Hey there! I am a 30 year old Bolivian guy who decided to leave home in the chill, breathtaking Andes to look for greener pastures. I wound up in colder yet wonderful Denmark, where I studied biochemical engineering. Then I moved back to La Paz where I met my beloved partner, and we moved together to the Dominican Republic - paradise in the Caribbean!

I am very open-minded and passionate about diversity, languages and culture. During my free time I enjoy reading, swimming, biking (that's my inner Copenhagener talking) and of course traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After two years living in Europe, I have gotten to know so many amazing human beings who have greatly enriched me as a person. I strongly believe one of our main goals in life is learning, and traveling is a great catalyst for this (yeah, I'm a spoiled chemistry nerd).
