UPDATE:
Digital nomad adventures had to be aborted due to pandemic back in 2020 and unsure when could resume. In the meantime I may start hosting again to keep the spirit alive! Playing it by ear as usual...

CURRENT MISSION

Don't have a mission per se. Just a passion for travel and getting to know the world when I get the chance.
That, and secret world-conquering megalomaniac delusions of grandeur. Hard to tell from my photos, I know. 🙂

ABOUT ME

Extrovertable introvert.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is relative and circumstantial. Everything.
I'm deep like that...

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Joined the site many years ago but never actually used it then. That has since changed and I became an avid host albeit not many hosting me (what gives??). Hostels have been fun, but I now prefer to try meeting locals directly and having more personal in-depth experiences as well as meeting visitors to my home town too. I do need some time alone here and there, so I just mix it up as I go.

Hosting is a way to still feel connected to the rest of the world while I am not traveling myself. So its like non-traveling-travel in a way. You know what I mean...

My schedule is very irregular so I'm unpredictably available. Thus, can rarely entertain requests too far in advance (more than 2-3 weeks) as I will not know what my plans are. So keep that in mind. Similarly, I'll entertain last minute requests if possible, but probably less likely to accept. Still, feel free to ask; you never know... Naturally, I reject more people than I accept since I can't host THAT often and I do get A LOT of requests (yeah, people think I'm pretty cool I guess). It will help you to craft a thoughtful request message over something generic as well as having a well filled out profile. NOTE: your chances of me hosting you drop significantly if all you are looking for is a free place to crash. I'm doing this for our mutual experience, not to save you money.

I will ignore/reject friend requests if we have not met in person yet.

I am not a big planner when I travel, I like to play it by ear, so my hosting requests may often be last minute and I understand this may not work out for many hosts. But hoping some are as flexible as myself and want to meet a nice guy as myself. 🙂

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already have couch surfed at many friends' houses and many others come stay at mine. This is just a natural extension of that with the bonus of meeting new people. I have been hosting many in my home and plan to keep doing so (read my references), but hoping to get some more hosts to let me in their homes during my travels.

Zainteresowania

It's a long list. All the usual suspects: technology, music, philosophy, science, sports, reading, board games, painting, travel, eating food, cooking food, etc. I'm a bit of everything.
For sports I play volleyball, soccer, tennis, golf, bowling, amongst the most common. But I'll play pretty much anything. I can be a bit competitive but at a healthy level, hehe.
I play guitar in a band. I'm not super good, but decent enough to entertain friends at our shows.
Yet world travel and meeting new people is always up in the list of things I love to do.

• cooking
• technology

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

I wake up every morning and BOOM... amazing happens. I can't help it. :)
But seriously, recurrent world traveling is probably on top of the list of most amazing things I do.
Oh, also people seem to love my guasacaca. Look it up.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

I used to coach volleyball so I wouldn't mind at all to teach you if you have any interest, altho that would rarely casually just happen on a short traveling visit I'd imagine...

I have been doing for a while a hobby of acrylic pour painting so I can show you what that is all about. Fun and relaxing experience.

While not too talented, I do play some guitar so I can also offer to teach some basics.

As a native Spanish speaker I can accommodate if you want to learn a few words or practice your Spanish.

I am well versed on cryptocurrencies if you'd like to learn and/or understand more, I am happy to explain. Ask away!

Learning about people's every day lives in different cities is quite fascinating to me albeit sounding mundane. I am curious and like projecting and imagining how my life would be if I lived at each place I visited, or just having different professions. Best way to get that feeling is to live it vicariously through those I meet. I can always use the internet to learn about history and general destination information; but only through those who live locally can you get the "real" picture of what life elsewhere is like.

Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami

I like to cook when not feeling lazy, so I'm happy to offer to prepare meals while sharing stories. Also more than happy to go out and share what the culinary world on the streets has to offer.

Talking about any topic at any lengths and depth is not outside my purview, so always enjoy diving into conversation with my hosts and/or guests. It is part of the fun of meeting new people and learning different perspectives.

Always happy to explore the town or destinations with hosts if they are up for it and enjoy the company, but can just do my own thing too. I understand as a host you can only see and do some local things so many times. :)

Also happy to offer reciprocal hosting if you were to visit Boston.
