About Me

I moved to this beautiful Santa Barbara 15 year ago and fell automatically in love with this place, here you can enjoy really nice weather throughout the year and meet the coolest characters, I also enjoy Surf every chance I get, Mountain biking at least once a week, hiking and of course accordingly with my heritage , big BBQ and Soccer fun both to play and watch.
I share this beautiful cottage with Gaucho my yellow mix unconditional friend.
I also travel a lot lately all over Mexico, Central and South America as well as Europe, hopefully Indonesia soon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to host people from different cultures, enrich my knowledge of the world through the eyes of different people.
Also when I travel I get to know the real place instead of a prearrange, tourist friendly city tour.
Personal experiences are a as important as sight seeing

Interests

  • surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

This is always a tricky question for me, like your favorite food..
But I must say Alexander Dumas made a mark on me with the Count of Montecristo, favorite writer of all times Gabriel Garcia Marques, and I enjoy Rumi a whole lot.
A movie, same.....
Run Lola Run my fave foreigner movie
Music I hear all, it depends on my mood, lately I'm crazy about Miles Davis
