Compared to most people in the CS world I'm merely a newbie at traveling but I've had my share of experiences. After traveling on my own for several years, I realized I enjoy it 10X more when those experiences are shared. Then I remember I once heard of CS, why hadn't I started participating in this from the start???

Why I'm on Couchsurfing

New places are so much more than the touristy sight seeing spots. Of course I enjoy going to those places but the real meat in the bones of an international adventure is in seeing that city through the eyes of people who live there! Teaching things to people and learning from them is what really stays with you for life.

About

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC Classic metal, trip hop, edm, blues and the BSO any cool movie will make my day. MOVIES Terminator 2.... nuff said. xD I love post apocalyptic and dystopian stories. My favorite directors in no particular order would be Nolan, Snyder, Michael Bay, Robert Rodriguez, Cameron, Fincher. So yeah, action, explosions and a lot of heart and good characters. BOOKS Mostly non fiction. Biographies and entrepreneurship books are my daily fix. Arnold and Richard Branson's bios have got to be my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I've Done

When my language teaching company started booming I closed it. I realized that's not what I wanted to to for next 5 years. So I moved to Spain where I could grow as a filmmaker.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach photography, filmmaking and sometimes English. Mainly I love to hear stories, it's impressive what each of us has to go through in life, and there's a gazillion of us out there with untold crusades. Other than that I love to learn about business, film, and almost any business, I don't know why I find industry systems so fascinating.

What I Can Share With Hosts

Cool stories (man... my life was a telenovela for a short while), nice conversation, I take your portrait of you are into it, and fitness fads, have you heard about intermittent fasting? every time I mention it people look at me as if I was an alien.
