CURRENT MISSION I am planning to sail around the world as much as I can ⛵️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you come, I will ask you to cook something for us and to organize the ingredients. (Even better if its something from your country)☀️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABOUT ME Currently living in Paris, I work as a nurse ( many hours a day ) but then when It comes to enjoy my free time… hard to catch me😋 I love sports ( surfing, skiing, going to the gym, yoga, dancing…), I am interested in art and eager to explore more of my potentiels in painting, drawing, playing music and more… In the other hand I also love travelling when I decide to take more days ( cause yes I make my own schedule, working only when I want/need to 🙈 ). My favorite hobby at the moment is watching old wooden boats restoring for hours… Is there anyone like me out there ? 😂 Other than that I’m trying to be better everyday, avoiding food wasting or anything else that can not be re-used ... PHILOSOPHY Never a failure always a lesson...

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 ✅ Source come from a Paris CS Ambassador with 100% positive references from 150+ travelers 1️⃣ Reminder: CS is not Tinder. 🙅🏻‍♂️ 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. 2️⃣ 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. 😄 3️⃣ 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. 4️⃣ 🔑 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. 5️⃣ 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 France—including in Île-de-France and Paris—is clearly established in the Code de l'entrée et du séjour des étrangers 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 you’re traveling with someone, who’s your companion? send his details for everyone safety and civil responsibilities to your CS Hosts. ⛑️ ✁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ You don't need to read the rest of my profile but it will be useful for your trip ;) ✁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 🆘 Some tips (NO AI, the source is a CS ambassador that wrote them, with few of my additions) 🏛️ 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 🚶‍♀️ Free-Walking-Tours: Book a free tour and tip them if you enjoyed → https://t.ly/lTqq 🗼 Eiffel Tower: Tickets/info → https://t.ly/US4v_ 🖼️ Louvre museum: Tickets (best schedule: Wed and Fri after 6 PM) → https://t.ly/73hRN 🎟️ Paris museum pass: Worth it if you go to +4 museums → https://www.parismuseumpass.fr/en 🧳 Luggage storage: Store bags for 5€/day → https://stasher.com/ or also Bounce app 🍽️ Restaurant Discounts: 30/50% off with The Fork → https://t.ly/KTjF 🚇 Metro: Ask in the station for the best pass, it really depends which day/how long.

I'm a TRICHSTER. Meaning: I suffer from a condition called TRICHOTILLOMANIA (you can just google it!) where I pull out my own beautiful hair. I've been dealing with this for quiet long, and it made me realize that life is silly and that we are what we didn't chose to be. So, let's spread empathy and love one towards the other (nobody knows what the other is dealing with :))! Cheatsheet 😉: 1- Please do not send a request too long before your trip (ideally 2 weeks or less before your expected arrival) 2- Read my home section 3- Only send a request if you're a cat lover (to have a good reference from my furry son Kebab as well)

After some studies in astrophysics, I decided to switch to music cause it's more fun. Слава Україні 🇺🇦 I will reply with pleasure to each PERSONNAL request. I'm not a free hostel : any generic/copy-paste request will get a copy-paste negative answer (don't be surprised !) with this link : https://www.reddit.com/r/couchsurfing/comments/4kvnoy/advice_on_how_to_write_a_good_couch_request/

CURRENTLY TRAVELLING. NOT ABLE TO HOST UNTIL AT LEAST OCTOBER. And people are in my flat so not able to share it :( This is my twelfth year in Paris and I still love this city. I am fond of my country and what I enjoy even more is sharing it with foreigners and giving them a good experience.

CURRENT MISSION Travelling and meeting awesome people: hang-out, chill, talk about culture, share some good moments! I can definetely say which country seems to be more friendly than others, just by sending messages to some potential hosts. ABOUT ME Relaxed guy here, enjoying life, happy, positive and energetic. The best to know a person correctly is real life so let's meet! PHILOSOPHY Serious, positive, always trying to act with intelligence

PHILOSOPHY A vida é o que fazemos dela. As viagens são os viajantes. O que vemos, não é o que vemos, senão o que somos. Life is what we make of it. The trips are the travelers themselves. What we see isn't what we see, but only what we are. Fernando Pessoa Enjoy while learning 🏊🏃🍳🥘🍲 ABOUT ME I like meeting people with different thoughts and beliefs and I enjoy learning languages, too. Passionate of cooking and trying new dishes. I go swimming/cycling/running or to the gym at least 5 times per week, as a way to keep my balance. I love animals, especially birds and nature in general.
