About Me

My philosophy: Do good without asking who deserves it. Leave the world a little brighter than when you arrived. Your legacy will be written not by who you were, but by the kindness you left behind.

I am a Venezuelan guy living in Rotterdam, NL. before I was living in Buenos Aires for almost 9 years. I got completely immerse in Argentina culture to the fact I still drinking Mates (kind of Infusion, also synonyms of sharing fraternity). So all of you people are welcome to drink if we meet.

Beside of it. I am a crazy guy for airplanes, there are not words who can describe what I feel when I flight. Loving cooking, it is my way to say welcome, to show you a peace of me and my culture. Love to spend time with family and friends.

I really values people and their culture and this is one of the main reason I have decided to be part of Couchsurfing because I love the cultural exchange.

Hope we have the opportunity to meet anytime or where the life takes us.

Hit me up to meet or make a picnic. Cheers and I wish you a safe journey on your trip 😬🤗

I am a Mate drinker 🧉❤️

P.S.: I do Have rabbits as pet, in case you are allergic to rabbits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe with all my heart in the beauty of human connection. Hosting for me is not a transaction, but a meeting of souls. We are shaped by what we give to others, so what I offer isn’t material. it’s time, kindness, and the joy of sharing, I hope you bring the same: honesty, openness and a sincere spirit.

P.S. My home is a temple of good energy. I welcome you with open arms and I hope your actions speak of the same warmth you carry in your heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most meaningful experiences in my life has been helping people facing homelessness and hardship by volunteering in the kitchen of a community dining hall, providing daily meals to those in need.

Volunteering:

I was honored to volunteer teaching graphic arts to orphaned children. Sharing skills that could inspire and empower them.

There is nothing more fulfilling or rewarding than giving back and making a positive difference in the lives of others. I am deeply grateful to the universe for the chance to do so.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d love to share with you my passions. Whether it’s graphic design, aviation, gastronomy, or hospitality.

What truly inspires me is learning from others. Every piece of knowledge, every idea you bring, will be met with an open heart and deep gratitude.

There’s a magic in meaningful conversations; they nourish my soul and play the sweetest melodies in my heart.

I have much to give, but even more to receive, from anyone willing to share their own wonderful gifts.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you stay, I’d love to take you cycling through the city streets, run alongside you in the fresh air, cook and laugh in the kitchen, share a picnic under the sun, wander into nearby towns, and lose ourselves in deep, meaningful conversation.
