Hi! My name is Roberto. I’m 38 years old and I’m from Quito, Ecuador, in South America.
I hold a degree in Journalism and a Master’s in Foreign Affairs and Political Communication. My academic background has fueled my passion for traveling, exploring new places, and learning about different cultures and ways of life.

Currently, I work as a university professor, which allows me to share knowledge while continuing to learn every day. I consider myself open-minded, respectful, and curious about the world.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, going to the movies, dancing, and having meaningful conversations.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I love visiting new countries and meeting people from different cultures. If you’re reading my profile, feel free to reach out—especially if you’re planning to visit Ecuador! It’s a beautiful and diverse country that I’d be happy to tell you more about.
Also, as an LGBTQ+ rights activist, I’m very interested in learning about how these issues are lived and addressed in other parts of the world.

Intereses

I teach Political Analysis and Foreign Affairs, so I really enjoy talking about politics — but if that’s not your thing, no worries! I’m always respectful of different preferences.

I love dancing, going to parties, and making new friends. I try to hit the gym every day to stay healthy, so if you’re looking for a gym buddy, I’m totally in!

I also enjoy reading, writing, hiking, biking, visiting art museums and galleries, listening to music, going to concerts, shopping, musicals (yes, I’m a fan! LOL), and of course… traveling!

Música, películas y libros

I have a lot of favorite books, however if I had to choose one, I would pick up Essay on Blindness written by Jose Saramago. This novel was published in Portuguese in 1995 and its writer won the Novel Prize with it. An English-language film adaptation of the novel was directed by Fernando Meirelles. The film opened the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.

My favorite movies are: Todo sobre mi madre (Almodovar), The Hours, Devil wears Prada, Love in the time of Cholera, The Hurt Locker, A Clockwork Orange, Paris Je t'aime. I Love horror movies!

I love TV Series: AHS, Sex and the city, Succesion, Euphoria, The Walking Dead, Revenge, Six feet under, Looking, House of Cards, Glee, How to get away with mourder, Desperate Housewives, American Horror Story. I know that many of them finished.

Algo increíble que he hecho

One of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had was going on a Eurotrip. I had the chance to visit several cities across Europe, exploring amazing places like theaters, churches, museums, and landmarks I had always dreamed of seeing. One of the highlights was attending the Circuit in Barcelona — a lifelong dream come true. It was an unforgettable journey that I will always treasure.
