Hola gente, soy un cineasta salvadoreño. Me gusta pensar que soy una persona tranquila ✌ Salí de mi país hace unos tres años y me quede en Buenos Aires estudiando cine. Ahí conocí a mucha gente de todos lados que estaba recorriendo todo sur america. Eso me inspiro a regresar a mi país viajando y así conocer las culturas suramericanas y entender como van cambiando las cosas a medida que vaya subiendo. Me gusta conocer la comida, costumbres y arte de los lugares.

Hey there folks. I like to think I'm a pretty chilled out person. I'm a filmmaker from El Salvador. I left my country about three years ago and spent three years in Buenos Aires studying film and making films. I met a lot of people there who were traveling through south america and that inspired to return to my country by traveling instead of just hopping on a plane. I'd like to get to know south american culture and see how things start to change as i go north. I'm interesting learning about the food, art and customs of all the places that I visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Estoy viajando desde argentina de vuelta a el salvador. El plan es recorrer Uruguay, la costa de brasil, después atravesar el amazonas en barco para seguir subiendo por Peru, Ecuador, Colombia y después centro america. Me encanta el cine, la música y todo el arte en general. Quiero conocer la gente real de los lugares y no tener una experiencia tan turistica. Quiero ver como vive la gente realmente y volver a mi pais lleno de experiencias y de memorias lindas con la gente que conozca.

I'm traveling from Argentina back to El Salvador. The plan is to go through Uruguay, the coast of brazil, then sail through the amazon river up until Peru, then Ecuador, Colombia and if I'm still up for it- Central America. I love film, music, and all art in general. I want to get to know the real people of the places i visit and avoid the conventional turist experience. I want to see how people really live and come back to my country full of experiences and nice memories of the people I meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a lot of music, movies and books. I'm currently reading history books from my country for research for a project. I've been studying the films of Paul Thomas Anderson and Stanley Kubrick to enrich my filmmaking style. Currently obsessed with The Strain and Game of Thrones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A couple of my friends and me started an art collective that hosted a series of events in Buenos Aires that combined film projections, poetry readings, live music and all sorts of performing arts.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been initiated in the japanese practice of Reiki and spent years studying the Tarot. I'm more than willing to share these things with whoever is interested in some introspection and expanding consciousness.
