I am an adventurous person who loves to talk to new people and share experiences with them. I look out for others especially when traveling. I have been raised to be very open and accepting of new ideas and cultures and make sure to respect the rules of the house in which I am staying. I want to have friends from everywhere on earth!

I have also been told I smell nice which is a plus.

Looking for some cool local people to share some experiences with. I am the type of guy who loves learning about local language, culture and history -- getting deeper than the top 10 attractions of a city.

I am a very active guy who is interested in virtually everything… travel, music of all kinds, books, food, restaurants, wine, art, movies, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know a lot of people are on this site just for the free place to stay but not me. I want to meet people that are different than me and staying in someone's home is one of the most intimate ways to get to know a culture fast.

Also, I want to meet some cool people and potentially show them my city if the circumstances arise.

Interests

Hobbies:

Sports - tennis, fútbol, football, basketball, volleyball etc.

Outdoors - Hiking, backpacking, bike riding

Indoors - Reading, video games, programming

As for my academic interests, my degree is in Political Science and Economics. I love talking about American politics and comparing the american political system to that of other countries. My specialization is the economic development of Latin America but I do not discuss these things with strangers. We need to be friends first :)
