ABOUT ME

My name is Ricardo but everyone calls me Ritchie. I am 27 years old. I am willing to improve my English and French as much as possible.

I consider myself as a kind, respectful, friendly, open minded and charismatic person. I am interested in several things in life such as sports, politics, psychology, philosophy, languages, tourism, etc. I love travelling! I do that very often with my bike around Bolivia. Do not hesitate to contact me in case you need details of travel routes and hotels to stay. I will be more than happy to provide you with the information you require.

Sports I love most are cycling, jogging, running, chess, drafts and basket.

PHILOSOPHY

-Don´t gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver and gold.

- “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to go out for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine with travellers to practice my English, French or Portugues.

I will be pleased to go on a cycling tour or for a stroll around Cochabamba and explain some traditions we have here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting foreign people at home since 2012. I learned many things from all of them. Nowadays, it is not possible for me to do that anymore. However, I am keen to continue helping foreigners by showing them the city, have a drink, travelling around, etc. Feel free to contact me anytime!
