About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To perfect French and make lots of friends all over Europe from all over the world! I want to see Italy, Spain, the UK, Ukraine, Croatia, Algeria, Morocco, I wanna see it all!

ABOUT ME

Man. I love people, planes, trains, music, food, concerts, good conversation, I love Jesus, I love traveling, I like meeting new friends, I like cultural exchange.

J'aime voyager, aller aux concerts, manger, parler avec tout le monde, faire des nouveaux amis, l'échange culturelle, la musique, le foot. J'aime Jésus Christ

Me encanta viajar, comer, tocar musica, escucharla, conocer a gente nueva, tener buenas conversaciones, conocer nuevas culturas. Amo a JesuCristo.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn from Jesus. The Lord your God is one. Love the Lord your God with your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself. Don't withhold doing good to your neighbor when it's in your power to do so. Don't tell him to come back tomorrow when you can help him NOW.

Be a good Samaritan. They are needed.

El Señor tu Dios, el Señor uno es. Ama al Señor con todo tu corazon, tu alma, tu mente y tu abilidad.

Le Seigneur notre Dieu, est l'unique seigneur. Aime le Seigneur avec tout ton coeur, ton âme, ta pensée et toute ta force.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel and make friends. For example, I made a friend in Paris when he let me couchsurf. The next year, I brought him Salsa Valentina (from Mexico).

I'm in Morocco right now. If I can host you, I will!

Je voyage et je fais des amitiés. J'ai un ami a Paris qui j'ai connue via CS. L'année suivante, je lui ai porté du sauce picante du Méxique.

Je suis au Maroc au present. Si je peut t'heberger, je le ferai!

Viajo y hago amistades. Si me toca visitar tu ciudad dos veces, seguro que te traigo algo! Le lleve salsa Valentina de México a un amigo en Paris que conoci via CS.

Estoy en Marruecos como maestro de inglés. Si te puedo hospedar, lo haré!

---Ciao

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam in a Cenote in the Yucatan peninsula. Surfed in Puerto Escondido, MX. Started following Jesus. Rang a bell on the top of a government building with my friend Brazos in Monterrey, Mexico. Went rock-climbing in Oaxaca, when crazy camping in Oaxaca and got lost and then still made it home. Played at the Brauntex. Visited France, took the metro EVERYWHERE, almost lost my macbook, made new friends.

Du surf, du camping, j'ai joué quelques concerts.

Teach, Learn, Share

Faith, Reason, Science, and God can co-exist. Prudence, is a virtue. Knowing when to talk and when to shut your mouth. How to forgive. How to play guitar. How to speak Spanish. Why you should know more than one language.

La science, la logique et Jésus son comptatibles. Et je sais jouer la guitarre, et on peut faire de la cuisine méxicaine.
