CURRENT MISSION

To discover and nourish all aspects of my being one friend at a time after six years of studying.

ABOUT ME

I am an openminded and funloving guy who is young at heart and enjoys being so. I enjoy other people's company, but I am also perfectly comfortable being on my own. I was a bit shy earlier in my life but I have completely shaken this off, humans are too interesting creatures to have reservations in interacting with them. I am an eager student of the College of Life and am always willing to learn and grow through experiences. I can have a bit of an odd streak as my friends will vouch for (you could also say I'm an out of the box thinker), but I think this is what makes me an interesting and likeable person.
I've studied Medicine, which is an important part of my life, but it doesn't define me and I try to be as broadly educated as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest. Be curious and willing to learn and great things will come your way. But at the same time work hard and don't expect any free-rides. Preserve your individuality, it's what sets you apart from the crowd and makes you a unique human being.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just recently subscribed to CS after some positive tales from travelcompanions I've met in the last month.
Love the concept and definitely plan on offering my couch after I get home from my current travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm looking forward to my first couchsurfing story, I'm sure it will be a good one.

Intereses

Medicine, hey it's my job after all!
Writing poetry (in English)
Watching Anime series and movies (Studio Ghibli).
Lord of the Rings, Star Wars: epic monomyths, inspiring me to live an epic life.
English Literature, in particular children's classics (nourish your inner child, he/she needs it) and victorian novels.
Travelling: both visiting new lands and meeting new people.
Playing the piano.
Besides the above, I'm pretty much interested in anything my curiosity leads me to.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I think the most amazing thing I've done untill now is climbing the Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. This was a personal victory upon myself (I wasn't always healthy in the past) and has shown me that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I know quite a lot about Medicine (e.g. travel medicine/vaccinations).

I am always willing to discuss history, art or poetry, and am interested in other people's opinions on these subjects.
