About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To learn how to build a green house with whatever natural or recyclable materials are on hand. I'm travelling around the world working on bioconstrucion protects.

ABOUT ME
I'm a fun guy with an open mind and an easy-going style. I get along easily with people. I love to chill with the guitar and a couple of beers and talk about whatever crazy things have been happening lately.

PHILOSOPHY
We've got one life, so we've gotta take the bull by the horns and make it great. Enjoy what you're doing and spread good energy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Pretty much no experience, but I hosted a couchsurfer years ago who ended up staying on in my house for a couple of years haha (I promise I won´t stay in your house for a couple of years).

Interests

Same kinda stuff as everyone: music (always wanting to learn new songs), nature, philosophy, and generally talking shit. My passion is sustainability and green building.

  • beer
  • tv

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Zorba the Greek. It's about living life with passion and in the present.

Other books I love are: Great Expectations, Journey by Moonlight, Sidhartta, To Kill a Mockingbird, Huckleberry Fin and, of course... Where´s Wally.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For several months I was a celebrity on Chinese TV performing comedy routines and other bizarre (and kinda embarrassing) stuff.

I've spent the last year in South America building houses from mud, straw and other natural materials.

Swimming with a huge pod of dolphins (must have been a couple of hundred) in the Solomon Islands also rocked my world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has a heap of stuff to share. You find riches in differences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company and beers! Knowledge, points of view, stories. I'm a good talker and a good listener. Also always up for a jam/singalong!

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Bolivia, Cambodia, Canada, China, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, France, Germany, Laos, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United States, Vanuatu, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
