I am an Ecuadorian-Venezuelan. I was born in Venezuela, but all of my family is from Ecuador, this I have been very involved with both countries since I was a child.

I am a National Tour Guide of Ecuador and I run a tour operator in the city of Cuenca. Couchsurfing had a lot to do with me starting a career into tourism (but of course, I do not charge anything to my guests!).

CURRENT MISSION

Work to convert Ecuador into a tourist power. Learn about the world, and eventually travel around it.

ABOUT ME

I like to know about the world and their different cultures. I'd love traveling all around the world in a future, not just for seeing places and taking pictures, but also for knowing people and learn from them. I love languages. I speak Spanish, English and Portuguese, I also study German and French.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that the best way to feel well with yourself is being honest, and that the best way to be satisfied because of your hard work and feel useful is to do this work for the others. I think that nothing will fulfill you more than helping others, being a support for others.

Humans can be complicated, but we have been certainly improved through the years, and I think there will be a time when we won't be fighting for silly stuff anymore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I entered this community because I wanted to share my knowledge about my birth city (Caracas) as I learned about others' cultures. I have always liked learning about cultures, but also seeing others learning about mine. Then I moved to Cuenca, but I kept wanting to share with others all I knew about my new home, because even though the local culture was not my birth culture, now this is my place and my home.

I have already been hosted by great people who have the CS spirit and I have also hosted great travelers, which I have done in Cuenca, Ecuador, with great experiences so far.

Music: I think you can find at least one good song in any kind of music. I wouldn't tag me myself into a genre, I listen a little bit of everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Iguazu Falls, it is amazing how little you are in front of nature, and how powerful and beautiful it is.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languages, actually, I love doing it. I can teach Spanish, English and Portuguese.

I can shown you the city of Cuenca and some hiking routes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Languages, lots of talk (only if they want), cleanness.
