About Me

it is very hard to describe oneself and echoing Alan Watts "Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth"

Will do my best:
My friends define me as a smiley person, first principle thinker, considerate, critical thinker & attentive listener.
I gravitate towards exploring new places, meeting new people and experiencing their culture as much as possible.

Life motto:
"Travel often,
dream big,
be responsible,
take risks,
stay humble”

Actions are expression of value

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It provides an opportunity to learn and share our experiences, culture, food, life perspective, language, music, sport, hobbies, values... everything.
CS for me resonates with the pay it forward mentality,

AND to pass the MESSAGE by:
- Taking Absolute Individual Responsibility
- Not taking obligations one cannot maintain

Interests

Travel is the only thing one can buy that makes one richer and I'm genuinely curious to meet new people, sharing stories and constantly expanding my comfort zone.

This quote sums up how i perceive life
"It’s better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way" AW

I'm active basketball player playing in a local basketball league, i consider myself an avid cook that enjoys trying new cuisines and ofc eating a lot of spicy food :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy watching/listening/reading/learning from Alan Watts, Marcus Aurelius, Carl Jung, Nikola Tesla, Seneca.

I'm fascinated by the Austrian School and the works of Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard Friedrich Hayek continue to have a deep impact in my life along with the Spanish Scholastics.

Some of my fav reads:
The sovereign Individual, The price of Tomorrow by Jeff Booth, 1984 by George Orwell, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, The Denial of Death, Animal Farm, Ikigai, The 4/5th Agreements, Brave New World, Deep Nutrition, Human Action

I dance to anything that has a beat, test me! House, electro, lounge music, Jazz, anything with Saxo
And my latino roots are tied to salsa, cumbias, musica en espanol, sonora dinamita, etc..)

Anime fan and it's philosophy (Attack on Titan, Dragon Ball/Z/Super)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Normally i do not cling on the past achievements nor accomplishments but rather i look forward to do more amazing things where one can continue to experience in life.

Teach, Learn, Share
