Dear inquirer,
I’m Rigo, albeit some call me Rigs, others Rigito, and when mom and others dear to me call me Rigobel, I know for sure that I’m in trouble, hahaha. The Enneagram says I am an achiever, although I definitely have some 1 and 4 tendencies. Myers Briggs says I am an INTJ. Nevertheless, I am just a simple guy trying to live with an openness to be surprised by his creator. My openness has led me to different cultures and has prompted me to embrace and connect with a variety of people. I am a friar, priest, bioethicist, a professor, but I am also just a human being like you reading this, and I want to connect with you if our paths cross so I can share in the unique addition that you bring to this world. I do not judge but rather listen to better understand other people’s perspectives. I strive to move out of my comfort zone, so I can share in the lived experiences of others. My life is just one perspective, and yours is another I want to also embrace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I typically have a place where I can stay when I travel, such as with family, friends, or a hotel, but my adventurous nature propels me to connect with new people to widen my horizons. Finding the Couchsurfing Platform has been an excellent avenue for me to make these connections.

Interests

Playing sports, adventure, traveling, festivals, Religion, singing and playing music, making new friends (not necessarily in this order). If you’ve read by profile to this point and want to connect please include the phrase “The Beans” in your message, so I can know that you read my profile. Even if you don’t include the word, I will still respond to your message but would require that you read my profile before we can continue our conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

I find something fascinating in every book or movie I read/watch, but we could start with The spy next door for movies and Justice: what is the right thing to do? For books. Music… Oh well, it all depends on my mood. I love it all but not all the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Because I am a daredevil, I have done several amazing things I would like to share with you if the occasion arises. Nevertheless, I have given up my life to the service of others, which is a fantastic accomplishment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to juggle three balls. I am willing to learn any of your skills as long as you are comfortable with competition because I will likely become good at it. Concerning sharing, all that I have can be shared as long as there is a genuine need.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an open book and would pretty much share whatever skills and talents I have with you.
