About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My first mission is to travel as much as I can before I turn 40 and laugh as loud as I can until I die.

ABOUT ME

Cinema buff, freelance journalist, newborn tech geek and wannabe film producer. I know one day I'll live in L.A. and share a cup of tea with Martin Scorsese. On the other hand, jazz is my favorite language and words also, but just whenever you stop thinking while typing. Poetry. Yes. Salsa... a trauma for me because I´m latin but I don't dance like Chayanne. I accept people from all backgrounds, colours, faces and beliefs as long as they respect my own freedom and ideas. I love the beach and the snow. No middleground.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Yeah, quite a cliché but it's certainly true. I believe that political borders are a fantasy that make people hate and differentiate each other. We can get along as far as its reciprocal. I promise to love you and you promise to love me. That's it, no subtext or hidden intentions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to prove that sharing, reciprocity and trust are the building blocks of human culture. Couchsurfing and Wikipedia are two great examples of this innate generosity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, but willing to learn and have loads of fun while doing it!

Interests

Travelling, film, HBO series, music, business models related to new technologies, reading non-fiction books, eating pizza on Sundays.

Music, Movies, and Books

wowww... too many to discard some or mention a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowboarding in a forest of frozen trees in Colorado (US) and rafting in Iguazu Falls (Argentina/Brazil). Supporting my mother and brothers through very hard times and succeded. Yep.

Teach, Learn, Share

My knowledge relies in the mastery of DIY (Do-it-yourself) but applied to every single aspect of your life. Sacrifice whenever you have to in order to achieve your dreams or an approximation to them. The Hero's journey is my favourite tale. I can talk for hours about films, TV, music, politics and the Internet. I did a masters' on Creative and Media Management in the UK, so I think if you are an artist, producer or distributor and want to learn how to monetize your creative products I can help you a lot. No charge of course. Yeah, I know how to write a very fluent and stylished Spanish because I worked for three years in a newspaper in Peru. I want to learn to disorganize myself once in a while. That will be valuable. Also, I love learning from others in every single aspect as long as it's not applied mathematics. :S
