Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For 3 years i worked for a non-profit organization named Un techo para mi País, they work with volunteers to construct houses in communities in extreme poverty in Latin America. I learn a lot there, but I realized that I want to take my time on earth doing something worthwhile. I want to spend my time travelling, knowing people, is not easy but it´s possible.

All the best trips that i have are when i have friends to visited in his country, and also right now i´m student i don´t have a lot budget :(

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all the different rhythm, i have a lot of Spotify playlist for different moments. But my favorite band of all time is Soda Stereo. About books i like to read existentialism philosophy, authors as Hesse or Nietzche i like a lot.

I like also the fantasy books like Lord of the Rings. I like Jose Saramago too. But all the majority of the books a read are in Spanish authors like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Julio Cortazar are one of my favorites.

Movies all kind, not much the chick flicks, are very predicted.
