Hey everone. I'm Ricardo and I'm from Ecuador. I'm a very open minded and easy going person that enjoys sharing experiences and meeting people from all around the world. About to get graduated from school and eager to travel a learn about the world, either by myself or other people experiences.

I'm a very passionate person about everything that I do, and truly believe that if you are gonna do something you have to do your best at every single time. I have many hobbies and passions like music (I'm a guitar player in a metal band), sports and entrepeneurship (I'm starting my own business now). I'm also a very happy person that's could make you laugh at any time.

Very respectful, honest and always willing to help people. I love to travel and hope I can meet some new people to learn from each other and make this a better world to travel on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is experiencies and CS is such a good way to some new cool and even crazy memories. I'm on CS to meet new people from all over the world, to learn from every one and share the beauty of my culture and my country! And of course a bit of what I am and what I have to offer to the world as a human being.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is one of my biggest passions. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music from heavy metal to calssical music (just not a very big fan of reggeaton). Of course I have a favorite type of music and it's metal, I listen, write and play it pretty much every single day of my life. I also like discovering new artists and types of music from all around the world, I feel like this is an awesome way not just to connect with the world but also learning new stuff to add to my compositions.

I'm not a movie or tv person, so I don't really watch any of those very often. I couldn't say I have a favorite movie or anything but I do enjoy watching a good film and learning about other cultures through them.

I like to read a lot of stuff, from philosophy to business books, blogs, papers, anything you can learn from. I like to learn things by myself so I'm always searching for information a reading about new things. A book that I just discovered and ejoyed lately Man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankl.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is what CS is all about, sharing, teaching and learning from everyone. I would be happy to share my knowledge about music, sports, nutrition, business and many more things (I could totally teach how to play the guitar if you are interested on that). I'm a very tidy and organized person so I can help with that everywhere I go. I also know how to cook so I can teach or make some ecuadorean dishes. I could totally show you my city or even my country if you are in Ecuador or talk to you about at least if we met at some other point in the world.

I love to learn about everything and I'm sure everyone has something to share so I could learn it. I think we all can make an impact on other people's life either big or small but impact in the end.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A different perspective of the world and everything I know about my culture and my country. I can help cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, teaching spanish, you mention it I wil do it. I could also be a partner for prett much everything, like traveling, working out, hiking and more.
