About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking THE GIANT LEAP - at last!

ABOUT ME

[Scroll down for English]

Soy un tipo sencillo, con gustos sencillos, sabes... Una puesta de sol en la playa, una copa de vino con una chica adorable, las risas y sonrisas de los que quiero, un par de cervezas con mis "patas" (amigos en peruano), mis posters de los Beatles, la 7ma Sinfonía de Beethoven después de un larguísimo día de trabajo... Cosas así.

Si quieres saber un poquito más de mí, vé a mis páginas web: https://www.facebook.com/tito.horna o myspace.com/grupomixtura

I'm a simple guy with simple likes, you know... A sunset at the beach, a glass of wine with a lovely gal, the smiles and laughters of my friends, a couple of beers with my buddies, posters of the Beatles on the walls of my room, Beethoven´s 7th Symphony after a long, long, long day at work... Things like that.

PHILOSOPHY

[Scroll down for English]

Mi filosofia es: "trátate A TI MISMO del modo en que lo haces con la gente... Y sufre las consecuencias!" Loco, no?

Now in English!
My philosophy is: "Treat YOURSELF the way you treat people... And suffer the consequences!" Crazy, huh?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

[Scroll down for English]

Gracias a CS, tengo la oportunidad de vivir diferentes experiencias con todo tipo de gentes. La mayor parte de esas experiencias son enriquecedoras y excelentes en términos de lugares y personas fascinantes. Otras... No tanto.
Afortunadamente, solemos aprender de lo bueno, lo malo y lo feo, verdad?

Por todas esas razones, Couchsurfing ha probado ser lo mejor para aquellos quienes aun creemos que podemos cambiar este nuestro pequeño globo azul y hacerlo un lugar mejor para todos. Hasta ahora, cada experiencia que he tenido apuntala lo arriba mencionado... Y estoy seguro que la que tendré contigo no será la excepción... Para nada!

Now in English!
Thanks to CS, I do have the chance of living different experiences with almost all walks of life. Most of them are quite pleasant, enriching, and breathtaking in terms of awesome places and people, right... Of course there were (are and will be) others... Anyhow, fortunately you happen to learn from the good, the bad, and the ugly, ain't you, bro?

For all those reasons, Couchsurfing proves right to those of us who still believe that we can make our little blue globe a better place for everybody. So far, each and every CS experience I've had supports the above mentioned, thank goodness... And I'm pretty sure the one to come up with you won't be the exception whatsoever!

Interests

[Scroll down for English]

Me encanta enseñar inglés como segunda lengua y como lengua extranjera. La música me fascina (especialmente si hay grupos vocales involucrados); me gustan la Historia, Ciencia, Arte Clásico y Moderno, Literatura, Arquitectura, caminar por la ciudad sin rumbo fijo...

Soy un fanático de los deportes, (fútbol, fútbol americano, vóleibol, básketbol, tennis, fórmula 1, etc). Aunque en realidad, no los practico mucho...

Now in English!
Love teaching ESL/EFL; music thrills me (especially if vocal groups are involved); I'm fond of History, Science, Modern and Classic art, Literature, Architecture, Waking amidst the big city -without head or tail...

I'm a real sports fan (soccer, American football, tennis, basketball, formula 1, volleyball...), although I'm rather a couch potato!

Music, Movies, and Books

[Scroll down for English]

Me gustan casi todo tipo de películas... Sí, incluso la más viejitas ("Casablanca" puede ser?). Tengo un gusto ecléctico en cuanto a música (todo lo que sea bueno!). Me fascina leer, claro! He aquí algunos de mis libros favoritos: el Perfume, de Patrick Suskind; Siddharta, de Hermann Hesse; Muerte en Venecia, de Thomas Mann; toda la saga de Duna, por Frank Herbert; toda la saga de Fundación, por Isaac Azimov; todos los libros de Mario Vargas Llosa (excepto los últimos... Que no he leido aun!); la Insoportable Levedad del Ser, de Mila Kundera; todos los libros de Dan Brown...

ÚLTIMO LIBRO QUE ESTOY LEYENDO: "¿Tener o Ser?", de Erich Fromm.

Now in English!
Love almost all kinds of movies... Yep, even the oldies (but only some of them... "Casablanca", maybe?). I've got an eclectic ear to appreciate almost any kind of music (bring it on, bud!). Love reading, oh yes! These are some of my favorites: Perfume, by Patrick Suskind; Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse; all the Dune saga, by Frank Herbert; all the Foundation saga, by Isaac Asimov; all the books written by Mario Vargas Llosa (but the latest ones... Haven't read them yet!); The Umbearable Lightness of Being, by Milan Kundera; all Dan Brown books.

LATEST BOOK I'M INTO: "To Have or to Be?", by Erich Fromm
