About Me

ABOUT ME
I live with my wife Mariana, and our dog Kira in Denver, CO (USA). That much is true, everything below is stuff that I wrote about 7 years ago, so it may not be 100% accurate anymore.

I'm kind of quiet, tranquilo. I used to be into partying all the time but grew out of that phase, tho the occasional party is great. I look like a hippy but don´t feel like one... I'm a vegetarian (well-pescatarian--I eat fish but not meat). Umm... I'm alive, what's your excuse?

PHILOSOPHY

Maybe I'll have that figured out in another 10 years...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had lots of fun couch surfing in South America, I was hosted by some pretty awesome people in South America, now that I have a place of my own I'd like to host other surfers as well!
Unfortunately I think all the changes they're making to the website are in the wrong direction.

Interests

Music, learning Spanish, politics-abolishing capitalism before it kills the planet. Acting, Anthropology, finding the secret of happiness, the middle of nowhere, the center of everywhere, and pickles!

Music, Movies, and Books

Muchos! Musica: rock, hiphop, jazz, foklorico, todos tipos. Grupos: Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Mos Def, Manu Chao, Miles Davis, MIA, Flogging Molly, the Pogues, John Coltrane, Johnny Cash, Buena Vista Social Club, Warren Zevon, Atmosphere, Medeski Martin and Wood y mucho mas...

I like movies but I honestly don´t watch that many. I do particularly like comedy movies/tv from The Simpsons and Futurama to Bill Hicks and Monty Python, Wes Anderson (Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums) and many others (but not that Scary Movie crap!!)

Books: Hitchhiker´s Guide to the Galaxy (La guia galactica de hacer dedo), Savages-Joe Kane. La Memoria del Fuego-Eduardo Galeano, Ursala K. Leguin...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Umm... I saw some pretty cool shows (like Roger Water (Pink Floyd), Audioslave, Flogging Molly and lots of hip-hop groups) back when I was about 17-22 or so. I guess in general I like chilling and relaxing more than thrill seeking...

Teach, Learn, Share
