What’s up? I am Andres Rodriguez, an English and French teacher, and a person who likes to have fun; I enjoy travelling and have different experiences. I work as an English and French teacher because languages open the doors to new worlds, experiences and people.
On my days off, you'll either find me watching movies or visiting my friends. I try to spend at least one day a week doing something fun with my friends or at being in touch with them. I'm the type of person who likes to seize opportunities and make the most of every day. Above all else, I value honesty and kindness in a partner and a friend. OH I also enjoy reading, all kind of books.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I would like to have the pleasure of meeting and befriending complete strangers, staying in local homes instead of hotels or hostels, well I love travelling and being here makes it easier. My goal is to broaden my horizons and have lots of experiences about people and places.

Interests

Travelling, I'd love to travel as much as possible. I think life is too short and it is important to take advantage of the moments we have to get to know people and places.

Getting to know people, I think it is great when you have friends all over the world, have the change to share with them and get in touch.

Food, well who doesn’t love food? Food is like travelling because each place and country has different kind of food.

Music and dancing, just enjoy, drink something or eat something while you listen to music and if possible dance to let yourself go.

Teaching and learning, since I am a teacher I am always interested in new ways of teaching and learning, as well as learning from people’s experiences about those process.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do not have a preference for music… I like all kind of music, the same thing for the books and movies. I think that I should be open to new things and experiences that is why I don’t like a specific genre of books, movies or music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I kind of saved a friend who was having an asthma attack… we were having fun with a friend and he was telling jokes but out of the blue my friend Sara started to have an asthma attack because she laughed to loud. She was getting blue and I didn’t know what to do. Unfortunately she hadn’t brought with her the inhaler. I was almost panicking, but fortunately I remembered that she lived two blocks away from where we were. I carry her in my arms and we got to her home. As soon as her mom saw us, she immediately knew what was happening so she went inside the house to get the inhaler … two minutes later she was birthing normally
