About Me

ABOUT ME

ALL??? no way... here's some...

I was born and grew up in Caracas-Venezuela, both my dad and my mom work for the University and have lived abroad a few times... and me with them, once in the U.S in Washington D.C and once in the U.K in Oxford, in these places I went to school and worked...

almoust 2 years ago I decided to move to Germany to do my studies there and learn a new language, ever since I've been working and studying here, and I've been doing most of my traveling using Berlin as base.

I work as a cook in a restaurant and I really enjoy it, and like to show off cooking, I also like to balance my evenings by not just going to a Party but may be also a quiet one, tablegames, films and dinner at home for example

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let Live

Whatever Works for You

To have to be alone is hard, to be able to be alone is beautiful (allein sein zu mussen ist schwer, allein sein zu können ist schön)

Shit Happens

Rome wasn't build in a day

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm willing to host every person willing to share some experience and expend sometime together, regardless of their Background, wether they're new or very expirienced, ambassadors or not! all I ask from you is to share whatever you have to share, I'll do the same!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing: I've been travelling almoust all my life in this way... me and my parrents wouldnt go abroad unless we had a place to stay, family, friends, etc... did a lot of europe and the US this way!

Hosting: First time I did it was unoficially, a candian bloke that I met over Christmas in a Hostel in Prague asked me if he could stay at mines for new years... and I just couldn't say no.. it was a cool experience and thought something like that should defenitely exist... afterwards I heard from this site so I had to join, the Canadian bloke was already a member!
