About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mountain Bike Europe with my buddy Zach

ABOUT ME

Trustworthy, friendly, approachable,, spontaneous, clean, hygienic, respectful, athletic, enjoy laughing. I speak Spanish fluently so no worries about communication gaps. I'm happy to practice with those that are looking to learn some English. I am a laid back person that enjoys very much meeting new people, one of the many good reasons to travel. Travel has been a passion of mine for years now and I cherish sharing experiences. It is the personal interactions that shape a journey for me more than the landscape although I do love mountains!

Confiable, amigable, accesible, espontáneo, ordenado, excelente higiene personal, respetuoso, atlético, me gusta reír. Soy fluente en español, por lo tanto, la comunicación no es un problema. Me alegra practicar con aquellos que están interesados en aprender inglés. Soy una persona relajada que disfruta mucho conocer gente nueva, una de las tantas buenas razones para viajar. Viajar ha sido mi pasión por muchos años y valoro compartir experiencias. Para mí, son las interacciones personales las que dan forma a una travesía, no tanto los paisajes, aunque sí amo las montañas!

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty is a way of life that is liberating for the soul. Some things are hard to say, but it is much more difficult to keep things inside. You can always trust that I will be telling you the truth and I value people that operate on the same principles.

La honestidad es un estilo de vida liberador para el alma. Algunas cosas son difíciles de decir, pero aún más difícil es guardarse cosas dentro de uno. Siempre puedes confiar en que te diré la verdad I valoro a las personas que se manejan con los mismos principios.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a lot of great memories from surfing, hosting and just meeting people on this site. I like to give back to the people that host me and I always find a way. Sometimes it is by taking them out for a drink, cooking for them etc. and I am creative. When I surf, saving money is not my motivation, it is getting to know people from different walks of life. It makes me happy to contribute to others.....

Tengo muchos buenos recuerdos habiendo hecho couch, recibiendo en mi casa y conociendo gente en este site. Me gusta ser recíproco con mis anfitriones y siempre encuentro una forma, ya sea saliendo a tomar algo, cocinando para ellos, etc , y soy creativo. Cuando hago couch, mi motivación no es ahorrar dinero sino tener la oportunidad de conocer personas de diferentes lugares. Me hace feliz ayudar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the sun rise from the top of the mountain furthest from the center of the earth.

Vi el amanecer desde la cima de la montaña más alejada del centro de la tierra.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught sailing and diving professionally over the last few years. I am very knowledgable in alpine climbing, and knots of all forms. I can help others learn to explore there artistic side in just about any medium. If anything breaks while I am around, I can probably show you how to fix it.

He dado clases de navegación y buceo profesionalmente en los últimos years. Tengo amplio conocimiento en escalada de montaña, y armado de nudos. Si algo se rompe mientras estoy allí, probablemente pueda arreglarlo.
