About Me

Very thoughtful person who likes to see everything from different perspectives. Humble, honest, cautious, attentive, helpful, respectful, tolerant, introvert,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason is because I'm going to Paris, France but I have no friends there. Basically I don't know any one over there and am not fluent in French either. I wanna meet people for language exchange, going around, and maybe if possible hosting the first days.

Music, Movies, and Books

Specifically speaking, I like reggae, pop, dance music, hip hop, bachata, vallenato, rock en español, and a bit more.

Series of Fast and Furious, Men in Black, Lord of rings, Series of Planet of the Apes, Pirates of the Caribbean

Love the BBC documentaries about nature and also trivial things. Those are awesome. I admire British people for such creations.

Chef versus Science, that is what amazes me, I enjoyed the whole program.

Two and a half men, the big bang theory, girl, much comedy in general
The last kingdom, Game of Thrones. THE APPRENTICE, Shark tank

I don't quite read books apart from those of engineering mainly not because I don't care but because I am having a busy life at uni and hate not to be able to finish what I've started.

But that's gonna end soon. And this field is going to have a revolution in literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survive to an accident at 15 y/o, been hit on the head, living by clinical machines for almost a week and then awake. Even with medical expectancies about cognitive damage graduated from school and from University. Although that doesn't fit in a trendy amazing thing to do it's a challenging one. Learning from everything I see others doing or me doing. Never surrender till failed in many ways. And even failing you learn from it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a teaching person. I like to share knowledge, not the conventional school knowledge (even though I have studies on physics, maths, economics, medicine, machines, electronics, materials) but like how to do many common daily things the best way possible. I practice recycling, trying always to spend the less energy needed at every process being always efficient and effective. I'm sorry if this sounds too much technical but it can be done even at home. That's the way we can save the planet for future generations. I'm always learning too. I enjoy being taught and seeing new ways of doing things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll bring some souvenirs to share, I have good info about trips in Latin-America, I've got good and not quite good experience traveling around. I can help with domestic issues. To be honest I'm quite helpful and resourceful.
