CURRENT MISSION

Keep it simple. Enjoy life as much as I can. Positive vibes.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Roberto from Panamá. You can call me Bob, everybody knows me like that. I'm a cool easy outgoing guy who thinks that knowledge has no limits and experiences in life must be infinite.

I enjoy traveling more than anything else. I like meeting new cultures and absorbing everything good from them. Knowing people from all around the globe is always an amazing experience.

Learning languages is another of my passions because as a famous statement says "learning another language is to get a new soul".

I love my homeland, Panamá. So that's the reason I love people from everywhere to visit it. It's a small country but has huge things to offer. If you would like to have a great experience here, I'll be more than glad to guide you through it.

Peace.

PHILOSOPHY

Positive vibes in every aspect of life provide happiness. If you think optimistically, everything good will happen to you. No complications = success.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people whenever it's possible for me. Sometimes it's difficult due to my job (I'm traveling most of the time), but when I can, I really enjoy visits in my house.I also hope to be hosted when I decide to travel for non-working experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've had a very good experience in this site. I've hosted people from different backgrounds, which helps me to see many things in another way.

I was hosted in London by a Couch Surfer I hosted in my city, which saved me a lot of money and made easier my stay there.

I was also hosted in Brazil and Poland by other Couch Surfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everytime I go to sleep and think about the great day I had is one of the greatest feelings I always have. I think it has been great to have the opportunity to discover a little part of the world and a lot of things that it has to offer. I've been in almost all of the American Continent, and some parts of Europe. Before turning 30, I hope to have known all of the 5 continents at least.
