About Me

Imagine a boy that never wanted to hangout, to travel, etc. He just wanted to stay still, and live a planned life.

Well, i buried this boy a little time ago in exchange for the new me. After the first time i've gone abroad i had an epiphany. After this, my goals are to know as many places as i can while i can, to meet new people, learn their languages, their cultures, etc. Also, let's party, let's do something memorable. I see myself as this kind of person right now.

Want to know more? Be here on the same bat time and the same bat chan... Bah, just kidding, let's talk and you'll know a lot more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because i get bored easily, and i need new things to get out of "boryness" ( just invented this word, neologism baby), and there is around 7.6 BILLION people i haven't met yet. BOOM! Mindblow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked in a NGO with elderly people. Quite shocking.

Teach, Learn, Share

Way out:
- I can teach you the basics to put a rocket in orbit ( Seriously)
- I can teach you about the languages that i know.
- I can teach you how to cook something simple ( i'm not a good cooker though)
- I can teach you physics, math, history, etc. ( I read a lot)
- I can teach you how to control your sleep to sleep anywhere

Way in:
- I'm willing to learn any new language you try to teach me
- Show me your dancing skills!
- Try to teach me how to cook something simple, and if i don't burn a quarter of the country, teach me another.
- Show me customs, culture, anything. I'm very interested in the unknown.

Both ways:
- Be prepared to a bit of face masking with a local drink we have here. Also, I always bring some with me, so don't expect to be spared if i'm not in my home country.
- If we establish a good connection, you'll have a friend for life.
- Let's talk about our stories, where have we been, what happened to us, etc. These things are the cherry on the cake.

What I Can Share with Hosts
