About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover the real face of the world and its people, one step at a time; from Behring to Antartica and from Easter Island to Madagascar. My objective is to reach the 80% of the world by the end of 2015.

ABOUT ME

Dreamer. Visionaire. Marketer. Entrepreneur. After a young adulthood pursuing the definition of myself, I'm now ready to focus all of my strenght and knowledge to design something useful for the people. To live and travel throughout South and Central America made me realize that the only way to find happiness is by creating a better world. We all have the right and the mission to improve others life in order to improve ours.

PHILOSOPHY

I have three mottos stolen from a couple of wise guys:

1) "This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time".
- Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club.

2) "Aim for the moon. If you fail, at least you're going to be between the stars".
- W. Clement Stone.

3) "Impossible is Nothing".
- Adidas Ad Agency.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want a continous exchange of experiences with everyone who is able to cross my path, or with everyone who happens to find me along their way. The only way to enrich your life is by sharing experiences one to another, no matter where you're from. You'll always be welcome as long as I have a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to host mostly couchsurfers in Lima while I was living down there with my gf between 2009 and 2010. I haven't couchsurfed yet.
But, be ready. Soon I will!

Interests

Everything related to the experience of life: people, places, stories, etc. Activities: Surfing (bodyboarding actually), swimming, trekking, used to love freestyle bmx till I got an accident, photography, backpacking.
