOUT ME

*Bachelor’s in Philosophy
* Mastering in Social Psychology
* International Trade
* Athlete

The description that follows was written in 2012, upon re-visiting it I find it amusing, so it is staying where it is ;)

One could say I am an out going, risk-taking, thrill-seeking lad; who considers the world, and his very mind to be his own private lab in which one gets to try, and fail, and learn, and see how things go as one goes for as long as we extend no hate, nor hurt. Guess I ve seen a few things already and Im always willing and eagered to see more and/or exchange with whom ever it might be, the bits of knowledge I consider compund our being. I seem to have the need to try and turn each moment, each crossing, each glance, into the most epic version of itself we can obtain, I cant stand the idea of growing old while drowning in a so called "normal life".

PHILOSOPHY

LIVE!
IMPROVISE!

AND...

"Enjoy the small things" -Zombieland (strange movie to find a quote in).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I dont currently own a place, so meetups when home mainly. I try to surf as much as I can when I travel and always recommend CS to friends and new travellers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive crushed at some people's places in Europe and Brazil, and met many Couchsurfers in Montevideo and Buenos Aires, showed them around and shared good times.

Interests

My interests are many, and i think thats the best part about me, i love to do a bit of everything; on the one hand i love to read, and on the other hand i practice extreme sports, so yeah.. Im looking forward to meet all sorts of people, for I think everybody can teach you something different.

Music, Movies, and Books

Kubrick, Herzog, Wachowski, Woody Allen, Tarantino, Nolan, Lynch, Cohen bros.
Electronic Music for dancing alone, Bachata if I've got with whom. Rock n Roll to lift me up and Classical music to fill like a lord.
As for books; lots of philosophy, other than that I really enjoy the Russian Novels, the Romantics in general, and the latin american authors of the 20th century. And Game of Thrones, how could I forget Game of Thrones!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked 6000 km to ecuador, sleeping in a tent wherever I could, that's a fun story.

Turned an abandoned garage into the first Parkour gym in Uruguay.

Climbed a volcano in Gutemala just to watch another volcano (in front of the one I climbed) erupt all night, lava flying hundreds of meters in the air.

Cycled down a mountain in Ecuador.

Climbed Mount Toubkal in Morroco.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ill teach what you are willing to learn, and learn what you are willing to teach.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well It will depend on the host, I believe different people bring out different aspects of one self, and that is the beauty of it! In general terms I'd say that we wouldnt be lacking in conversation!
