About Me

I finished studying and flew off to get a better grasp of the world. Now Im just this geographer in Europe trying to make sense of how people live together on the other side of earth.
I set out to learn as much as I can from others, hopefully through their normal cotidian lives and get to know places from the inside. I tend to adapt easily and I like mixing myself to try and get the best out of people, creating the mood and ambient to make them feel at ease, generally with music and cooking nice meals. It's important for me to give in return what I can, so I promise good talks and hopefully some laughs (and also the silence when needed)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I have the time but not much of the money to keep going through Europe. It's expensive! But its the best kind of travelling I think, because at the same time is a grat way to meet people and get an idea of places from the inside

Interests

Geography, design, architecture, history, mountain sports, reading, movies, digital technologies,

Music, Movies, and Books

Now im just finishing Introitus Lapidis of Jim Dodge, wich has been quite a revelation. Its been a good friend at the beginning of the journey, and then I will start one of James Joyce.
I really enjoy books and films of different sorts, but To make a small list of them I would say that some of the most important writters for me are Cortazar, Yates, Lipovetsky, Manuel Delgado, Lefebvre, Kerouak.
Some movies that I love are Brazil, Irreversible, Another Earth, Gueros, Slacker, Delicatessen, La Heine, El Profeta, Gegen die wand.
I could go on, as well as with the bands I listen to. I like listening to all sorts of music depending on the moment, but Some of the ones that are always with me are Mac deMarco, Beck, Bill Callahan, Cotton Jones, Leonard cohen, Sumo, Doors, Jerry Paper

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It' hard to pick just one! Each one has its own distinction, but I would have to say that trvelling through the Amazon river in a cargo ship with some friends has been one of the most amazing things I've done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn how to dance better, and give better massages.
I can teach some english or spanish, about how the earth works, how to sail, ski, rock climb or ride a longboard, a little bit about cities, life and technology maybe or how to paint or write. I dont really know. I could teach many things

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually have little knowledge on a lot of stuff, so I can help in many things, haha But seriously, im good with hands, so I can help with all sorts of crafts needed at home. I had my little workshop at home where I made lamps and board games out of wood mostly.
I like to cook a lot, so I can make good meals.
I write, and paint a lot during my trips, so I can show you what ive seen and been doing and maybe make something together.

Countries I’ve Lived In
