I come from a city in the middle of the Venezuelan Andes (Mérida) which has very creative, friendly and respectful people.

I like to laugh, listen to good music and eat well.

In Mérida you will have a friend to go camping, make some Beer-Tour through the city, drink a cup of coffee or just discover the natural beauties of my little city!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A long time ago a friend of mine who is CS Host ( Victor Da Silva ) invited me to go around with CouchSurfers trough the city and his place. That was my very 1st contact with this phenomenal idea, I met a bunch of CS from different countries.

It was a really good time so i´d like to come alive again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Make a Gastronomic Filming Tour trough Venezuela (almost two month) , walking on sea urchins in Margarita, eating tarantula and Ants in Amazonas, cooking a goat in Lara with two crazy & drunken policeman!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you have a guitar, I can teach you songs (The Bossa Nova is a very interesting rhythm to play).

I´m traveling with a Cuatro (A String Venezuelan Instrument, some kind of Ukulele) so if you want, I could teach you a song with it, or just listen to it´s beautiful sound.

I could teach you some salsa dancing tips.
I make excellent Caipirinhas.
I could prepare some Venezuelan food.
