I'm 32; born and raised in El Salvador. When I was 20 years old I had the opportunity to take my first trip out of the continent (Republic of China Taiwan)
It was such an amazing experience that after 5 years my love for traveling has only increased. I love social and cultural exchange: I love sharing my culture and also learning from others.
I am very polite and shy at first but once we have that level of confidence I transform into an energetic and talk active guy. As long as you have an adventure coming up; don't care about the details and let's do it.

You only live once!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found this page thanks to my best-friend. Very active girl that likes to travel and write. She told me about the amazing opportunities you can find and how much cheaper and entertaining it is to stay with locals instead of just a hotel.
Since I am always looking for inspiration for my new pieces, I thought it'll be an excellent idea to start experiencing my trips from the "local perspective".... They know best!

I want to expand my network and have family and friends all around the globe. My couch is your couch and you are more than welcome to join!

Life is a big adventure and it's pretty awesome when you find new friends along the way.

Interests

Basically I'm up to anything: wanna go for a walk, hiking, a cup of coffee, a couple drinks?... You name it! I'm the kind of way who wants to experience first and then decide if I like it or not.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is just where you have meaningful and deep lyrics combined with a great melody... Or one of each.
About books, I don't judge so I can't tell you this is my favorite because I read everything.
Movies... Let's say that if you have a well constructed story or a hidden message, I'll be hooked. I also like anime and manga.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the coolest things from my trips was to travel in a hidden beach deep in Rio de Janeiro. My first time surfing and I was doing it at a paradise beach.
After that we went camping to the rain forest... Definitively this experience changed my life and how I look at the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching: I worked for almost two years as a volunteer teacher for a public school back in El Salvador.
I am a Bahai so we are always looking for service opportunities within our community. I think sharing is part of teaching and whenever you teach you always learn. It is a big and exciting cycle.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have different things that might interest you.
I am an artist: I can paint, I am learning to write and I LOVE learning new languages.
If you are trying to learn or improve your Spanish... THIS IS THE RIGHT GUY!
