About Me

I'm a 22 yo student of Journalism about to finish his career. I love travelling, and I hope that some day I may be able to make a living out of it. I feel an incredible need to explore the world and share my experiences with others, that's why I spent years studying different techniques (photography, videography, etc.) so that some day I'll be able to create interesting products that will synthesize my what I'm learning in my trips.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my field I've learn that, as a journalist, I have a huge responsibility towards any possible "audience". Because of this I feel that I can't show them the places I've been as just a "tourist". I need to actually get to know the culture and the people that live there. Couchsurfing sounds like a platform that would actually allow me to meet people who know the places better than anyone else, and can share their everyday life with me so that I can have a better understanding of the countries and cities I'm visiting.

-Some of my favorite music artists: The Rolling Stones, Kevin Johansen, Memphis La Blusera & The Beatles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the last year living abroad in the US, as a Teaching Assistant in Muskingum University. This meant that I taught Spanish classes & share my culture with american students, but also, that I was allow to take courses as a student. I lived in a dorm with several international students from all over the world and I was able to build friendships with guys from Japan to Germany.

Muskingum is a small private university in a rural area of Ohio. It was a great opportunity to learn a lot from the American culture and traditions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't consider myself an expert in anything. That being said, I do love sharing that few knowledge & skills that I have with others.

- As Photographer: If you are interesting in photography I would love to share what I've learned, show you my work, tell you about all those little tips that helped me to get started with this & suggest some authors that have helped me in the past. Also, if you happen to need some pictures (maybe a "head shot" for your Resume, or for an event such as a birthday or wedding) I would love to do that for you!!

- About Social Media: I have some experience as a Community Manager, so if you're an entrepreneur and want to promote your business through the internet, I would like to help you build a strategy!!

- As a Journalist: In my field I'm always reading & trying to learn about different social issues, so if you like to share ideas and opinions, that would be great!!

- As a Spanish teacher & South american: If you are learning Spanish and want to practice, it would be my pleasure to do so!! I would also like to share what I know about the different accents & dialects that people have in the region as well as the differences between the many cultures that exist in all those countries.
