Hey hey, you just landed on Monti's CS profile :) You can reach me on IG via @metamontino (btw I can host you peeps but last min request usually donโt work cuz I have plans most of the time) So far, I've lived in Tetouan, Lyon, Daejeon (Korea) and Paris. Very fond of traveling, I try to go where people havenโt been much. Iโm a sucker for the thrill & the adventure. Some life inspirations ! Basquiat for his expressive courageous take on the world, Mishima for giving equal importance to the body and the mind, Nietsche for his transcendental philosophy, Hemingway for his bold and serene depiction of a wild world, Murakami for having awakened in me the emotional artistic approach to life. I have a good sense of humour. The more people get to know me, the merrier we get. I'm most passionate about life, how to make the most of it, about how an individual, feeling ever so different special and unique, can thrive in society as a whole. Big sports addict, Iโm a regular at either climbing, gym, soccer, boxing, or snowboarding & surfing on vacayyy

CURRENT MISSION To try things the best way possible. ABOUT ME I was born in Latin-America, where I grew up. But I was also raised by two host families, to whom I lived in the USA and Germany. Thus, I became a flexible, nice guy who knows how to cook, dance and play bagpipes. I studied international commerce, translation, management, and web development. But I ended up working on e-marketing, IT projects among others. Nowadays, I work seasonal periods at Disneyland for fun. I like to read, cook and learn from different cultures and some others perspectives. I think people are like books with unlimited pages, which you can learn a lot from some of their chapters of their lives. PHILOSOPHY I shall not act as a citizen from where I was born, nor as from a national identity or the past that it represents, but from the world and the future that we are building together. Otherwise, tolerance, justice and peace would be thrown to a side. Everyone has to try to be his best on what he likes to do. If you do not know what you like to do, then that is what you should be looking for. VERY USEFUL INFO & TIPS from a CS Ambassador in PARIS โ Source come from a Paris CS Ambassador with 100% positive references from 150+ travelers 1๏ธโฃ Reminder: CS is not Tinder. ๐ ๐ปโโ๏ธ So behave with digital hygiene. Hosts are not a Bunk swipper to cherry pick or ghost them later. Remember each interaction you have is not a Chat Bot or Any one getting paid to answer you. Those persons on the other side is a person giving up his time to host you, or on most extreme cases Hosts receiving emergency surf coachers in real need of local help to fix a big problem, specially Capital Cities. 2๏ธโฃ Respect CS hosts and other CS Surfers community members. answer to their messages, and keep them up date for any changes. They would refuse CS coach surfers in need just to respect their previous engagements if you accepted a coach offer make your best to respect it, or coordinate, and to update the CS Host. ๐ 3๏ธโฃ Let know a CS Host if you have some allergy for pets or foods, or not ok with sharing living spaces with other CS Surfers. We know most CS surfers do not read everything on our profiles. Avoid losing a coach, and someone else and opportunity of getting one coach that night. 4๏ธโฃ ๐ I can give you the keys of my bicycle if I don't use it, to visit the lakes or surrounding trails and castles around my place, or if you want to ride in Paris you can with the RER. BUT I only recommended to expert cyclers that have European Drivers licenses. City center it is dangerous to ride if you are not use to ride on streets and roads with buses, motorcycles and cars passing close next to you, and tourists jay crossing streets 360 degrees around you ignoring the existence of any kind of signal street or pedestrian rules. I see often Americans, or Non driver cyclers going on sense invers in the middle of a 4 lane boulevard or stoping in the middle of a crossroad miss confusing a street light. 5๏ธโฃ Use the CS REQUEST and OFFER Couch feature to enclose the formalities. CS Host in France - Specially Who Also are Civil Servants with Civil Liability have legal obligation to ask for identification, and collect and retain identity information from foreign guests in Franceโincluding in รle-de-France and Parisโis clearly established in the Code de l'entrรฉe et du sรฉjour des รฉtrangers et du droit d'asile (CESEDA ) A photocopy of your ID or HD photo should be enough. I provide an extra copy to my guests for his own security. FOR Emergency CS surfers with stolen documents there is another protocol to be done at a police station and with his consulate in Paris. Also we should not host minors without their Parents be with them, so IDs would be request for french citizens too. The new Digital ID for France is possible to have it on your phone. No one should get out of home in France without his AMELI card, as a common sense too. If youโre traveling with someone, whoโs your companion? send his details for everyone safety and civil responsibilities to your CS Hosts. โ๏ธ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ You don't need to read the rest of my profile but it will be useful for your trip ;) โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ Some tips (NO AI, the source is a CS ambassador that wrote them, with few of my additions) ๐๏ธ Free museums & National Monuments: For EU students under 26y + Handicaps any country neecs certification or Handicaped ID translated to english or latin alphabet language inteagable to a french speaker+ every 1st Sunday of the month ๐ถโโ๏ธ Free-Walking-Tours: Book a free tour and tip them if you enjoyed โ https://t.ly/lTqq ๐ผ Eiffel Tower: Tickets/info โ https://t.ly/US4v_ ๐ผ๏ธ Louvre museum: Tickets (best schedule: Wed and Fri after 6 PM) โ https://t.ly/73hRN ๐๏ธ Paris museum pass: Worth it if you go to +4 museums โ https://www.parismuseumpass.fr/en ๐งณ Luggage storage: Store bags for 5โฌ/day โ https://stasher.com/ or also Bounce app ๐ฝ๏ธ Restaurant Discounts: 30/50% off with The Fork โ https://t.ly/KTjF ๐ Metro: Ask in the station for the best pass, it really depends which day/how long.
