CURRENT MISSION

To not only see the world, but to experience it

ABOUT ME

I think I am probably similar to many other couchsurfers. I love to travel and when I am not traveling, I am dreaming about traveling. I love music, dance, culture, languages, food and politics from all around the world.

My favorite thing in the world is laughing and I do it all the time.

I speak English and Spanish fluently, I understand and speak a little Portuguese and French.

PHILOSOPHY

Adventure, knowledge and wisdom are so deeply intertwined that they cannot be separated from one another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people when I travel. I do not want to be an Instagram traveler who goes places to take selfies, nor do I want to be a free loading traveler who takes advantage of local hospitality. I want to Couchsurf to experience places in a deeper way and I like to host to share knowledge and stories with people from around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled for three years.

Teach, Learn, Share

What got me through my first backpacking experience was discovering the following: Its going to be ok. Once while lost, alone, penniless and in a dangerous part of Rome in the middle of the night I came to the conclusion that soon the sun would rise and I would be okay.
The most important part of traveling is assuring that first- you don't get into situations like that, and second- that if everything starts going wrong to stay calm, the morning will come.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A ton of travel advice. Great conversations about international events and politics.
