Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve been an “informal CS host” for a long time. I’ve hosted many many many people in my home, mainly students or people from the U.S. I guess the logical step was to go formal.
I’d like to meet people from all over the world, learn about different cultures and to travel but getting to know the life of the locals and experience the real deal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won a computer on a TV show

I traveled to Lappland, rode a dog sleigh, met a Sami family, rolled around in the snow after a sauna

I’ve been an international exchange student in two countries USA (ASU) and Sweden (KAU)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach English, learn engineering, share sustainable development.
I’m very involved and passionate about the environment as well as educating people about the ban or minimal access to single use plastic. I also like to promote the beauty and positive things about my country and to persuade people to visit and to not believe what the media portrays.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can practice Spanish, English, share hot cocoa, coffee or tea and a nice talk. I can help clean and do house shores but I'm more interested in talking and exchanging cultural experiences.
I'm also interested in people's views about climate change, nature, recycling, societal views and priorities about sustainable development. I'm currently writing a book/manual about recycling but I want to include the world's views, processes and thoughts about it, by taking under consideration people's struggles and achievements in doing so.
