I am a professionally driven ad guy at day and cycling enthusiast and Ping Pong propagandist at night. Being brought up in a German-Spanish-Mexican household, I remain a third-culture-kid at heart wherever I go.

I get my best thinking done in the shower. And I believe that the biggest meal of the day should be the first. Being out and about exploring my surroundings with friends and enjoying life to the fullest is what makes me happy.

Biggest lesson in my life so far: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." - Ferris Bueller

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe you never really "get" a place without meeting the people who live there and sharing moments with them. I've always preferred listening to local people recommendations over travel guides.

And hosting is the other way round: You never really "get" yourself when you don't get to know new people, share your thoughts with them and above all provide a place to stay to honor the people who are curious and want to discover the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One "amazing" thing I'm about to do:

I will be traveling the states (Washington, Oregon, California, Utah & Arizona) on a motorcycle from September - November 2016. If you know people who can provide a place or share with some recommendations of places I'll gladly accept them.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have something you can share with me, be it technical, culinary, or cultural, I'm much more likely to accept your request. I'm interested in food recipes from all over the world and I don't know how to do good knots. Now it's your turn.
