CURRENT MISSION

World domination. If that doesn't go as planned, a bit of travel, relaxing, reading, music-festival-going and more studying.

ABOUT ME

Ugh, everything you can write here sounds a bit too self-congratulatory, but I guess you have to sell yourself right (Notice: I'm not for sale).

Mauricio was born in 1987, same year as Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". So, not THAT old. He was raised by a family of badgers after an unfortunate camping trip but has come through all expectations to become a thoroughly acceptable human being.

Mauricio currently feels independent, talkative (as said by some family members quite rudely), and inadequate because he doesn't know how to operate any video game (and other stuff about life).

PHILOSOPHY

Insert here a quote by Groucho Marx.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I meet up with anyone who wants to! But currently I can't host anyone due to housing policies [Half studentwerk, half my flatmates]

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much yet, stayed with a couple of lovely people, but I've mostly hanged out with some couchsurfers while they stay at friends' places.

Interests

Politics (I'm one of those liberal, democracy-defending, diversity-studying, almost out-of grad school type, I know)... And well, of course, human interaction and things humans do.

The Arts! Yes, that. All of them.
