About Me

I am a traveler, I like and respect diversity, I love to experiment as if I was a local, I love to get to know the culture of the place I am visiting, its music, fashion, party, gastronomy, it's people ... I love photographies, they are my memories ...
Music is an easygoing thing for me, especially playing instruments but I never had the discipline to take a full course.

Soy viajera, me gusta y respeto la diversidad, me encanta experimentar como si fuera local, me encanta conocer la cultura del lugar que visito, su música, moda, fiesta, gastronomía, su gente... Me encantan las fotografías, son mis recuerdos...
La música es algo fácil para mí, sobre todo tocar instrumentos, pero nunca tuve la disciplina para hacer un curso completo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel it's a community where I fit, we all travel and share the traveling knowhow and secrets, I am a fan of giving helping out my friends and acquaintances with tips, such as: do not take dollars to Cuba, it's better if you take euros because the rate will favor you ... Eat pink dragonfruit in the Dominican Republic, or I'll just help you out to get your american visa (no charge)...
I travel because I believe in a collaborative society, because I know that everywhere there are people willing to help and that they know that the balance of life will be the best reward.

Siento que es una comunidad en la que encajo, donde todos viajamos y compartimos en knowhow viajero, soy fan de dar tips viajeros a mis amigos y conocidos, tipo no lleves dólares a Cuba, sino euros porque la tasa te va a favorecer... come pink dragonfruit en República Dominicana, yo te ayudo a hacer los trámites de la visa gringa y no te cobro...
Viajo porque creo en una sociedad colaborativa, porque sé que en todas partes hay gente dispuesta a ayudar y que sabe que el equilibrio de la vida será la mejor recompensa.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stop being an extreme consumist to try to lead a minimalist life.I have always wanted to hitchhike or backpacking, hopefully this or the other year I can put those here!

Dejar de ser consumista en extremo a tratar de llevar una vida minimalista.

Teach, Learn, Share

Transmitting knowledge as oral tradition is magical, more if it is acquired empirically.

I love language and cultural exchanges.

Transmitir el conocimiento como tradición oral es mágico, más si es adquirido empíricamente.
