Overview
About Me
I'm a calm and friendly guy, enjoy having conversations, specially about culture, history, people... I love learning about everything. I believe anybody has something to teach. Also like to help and I'm always grateful.
I'm a bit introverted and shy, sometimes it's difficult to me to express myself freely, however once I get confidence, you will discover I could be a very good, smart, funny and loyal friend. Friendship is quite important and I don't like wasting my time and care with people that just want a brief meeting. I prefer quality over quantity.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I would like to meet new people,new places and different cultures. And because in spite people can be awful and take advantage from people's love, I still believing there's good, kindness, honesty and love. And a place like this, it's a proof of this.
Interests
I don't believe in prejudices, I think respect, tolerance and emphaty are the key for a good society. It doesn't matter if you have a particular preference, I will be glad meeting you as long as the respect is there. In spite I'm heterosexual, you will have my entire respect and empathy and, eventually, a very good friend on me, because I hate playing with people's feelings. I will never take advantage from you or anybody.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Mmm, offering my heart so that people's well-being, in spite so many times I get betrayed or forgotten at the end... Trust me, that's something very hard to do!!! That's why so many people is selfish, not because they are mean, but for self protection! Hahaha However, sometimes you find someone that gives her or his heart in return, and that's wonderful :)
However, if you mean something material with that question, walking whole days with no rest, so that to admire wonderful places!
