Im a 24 year old kid born and raised in Guatemala with a passion for sports, music and healthy living. I also love learning anything and love to hear moving stories. I love talking with anybody and feel that everyone has something to teach me. I also like to pretend I know I how to sing and play the guitar.

Have been working as a head soccer coach for a while now and I recently graduated from college with a degree in Finance. Currently thinking of going back to school to study sports medicine and fire science (part time firefighter). But who knows... I have this problem of falling in love with any almost any subject from time to time....

I also believe that there is no such thing as a free lunch and/or in this case "free couch." So even though some people don't expect anything in return.. THATS TOO BAD! I will always help out with a big smile on my face. (occasionally accompanied with some sort of bad joke) :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't couch surfed yet, but Im very experienced in sitting on couches, I'm currently sitting on one, and have gone surfing in Costa Rica. Close enough?

Other than that I love any idea that makes people come alive. If done just right, I can imagine that the people who I will encounter, places ill go and the stories I will hear will be better than any Hollywood movie.

If you tell me to check something out.. I most likely will.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I feel that every moment has its particular track of music so I pretty much like everything. But nothing really beats an acoustic guitar or piano and a great voice.

Movies - Rocky, Warrior, Ray

Authors - Tim Ferriss, Edkart Tolle, Dave Asprey, Steven Kolter, Peter Diamandis

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a volcano, went to the Olympics in Vancouver and Brazil, camped in the woods, helped build a school for community in Guatemala.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ive been teaching soccer to kids from 16 and under. The best ones are probably the 2 and 3 year olds.

Ive been learning martial arts and yoga. Mostly boxing and muay thai. Kicks to the face I don't recommend.

I don't have a degree or certification but Im pretty good on nutrition and know how the body and mind works.
