About Me

Valar Morghulis.

CURRENT MISSION

To be present in all continents of this world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a guy who likes to meet people from different countries. I like to travel a lot, watch movies a lot, and read once in a while.
I also like to know about leadership. I think one of the most powerful things is to be able to lead, and it can be for good (Christ, Buddah, Muhammad…) or for not as good (Hitler...)
I like anything that adds to my knowledge and keeps my integrity.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't regret the things I did that went wrong, but the things that I didn't do and could've done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I usually let people stay here, specially when they are in need of a place to rest or if they are looking for a job, a family reunion, but anyone is welcome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I usually volunteer at school to give housing to people who came from other schools to play in basket ball games.

Interests

I like to see everything that is around us, whether it is something created by God or by man or by the imagination.
I like to read Calvin and Hobbes, specially cause I used to have an stuffed animal that looks like Hobbes when I was a kid. Actually, I still have my stuffed animal, his name is Cobbes....yeah, I know...litttle childish but it brings good memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

If it entertains and I can have a good time, it's worth to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Temporal: Skydiving, Chat with a survivor of Holocaust
Spiritual: Knowing about God

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn from people in countries where there had been a lot of wars. I have had the blessing of living in countries where I have never seen a war. I admire those who live through such circumstances and survive.
