About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Conquer the world one beer at a time

ABOUT ME

First thing you need to know about me is that I'm not from around here. My planet was destroyed long time ago and before that happened my parents placed me in capsule and sent me here where I was raised by shenanigans.. my kriptonite is monotony.

I'm open minded, like to see things from different perspectives and always up to enjoy a new adventure regardless if it's traveling 2 miles away or 1000.
I'm very active and simply get bored if I'm not moving or doing something, but still like a lot just sitting down and enjoying the company of another person. Maybe a bit shy sometimes but I like to face my fears. I like to make people laugh and laugh a lot myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Live. Learn. Experience. Enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was at Princess Louise Pub in London and what a great experience that was. I was suppose to meet with one group and by chance I met a different one, and later both groups integrated. There were people from all around the place, very welcoming and down to earth.
CS is more than staying at peoples couches, is about getting out of your circle and meeting some extraordinary people you wouldn't be able to meet otherwise. There are some great stories out there, this is an awesome way to hear them out.

Interests

Snorkel every time the weather allows it, believe it or not just because there is a nice weather outside it doesn't mean that the waters are calmed.
Mountain bike is what I love but haven't been able to do that for some time now.
I recently discovered a pasion for photography..
and of course traveling whenever I can wherever the opportunity takes me.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to favorite movies Back to the future (all 3) is undeniably THE best movie/ trilogy ever and anyone that disagrees knows nothing... Nueve Reinas y El Secreto de sus Ojos beyond awesome, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was great but the original, the other two that followed I got kinda bored. Am I a movie junky?.. don't think so and I cannot for the life of me remember the actor's names and who won what prize, I'm not one of those.

I'm all around the place when it comes to music so Pandora and Grooveshark have become my best friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spontaneity has to be the best ingredient for great moments.. I remember a wile ago I was at a BBQ and there were some friend visiting from Peru, after a few drinks the talk began where we said "we need to go visit you to your country" and they were like "hell to the yeah!" (please note this is actually proven by scientist and experts to be one of the many stages of conversations of drunks right before the politics discussion and the "I love you man!" which is considered to be the highest level of drunkness).
Story short we got so cut up in the moment that right there and then we bought the airplane tickets and a week later we had one of THE coolest weekends oversees. (details of this trip are hidden in a impenetrable secure folder in facebook's servers).

But still by far the most amazing thing that I have done is quit smoking.. I get some of you may think boooooring but for the true nicotine addicts out there they'll get it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Truth is I know little about a lot and a lot about very little, but I can talk like I know about the subject so I get to charge a lot.

Did you know that the origin of the O.K. comes from the war. When soldiers battled in a town without casualties they would write on the walls the number zero and the letter K to signify that there were Zero Killed during that battle thus everything was O.K... I have absolutely NO idea if this is true but I like the story, it makes sense so I'm sticking with it.
