About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and learn as much as I can. Leave this world better than it was when I arrived.

ABOUT ME

I am easy-going, open-minded and heart-spoken.

I love music (preferably live), learning (everything I can), technology (perpetually ignorant), craft beer (mostly all beer), football (round ball, of course), traveling (light), films, books, joking around.

I practice a lot of sports, but I drink a lot of beer as well, so I can restore the balance in my universe ;)

PHILOSOPHY

"Como ser humano soy una especie de antología de contradicciones, de gaffes, de errores, pero tengo sentido ético. Esto no quiere decir que yo obre mejor que otros, sino simplemente que trato de obrar bien y no espero castigo ni recompensa. Que soy, digamos, insignificante, es decir, indigno de dos cosas,. El cielo y el infierno me quedan muy grandes." borges

Live all you can, its a mistake not to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started hosting international friends of friends and acquaintances even before learning about the CS project, so I was really glad when I heard about it.
I love learning about different cultures, getting to know new people and having good times, either wild partying or just relaxed chatting. I really enjoy helping out others and having the opportunity of growing by learning from different experiences and perspectives and, in a way, I think that's what drives CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was an active member from 2009 to 2012 (hosted a bit, surfed a bit as well, attended CS meetings, trying to give surfers some local perspective of my city), but lost touch after I changed home and became more sedentary due to job restrictions. I am making my best to catch up, though :)
