CURRENT MISSION

I love to travel. I am a philosophy and history professor. Anyway, I manage to save time to keep traveling, discovering my city and sharing time with travelers.

I have a blues-swing band, Hipnosaurios. I dance salsa and swing.

ABOUT ME

I am a calmed person, open minded and comprehensive. I would say that prudence is one of my virtues.

I like to know the places hidden or ignored by tourism. I think that there is where real life and people are taking place.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a neverending learning process.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was received three times in Holland by three different people and I have received dozens of travelers in my house in Colombia and now in Los Angeles. Really nice experiences. I have also used the "Hang Out" feature several times, specially in Spain.
