About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking to share great moments and make new friends from all over the world. Sometimes I am the host, sometimes I am the surfer.

ABOUT ME

Easy going person. Sporty guy. Learning to play cello. Vegetarian. Willing to be in contact with people from different cultures. Lived in New Zealand and traveled some other countries too. Now I run my own company, so it is not that easy to travel as I did in the past, but the beautiful traveling experience can be kept by receiving new "friends" at home and, from time to time, escaping to new places.

Here I leave you some short videos of my city:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a good way to meet easy-going travelers. In my experience, I found a great person behind each of the travelers I hosted and from whom I learned something new.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Since I'm learning to play the cello, classical music became a pleasant option to my ears. Regardless I'm very open to music and specially enjoy discovering new sounds.

Movies:
I'm not a TV person but enjoy independent productions and british series.

Books:
Like reading about ethic, origin of religions, epistemology and logic, among other branches of philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been in the permanent dark winter of the North Pole chasing northern lights (aurora borealis)... what to say... just beyond any word!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
My language (if you need it), about my culture (if you are interested in) and showing around local places (if you like personalized tours).

Learn:
Whatever travelers may want to share with me.

Share:
Chilling moments, a happy environment and my friendship =)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice talks while chilling and drinking something, going out to bars, clubs, restaurants, walking the city or escaping to the mountains and lakes on weekends.
I'm a very open person and enjoy speaking about culture, religion, politics, etc. but most of all I truly enjoy listening about surfers' travelling experiences.
