About Me

Hi folks! I am a student maybe having my last long vacation in life. I've been just accepted in a PhD in Latin American Studies in the University of California, but fortunately my classes will start on September and I decided to accomplish some dreams till this time. So I will visit Mexico, Cuba, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and France, make a stop in Toulouse for studying French for one month, and then back to Peru to take some ayahuasca and to Brazil to prepare my move.
I hate writing about "what I am" cz I've never felt comfortable talking good things about myself. My main motivation in life is just try to be as human as possible. Human rights and equality of opportunities are the subjects I've been more concerned about, and I try to remind it in each little daily act.
I consider I am open-minded (I always see this expression in profiles of people that I don't consider so, so this concept is relative) and I've tried to make my guests feel at home.
I like good movies, theatre, photography, samba, capoeira... I love the subject that I study, specially south american indians culture. And I really love trekkings and enjoying the beach, that's what I've done most on the city I was living till one month ago (Florianópolis). But I also enjoy mountains, snow, waterfalls, museums, historical centers....
Ah... and maybe I am a good healthy-cooker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cause I don't like to be one more tourist and I don't want my guest to feel like one as well.
