About Me

Haven't hosted for a while but me and my girlfriend have a few flexible days early this year to host and hopefully meet some friendly csurfers.

ABOUT ME

im more the relaxed, kinda-timid, chilled guy that prefers to take fotos then be in them, is better at listening to stories than telling them, doesnt mind having less friends on facebook than the next guy and prefers to sit on the side lines and watch the world go by with the company of a quality few, god i hope i didnt undersell.
but u would probably see through me and tell i was lying if i said i was an excitingly loud and energetic positive personality, the life of the party that loves everyone anything and everything about life.
well life is kinda interesting and things can get preeeetty sweeet.
and i must admit, i do get a lil excited with life on the road and tend to take on a happier, friendlier me. So fingers crossed lets hope i can make a decent impression on the day.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't travel to find myself, but to help define myself..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

thought it could be interesting to meet up, have a chat a coffee, a drink a laugh, id just like to get the most out of whatever city, town, suburb, side street, back alley i end up in, or try to avoid ending up in.

Interests

i like the ocean, surfing, fishing, good coffee, salsa, me gusta colombiana, climbing, diving, musica en vivo.
guess it depends where i am, i think i could live a million different lives in this lifetime.
