Sobre Mim
Until recently, I used to work for a energy trading company based in New York, which meant spending 8 hours staring at a screen every day, and I was beginning to feel burnt out. I realized that this was not the kind of lifestyle I wanted for myself, and so I decided to save up and become a digital nomad, embarking on a life of adventure and creativity.
For instance, I am currently learning 3D animation as a hobby, which will allow me to express my creativity and explore new ideas, and writing some ideas I've wanted to portray in a book.
Ultimately, the idea of discovering what life is about and why we exist always keeps me going. I am grateful for the opportunities that have come my way, and I am excited to see where the universe takes me next.
Por que estou no Couchsurfing?
I get inspiration from all the people I get to know, always learning something from them, even an unnecessary random fact that one day will be unexpectedly useful. For this reason Couchsurfing is perfect for me, because it is a great opportunity for sharing.
We have to make great moments happen, not just wait for them, and Couchsurfing is a good pretext to make them happen.
To be honest, I don't even know why the universe is taking me to your computer screen or maybe your house, but I am sure there is a reason and I am excited to find out. Most of the time it happen to be an amazing exchange in which you learn something from me and I learn something from you.
Interesses
I love to cook, travel, films, concerts, meditate, and read about various subjects such as sociology, philosophy, anthropology, psychology, and economics.
Apart from my main job, I write screenplays, essays, and stories. I have even made some short films that have participated in film festivals. These creative pursuits has always brought me great joy, and after so many years, I am finally eager to transition from my office job to a more creative one to give more of myself to the world.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros
My taste in arts is quite unusual but sophisticated and will be extremely happy to share a similar taste.
I enjoy listening to atmospheric and experimental sounds with a mix of electronic and acoustic elements. I am drawn towards atmospheric post-rock and indie music, with Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Radiohead, Blonde Redhead, Bjork and Arcade Fire being my top picks. Their ethereal yet visually stimulating sounds and melodies resonate with your taste for emotive and immersive music.
In terms of literature, I enjoy are philosophical and mystical themes mostly. I prefer authors who explore existential and psychological questions, as well as the complexities of the human condition. I also appreciate writers with a unique and introspective writing style, who challenge conventional thinking and ideas. Miguel de Unamuno's "Niebla" (Translated as Fog or Mist) has left a lasting impact on me, with its existential themes and commentary on the human condition.
As for movies, I have a penchant for both artistic and challenging cinema. I enjoy movies that delve into complex themes and unique approaches in storytelling. Alfonso Cuarón's "Children of Men" is my favorite. The dystopian thriller's gritty realism and socio-political commentary captivate me. The film's action scenes and thriller narrative interwoven with its deep themes make for an engrossing cinematic experience. I also appreciate Wes Anderson, Pedro Almodovar, Darren Aronofsky, Kryztof Kieslowski, Stanley Kubrick, Jean-Luc Godard.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe
As a Spanish native speaker, teaching and sharing the knowledge of the language with others is something that I deeply enjoy. Seeing people eager to learn Spanish or English is a great motivator for me, and I always strive to make the learning experience as valuable and useful as possible by sharing what I found helpful when learning English.
Cooking is also another one of my passions, and I always love sharing my culinary creations with others. Whether it's trying new recipes or sharing my own, I'm always open to cooking with others and showcasing my skills in the kitchen. Any opportunity to cook and share a meal with others is always welcomed!
In addition to teaching and sharing my skills and passions, I am also eager to learn from others. I have a deep interest in other people's stories and experiences, and I love learning about where they come from and what their lives are like. If you feel comfortable sharing your story with me, know that your words will be highly appreciated and valued.
O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões
As a person, giving back is one of my fundamental values. One of the things I take pleasure in is helping others and providing them with the necessary support to help them achieve their full potential while making them feel good about themselves. Whether it's offering advice, giving them an ear to listen, or even physically helping them out, my door is always open to those in need.
Cooking has always been a passion of mine and I love preparing meals for friends and family. When staying with my hosts, I always make sure to clean up my stuff and leave things as clean as I found them. I believe in respecting people's space and providing them with the necessary courtesy they deserve.
In addition to providing support, I am also a big believer in collaboration. I love sharing ideas and collaborating with others in creative projects. Whether it's writing, making music or developing visual art, I believe that working in tandem with other creative minds helps bring out the best in all of us. At the end of the day, I hope that my skills can help others while also allowing me to learn from them in return.
