PHILOSOPHY

Friendships are the best part of human life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Who doesn't want to make new friends from other corners of the globe?

I want to offer warm hospitality to travelers who visit my country... Friendships are the best part of life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Soon after I joined CS, I found a place to stay in Frankfurt --just when I needed to be there to catch an early flight the next morning. I got a nice room with a balcony and a view of the river! A year later, my host had to visit my city on a business trip --and I was able to return the favor...He didn´t need a couch, but a tour guide. I was glad to show him around the city.

Interests

Reading, writing, traveling around the world, surfing the web, teaching Spanish to travelers, meeting new international friends, hugging, sharing coffee and conversation, promoting world peace and understanding across cultural barriers, ecumenism, fellowship, true friendships, loving others.
I have published three books of phrases, an attempt to make fun of urban life and politics: "Apuntes" (2008),
"Notas de la Ciudad" (2013) y "Aforismos y otros apuntes" (2019). An English-language collection of my
writings has been published in 2020.
Un 2022, I have published my first book of chronicles, "Desde mi tribuna."
