About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel light and enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I am very passionate in everything I do. I never give up. I strongly believe that everything is possible, if we want. There are not limitations to our dreams except the ones we set in our minds.

PHILOSOPHY

We did not come to this world to become famous and/or rich and/or to have a career. We are here for some other reasons beyond what society says.

Live the present and not the future, we do not know for how long we will be in this life.

Live life without fears, if we do not try how we will know that things were or were not possible

Love exists no doubt about it. The problem is that a lot of people are afraid to be loved and love someone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a very open person and I like to meet travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already have had experience with some other surfers and I have met very cool people.

Interests

Traveling, Salsa Dancing, Hiking, Reading, Running, kayaking, cooking, tennis, cycling, snowboarding beach volleyball, touch football, squash, well pretty much any sport :).

Opera, Ballet, learning languages and from other cultures. I speak Spanish and am learning German.

I also teach Spanish once a while =)
Art Galleries, Museums, old cities and towns.
History, International Politics, Social Issues.

Music, Movies, and Books

It is hard to list all of them, instead of that I am listing the genres that I like the most: Horror, Comedy, Documentaries, Love Stories. "Pay It Forward"

I like all different kinds of music.

Books: The Alchemist, Eleven Minutes, The Goal, Rich Dad Poor Dad. Veronika decides to Die, The Zahir, Francesco Una vida entre el Cielo y la Tierra.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In one of my CS experiences I ate tomatoes that have been farmed by the same family for over 100 years. They have been using the seeds of the same family of tomatoes for this period of time. It made me think a lot about other things in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is something new to learn everyday. We need to keep our ears and eyes open all the time for this.

I can teach Spanish if someone wants me to and/or Salsa dancing =) I can also cook some Mexican food if you are a good guest =)
