Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

,Surfers are welcome to my "couch" in ARIZONA. . I do travel a lot, so if I am in TUCSON, I will be more than happy to have somebody staying with me at home, because I do love company .
JUST check my actual location because I could also provide couching at a place where I am at any given moment. RIGHT NOW, I am in TUCSON, ARIZONA.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did travel throu Europe as a student and now, as a professional. I travel throu the States and to third world countries in specific medical mission, sometimes with Doctors Without Borders.

Interests

I enjoy debates and rational thinking. I like philosophy, mostly the presocratics. I´d been inspired by Nitzche, Bach, Borges ( no in this order).
