Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I travel because I like the art of moving trough the roads, that simple. I like to listen up the moments that I find walking every city. I consider myself as a kind of writer-traveler, because I'm always looking for stories, and traveling is perfect.
ABOUT ME
I like listen people, and that's becuase I consider myself as seeker of stories. So, when people is with me, they can be as they really are, without any mask, and they can be sure that they will have a couple of ears here. I'm not perfect, I have my own perspective of life, as everybody, but I'm not in the right to judge. People are different, and that's a very clear idea that I have in my head.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm just starting to know this way of traveling, through this web site, so I don't have my first Couchsurfing experience until now. In spite of that, I gave host at my home in two opotunities, to people that I considered at that time respectful (a Peruvian and a bogotano).
Interests
I love writing tales, little ones, about things and people born from my head. I'm always writing abuout different topics, or diffefent ways. I also enjoy music, play the guitar and singing. Actually, I work making music, stealing smiles from people everywhere. I love cinema. I really could be hours and hours watching good films, specially the independent ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
1. When I went out in my first travel, I thought that I needed money to do it, but when I realized that I could move with my art, I stayed awestruck. It was hard at the begining, because the streets are full of adventures and you need to be prepared to anything, with the best energy, but as Dosoyevsky said: we can fit to any situation, with a little bit of tenacity (this is not easy positivism... it's to be realistic, and a few poet). The other moments left me awestruck, I own them to you.
