ABOUT ME

I'm 29, I'm an easy going person who likes to learn and discover new things. I'm patient, open minded and willing to live new experiences. I'm a very respectfull and quiet person, but I like to laugh (very good for blood pressure) and kidding around as long as it doesn't bother other people. I love cooking but I'm not very specialized at this (Lasagna and pizzas only)

PHILOSOPHY

The world keeps changing, why shouldn't I?
Reinvent yourself day by day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm still a novice. I only went to CS events I didn't host someone yet or used someone's couch.

Interests

I'm a couch potato, I'm very fond of movies, TV shows, cartoons and videogames. But on the other hand I also like hiking, gardening or taking long walks with no directions, specially in big cities. My other passion is music of any kind. I play guitar since high school where I used to play in a punk rock band with some friends and recently I try to learn piano with some tutorials available on the net. I like to meet new people and discovering different cultures because it helps me to discover myself (haha that last part sound kinda cheesy doesn't it?). I would love to speak as languages as I could because it helps a lot to know people if there is no language barrier.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling across Europe hitch hiking with a friend of mine was a nice experience, we met a lot of friendly people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach Spanish or French but not as well as a certified teacher but I love my languages and foreign ones. I'm always eager to learn new ones, right now I'm into Japanese and Spanish sign language.
