About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sin miedo.

ABOUT ME

I like to help people. I like to connect people for them to help each other. I like to watch things pass by patiently. I like to make laugh and to give presents. Love to cook and taste new things. I'm very curious about anything, I really like to go forth on things. I'm very perseverant, currently I'm a senior UX designer working for the mysterious world of Cryptocurrency.

PHILOSOPHY

Have no fear and let it be. Because in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I still have no experience in C.S. But let's see what the future prepare us, because, 99.9% of the people we know, knows something you don't know.

Interests

I like the landscapes, walking, smoking, talking, try new flavors. I like to share and to give. Classical music, movies, theater. Favorite movie: As good as it gets. Favorite disc: Dreamtheater, Metropolis pt. 2 (i'm not really into metal but i really love that disc). I'm listening now to postrock, dreampop (mogwai, because of ghosts, cocteau twins). I love to take a walk into the wild side sometimes (wild, as nature, don't misunderstand me, or do it if you like). I'd love to see the stars on a beach, and also enjoy the local nightlife. Sometimes i'm shy. Some friends says I have a very refined sense of humor. I love the absurd. From Seinfeld to Les Luthiers. I really love the chilean wine, needless to say, the best wine in the world. Now i'm turning my life into something more healthy, I ride my bike anywhere and try to eat more salutary.
