ABOUT ME

***OUT OF BRASOV UNTIL EARLY MARCH 2024***

I studied journalism but I refused to work in an office, or at least at the same city for a long period of time so after I finished my studies I chose to sell bikinis in my homeland Venezuela, sounds crazy, isn't? Well, that worked very well for several years and I was my own boss, so I could travel anytime I wanted thanks to the hot money from the bikinis (a very good bizz in a tropical country). But after some years I got bored and I decided to match my big two hobbies: Rock/heavy metal music, and travel, and I created my own travel agency offering trips to the music festivals in Europe from Latin America. That was a hit, took me some years but I got to the point to live from it, and now I am here doing the same joyful job for the last 15 years... Some people say is a dream job, and I cannot say they are wrong!

PHILOSOPHY

Being Positive, work hard for your crazy ideas!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of experience before with Hospitality Club (more than 60) and now a lot with CS. With only one exception, always has been great experiences!!

Interests

Music, travelling and sports. As you read before I am what some people call a "metalhead" but don't worry, I am also very open minded and I can hang out with anybody, and no, I don't eat bats like Ozzy Osbourne ;) About sports as I am from Venezuela my fav sport is baseball, which sometimes is funny to try to explain to foreigners :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Almost all kind of Metal except NuMetal or Deathcore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I do something that I am almost sure nobody does in my whole continent: Organize this kind of trips for people who loves Metal and are from all Latinamerica, trips that are my full time job nowadays. Some countries in the region has people or agencies who do it, but they don't cover the whole continent or go as many festivals or events like my agency... And yes, all this just started like a dream ;)

Change the life of some people. Believe it or not, the experience of most of my passengers change their perspective and willing for the future. Most of them just get addictive to the festivals and travelings in general.

To meet and to be friend of some of the musicians I listen since i was a teenager!
I did interviews or even work with some of the musicians I grow up listening, and now I see them every year while they are touring and some of them are my friends.

Tips about travelling in Europe and Southamerica.

All you want to know about Metal music. Some people think is just noise, but it is such a rich genre, and so wide, that I had had the pleasure to take some people to the dark side after some listening from her virgin ears :D
