I'm an adventurer, a learner, a curious monkey, and a storyteller. I am a writer for a small surreal newspaper called The Surreal Times and currently writing a novel about dreams (that has taken me to the stars and back) and a graphic novel about childhood. I am a mix bread between Ecuador and USA; my mind is a fruit punch of Spanish and English-- both of which talk to each other. My biggest dream is to one day create my own country/society with the most amazing people I have meet along the way...

Soy un aventurero de Ecuador en busca de inspirar, conocer, explorar, y aprender absolutamente todo lo que yo pueda. Soy escritor y viajero profesional, adaptable como un camaleón, amante de la naturaleza y las personas interesantes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently embarking on trip from Quito, Ecuador to as far South as I can. Trying to find some stories, laughs, and interesting people along the way. Couchsurfing is the best way to blend cultures and meet people that are as interested as I am in traveling and expanding their mind through interacting with new cultures.

Conoci el mundo de CS cuando emprendi en un peregrinaje al fin del continente Americano desde mi ciudad de Quito. La verdad, la verdad, pero la mas verdad de las verdades, es que CS es una excelente manera de conocer personas y la cultura local. Quien quiera que lo invento tuvo una gran idea porque es tan sencillo y enriquecedor para sus participantes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about new cultures, new languages, secret spots, bravery, dance moves, how to do a backflip.

I can teach you how to lucid dream, how to write fiction, how to meditate, and how to sing and dance badly.

Te puedo ensenar ingles, a tocar guitarra, a surfear, a escribir cuentos/poemas, a dibujar abstracciones, a caminar sin cansarte, a vivir una doble vida mientras duermes.
