About Me

In this time, I am living the nomad life, traveling and working across South America while exploring new ideas, ways of thinking, lifestyles and cultures. I am pretty easy-going and open minded, content with both the quiet life living close to nature or the crazy fast and fun lifestyle of living in cities (I usually alternate between the 2).

Ahora, quiero vivir una vida nomada, viajando y trabajando por sud america. me gustaria explorar ideas nuevas, formas de pensar, estilos de vida y culturas. Soy facil de tratar y de mienta abierta. Estoy contento vivir ambos una vida traquila cerca de la naturaleza o la vida loca, rapida, diveritida de la cuidad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To easily meet and make friends with people from where I am traveling. To try and experience a sense of the normal life there. To avoid tourist trap hostels. To speak spanish (often people only talk english at hostels). To save money

encontrar facilmente nuevos amigos del lugar de donde estoy viajando. Tratar experiencar la vida normal. Evitar hostels turisticos. Practicar espanol, y guardar plata

Interests

Of course to travel. I love trekking in the mountains, the beach, jungle, live music (music in general), recently started learning the charango which has become a new passion. Learning about biocontruction. Open to different philosphy/psychology/spirituality. Parties, hanging out with friends.

Viajar, viajar, viajar. escalar las montanas, la player, la selva. Musica en vivo. recien empense a tocar el charango, ahora es un pasion. aprender biocontrucion. filosofía, psicología, espiritualidad.
Fiestas, y pasar el tiempo con buenos amigos.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - all types really, recently listening to a lot of folklore music from the andes, but love electronic music, hip hop, rock, indian classical, salsa.
Books, anything by herman hesse (Narcissus and Goldmund) or murakami (The wind up bird chronicles).
Movies - favourite directors would have to be wes anderson and darren arronofsky, but depends on the mood, love independent movies but can easily watch some hollywood trash

Musica - todo. recientamente he estado eschucando a musica folklorica de los andes. me encanta electronica, hip hop, rock, salsa, clasica hindu.
Libros - Hermann Hesse y Murakami estan mi favorite
Peliculas - Wes anderson y Darren Arronofsky, pero puedo disfrutar muchas typos de peliculas, aunque peliculas malas de estados unidos (depende de mi estado de ánimo).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe 4 months solo trekking in the himalayas or 6 weeks walking through India with 300 Tibetan monks and nuns protesting the Chinese occupation of Tibet
