About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty laid back, pretty open minded.

Here are a few quick notes about myself-->
->I'm clean, organized, and people say intelligent too.
->I've worked hard to be able to do things that I find amazing.
->I hold in high regards people that know where their going.
->I know where I'm going (or at least I think I do :P )
->I enjoy diversity and cultural exchange.

PHILOSOPHY

Ehm I dunno, I try to make the most out of life, but I'm also very responsible. I'm agnostic and to some degree pragmatic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed many couches through Europe in college, and now I'm ready to start hosting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch Surfing through Europe was the best decision I could have taken. I had wonderful hosts, I learned a lot about each city I visited, and now I'm convinced there's no better way of traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked during the summer of 2007 in Honduras with a small community to prepare everything needed to plant 15,000 coffee plants. This was a project aiming at the community's own self-empowerment, development, and economical growth. It was an amazing experience and I also learned a few things about coffee production.

Other amazing things:
*Participated in international math olympiads after wining the national ones a couple of times.
*Saw the sunrise from the river bank of the Nile while riding a Feluca from Aswan to Kom Ombo (Egypt).
*Went inside the Pyramids.
*Went Canyoning in Switzerland.
*Touched a shark, a ray, and a jellyfish!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to cook, so I can share that. I'm a great work out buddy, I brew my own beer, make great mojitos, and... I can teach how to dance salsa and merengue!
