I always had the dream to travel around the world, that is why when I finished medical school and start working in a routine job in hospitals was not giving me happiness even tho I always wanted to do something for the mankind helping others, so I decided to do something where I can combine both, and started working in cruise ships!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is the best antidote against intolerance, opens your mind to accept that not everything is as we thought, helps to open your mind and erase stereotypes, and I believe that the real experience about traveling is meeting the locals of the area.

Because I'm constantly traveling is hard for me to host people back at home, but it is my plan to help travelers once I settled down.

I haven't had any experience staying with a CS host but I meet along the way very interesting people that I still consider close friends thanks to CS.

Interests

my main interest is not to lose the capacity to be impressed.

I would like to hike a trail for week surviving alone in the wilderness surrounded of nature, mountains and lakes.... but I don't think I'm brave enough to do it.
