The thought of leaving this earth without building something that lasts deeply troubles me. In the meantime, I like planting trees.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As most couchsurfers, we can afford to pay for an accomodation.

However, as one travels more you realize that the memories that endure are the moments that were shared with a local. Also, sharing the intimacy of the warmth of one's home with a fellow stranger is a testament of how great humanity can be. I want to be part of that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I was expected to read at least 1 book every month, it was part of my family duties since I started reading until I went to college, and thereon after up until today. I've read most of the classics and some of the most popular contemporary; from business and science to fantasy and sci-fi. I enjoy reading.

I studied the piano for 8 years and the guitar for 7 years. Also, I still remember the basics to reading sheet music. I can enjoy every kind of music that was made with effort and grit, I'm keen to all genres, and spend time discovering new sounds.

A tune that strucks an emotional chord is a very personal experience, one that varies among us, therefore I never judge a person by her interests in music and I don't think it defines them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I wish I could say repair your car, do a medical check-up or even cook; but I only know finance, business, and politicking.

I can build and give you a financial model to manage your business or a budget to keep your personal finances in check. I can help you understand how macroeconomic variables affect our everyday lives, knowledge is valuable. Or I can give you tips to organize a group of people to effectively pursue a political objetive, I've been succesful at this in the past.
