About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live in a tropical country where I can see the ocean every morning.

ABOUT ME

I am a natural-born traveler who believes that the key to life is living well by making friends, sharing and leaving the world on a better shape than it was when we found it.

PHILOSOPHY

"We shall never be younger!!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, life has now taken me from Barcelona to Sao Paulo to the US with a job that keeps me on the road quite a lot. But I might be able to give you a tip or two on your travels and, if in town, meet up for coffee or something. Just drop me a line.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been involved in CS for sometime now - my interest began when my brother sold me on the project. When I lived in Miami I was able to meet some local and visiting CS'rs and really enjoyed the experience. Then I relocated to Barcelona and met some other fellow travelers in the area every now and then. Now living in Sao Paulo, but have no couch available.

Interests

Wine, cooking, dancing (particularly Argentine tango), going out at nights, learning languages, pre-Colombian history, opera, theater, literature, visual arts in general, the beach... and smart girls.

Music, Movies, and Books

Very open. Some recent authors include: Tom Robbins, Luis Fernando Verissimo, Saramago, Noah Gordon, Hosseini, etc. Music: varies, but in general very open. I love Latin music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The will of life to go on and its beauty reflected in every aspect of it, from small to large. I am particularly fond of full-moons, sunrises and sunsets.

Teach, Learn, Share

A good conversation over a drink (or two, or three...), and a better understanding of fellow men (and women) through respectful sharing of ideas and cultures.
