ABOUT ME

I have just graduated from university and I'm just starting my career as an engineer.

He logrado terminar mis estudios universitarios, y por fin puedo trabajar como ingeniero.

I'd love to travel all over the world, meeting new people and learning about their worlds and experiences. Usually, the first impression I give to people is, that I am very serious. But that can change if you get to know me better.

Quisiera viajar por todo el mundo, conociendo gente y aprendiendo sobres sus costumbres y experiencias. Soy una persona seria, pero trato de ser al mismo tiempo amable y solidario.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life, be happy, just try not to intentionally harm or damage the others.

Vive tu vida, trata de ser feliz a tu manera, pero procura hacerlo sin aprovecharte de otras personas ni hacer daño a nadie de manera intencional.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like hosting polite and considerate people. Whenever I can, if I'm not too busy with my studies or work, I like showing my guests around the city. I'm not a tourist guide or a history teacher, but I might also tell you interesting facts about the city.

Disfruto hospedando gente formal y considerada sin importar su nacionalidad. Si tengo algo de tiempo, me gusta mostrar lugares de mi ciudad a los viajeros. No soy guía turístico o profesor de historia, pero también podría compartir algunos datos interesantes sobre la ciudad.

Whenever I travel, I also enjoy surfing other people's couches.

Cuando se presenta la oportunidad de viajar, también disfruto surfeando algunos sofás. Pienso que es la mejor forma de percibir la atmósfera de un lugar.

Right now I'm still living with my mother, so I'm not able to host regularly but only few times a year. However, I guess I could also ask my friends, if they would be able to host you.

Actualmente aún vivo con mi madre. Por esta razón, no me es posible hospedar regularmente, sino sólamente algunas veces al año y con su concentimiento. De todas formas, si no puedo hospedar, también podría consultar con mis amigos si ellos tienen lugar. También puedo salir simplemente a tomar un café o una cerveza.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a member since 2009 when I was living in Germany spending a year abroad, as an exchange student.
I've surfed in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and Italy, and hosted in Munich and Bogotá. Now, I've also surfed couches in Brazil and Uruguay, where I have met some very nice people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not really someone who loves literature, but I have lately realised that books can show you other worlds and can help you open your mind with new ideas. They're also a very good source of new vocabulary (not only if you're reading in a foreign language, but also in your own!)

I also like reading everything that attracts my attention on wikipedia, specially related to history, geography and science.

I like listening to music, but I guess I'm not much of an expert, so I'll not try to describe any complicated music genre to exlcude all others. I think I'll just listen to any song that wakes my attention on the radio or the internet

Relating to movies, I kind of like documentaries, and movies about history, but I guess a dose of good old action with lots of explosions is cool too! I'm also ok with preety much any animated or girlie movie my girlfriend makes me watch...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
