About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be cool, man

ABOUT ME

Most importantly, I want to chill out and keep things simple, that is: to appreciate the taste of food, a good nap, the sun, the beach, a sick hip hop beat, the company of some cool people. I'm as ambitious as the next guy (well, the next guy who wins an Academy Award anyway), but I think having a good time is most important.

PHILOSOPHY

Loving and caring for people is more important than getting ahead of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed through the United States (and Montreal) in the fall of 2012. It was dope! We hosted a couchsurfing event in Austin. I´ve been couchsurfing in Spain and having a doooooope time.
