I am Oscar, the third of seven brothers, accustomed to family life, with a sense of community and social responsibility. I’m a simple man who enjoys the simple things of life away from luxury
I am a person who seeks constant and permanent learning, a lover of nature and animals. After spending 8 years teaching I discovered that I need to break the routine, learn new things and expand my horizons.
Friend of reading, travel, photography and outdoor life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After knowing the experience of friends who have made couchsurfing I discovered that it is the perfect opportunity to share and learn from others in a pleasant and familiar environment. To stop being a tourist to be a guest I think it is an invaluable experience that I would also like to live and share

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far my best trip has been, without a doubt, to know and visit Machu Picchu and its surroundings. Being able to know in situ a world heritage of which I had only read (and quite a lot) was an invaluable experience. The view, the history and the magic that surround this place is difficult to describe with words.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a teacher I always enjoy sharing everything I know with others, obviously I have great knowledge about Latin American culture (music, food, customs).
As a psychologist I like to know and learn from people.
I have always been interested in the culture of the East, its philosophy, religion (despite being an atheist), its lifestyle and I believe that this trip will be the opportunity to learn everything i can and grow as a person

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to know and learn from different cultures and I think that accompanied by people with similar interests is the best way to do it. Because of my vocation as a teacher I always enjoy teaching what I know, so I think this would be a good opportunity to also share my culture with other friends around the world.
