About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mi mision es dar la vuelta al mundo! My goal is travelling around the whole world!

ABOUT ME

I started travelling around the world some years ago when I quit my job and left home for a trip across Latin America. At the beginning I just wanted to enjoy for the firt time a long-term trip but then it turned to be the adventure of my life, which I shared for many years with my lovely ex-girlfriend Maria Luisa (you will find feedbacks referring to her as well, as this was our couple account before).
I'm very sociable, easy-going and I really like getting to know new people

He iniciado a dar la vuelta al mundo hace unos años cuando dejé mi trabajo y mi casa para un viaje por Latino América. En un principio solo quería disfrutar por la primera vez de un viaje a largo plazo, pero luego se convirtió en la aventura de mi vida, que compartí durante muchos años con mi amable ex-novia, María Luisa (encontraras comentarios que se refieren a ella, porque este era nuestro perfil de pareja antes).
Soy muy sociable y me gusta mucho conocer a nuevas personas.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to get to know myself better and respect the others.

Intentar conocer a mi mismo y respectar al proximo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every time I had a couchsurfing experience I really enjoyed it. I think that this way of travelling is the best way to get to know the real and hidden face of the place that you are visiting.

Interests

I love tasting local food, listening to good music, dancing (I'm not that good tough!) and make the people dance (I'm a dj!), watching movies, talking with friendly people, hiking, riding bicycle, swimming, paddling with kayak.

Me encanta probar la comida local, escuchar buena música, bailar (pero no soy muy bueno!) y mas aun hacer bailar a la gente (¡soy un dj!), ver películas, charlar con gente amable, hacer caminatas, andar en bicicleta, nadar, remar con kayak.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like electronic, rock, funk, and experimental music, reading books of K.Vonnegut, D.F.Wallace, P.K.Dick and watching weird and oneiric movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hug sloths, swim with pink dolphins, see three rainbows at once boating on Amazonas River, colourful lakes in the peruvian Cordillera Blanca and amazing sunrises in Angkor and Bagan, hear the sound of a thousand butterflies flying in Michoacan, help little turtles getting out from their nests in Chiapas, meet welcoming hill tribe people in Thailand and Myanmar, eat bats in Sulawesi, grasshoppers in Oaxaca and ants in Colombia.

Abrazar perezosos, nadar con delfines rosados, ver tres arco iris a la vez navegando por el río Amazonas, lagos de colores increibles en la Cordillera Blanca peruana y amaneceres maravillosos en Angkor y Bagan, escuchar el sonido de el ruido de miles de mariposas volando en Michoacán, ayudar a las pequeñas tortugas a salir de sus nidos en Chiapas, encontrar gente de tribus indigenas de Tailandia y Myanmar, comer murciélagos en Sulawesi, saltamontes en Oaxaca y hormigas en Colombia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk hours and hours about music and teach how to cook a good pasta!

Puedo hablar por años de musica y enseñar a cocinar una buena pasta!
