👋 Hey there! I’m Iván, a tattoo artist specialized in black & grey realism (yes, I actually enjoy spending hours with a needle in my hand 😅). I’ve traveled through Asia, Latin America, and Europe, always looking to meet people, share stories, and get lost in places that don’t show up in travel guides. I love cooking —can’t promise it’ll always turn out perfect, but at least I know how to pair it with a good beer 🍻 or a strong coffee ☕ (depending on the time of the day and the mood of the conversation). I enjoy talking about pretty much everything: philosophy, society, deep random thoughts, or the craziest travel anecdotes. ( there are a lot ) 😅 I enjoy doing hiking, mountains, forests…but I love beaches too anywhere in nature is a nice spot 🌿. If you host me (or I host you), I’ll bring not only ink and stories, but also the will to cook together, share a beer, and talk until the sun comes up.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
For me, Couchsurfing is all about connection. I love meeting amazing people, sharing perspectives on life, and feeling like I have family in different corners of the world. Immersing myself in local culture and society —especially when it’s very different from my own— has always been a dream, and being part of it is an incredible experience. I truly enjoy helping others and sharing what I can, because I believe that’s the foundation of a good life and community.
Music, Movies, and Books
English: I love rap of practically all kinds. But I also like rock, R&B, some electronics even dubstep, well if it's a good song I don't care what genre it is But tote king is .... I love black cinema, but in general I really like movies and series I don't have a specific preference but if I have to choose a series I love years and years, black mirror, withe lottus .... And regarding reading I love the graphic novel, Maus is great!
