CURRENT MISSION

Find out what makes me feel in awe, bring more of those things to my life and help others do the same.

ABOUT ME

My life is a radical experiment on learning.

I have traveled around the world visiting countries like India, China, Peru, Canada, United States and most of the countries in Europe, with the purpose of learning how other people live their lives, looking for clues about what makes them feel alive and see if those things worked for me too.

I have tendency to try things that seem impossible, like learning how to sing at 28, studying to be a Computer Engineer and end up working as group coach, starting businesses or even challenging the immigration system of the US.

I studied Computer Engineering not because I liked technology but because I wanted to learn how to make good use of a tool we as human beings have not yet been able to use in a healthy way for ourselves and our society.

Some of the most meaningful lessons in my life came from being surrounded by communities of loving and supportive people driven to improve how our world works. Learn more at http://thevillage.us

At this moment, I am starting a new business with the goal of teaching teams to collaborate in a way that dives more performance for the team and more personal satisfaction for each team member.

PHILOSOPHY

Be present in the moment, feeling alive and in awe.

Every situation where I don't feel comfortable is an opportunity for learning something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My living situation is completely unpredictable at the moment and I don't have a coach even for myself. I would love to offer a coach as soon as I have it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to CS and I can't wait to meet the community!

Interests

+ I love to meet entrepreneurs and learn about how they have started things up and solved problems that didn't have a solution before.

+ To listen to music inspires me and nourishes me. I am currently starting to learn how to sing (which I consider the biggest challenge of my life).

+ Nature gives me joy and peace. Combined with sports like hiking or kayaking is the perfect combination for a perfect day.

+ Community and people collaborating together to achieve something bigger than themselves makes me feel in awe.

Music, Movies, and Books

Celtic is my favorite kind of music by far.

This is my reading list: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/14624644?shelf=read

I enjoy movies that let me feeling more inspired than I was when I started watching them.

Sci-fi and those movies based on a true story where the main characters struggles to improve how our world works get me absolutely pumped.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

+ To get in love has been the most amazing thing I have done. No doubt.
