👋 Hey there! I’m Iván, a tattoo artist specialized in black & grey realism (yes, I actually enjoy spending hours with a needle in my hand 😅).

I’ve traveled through Asia, Latin America, and Europe,
always looking to meet people, share stories, and get lost in places that don’t show up in travel guides.

I love cooking —can’t promise it’ll always turn out perfect, but at least I know how to pair it with a good beer 🍻 or a strong coffee ☕ (depending on the time of the day and the mood of the conversation).

I enjoy talking about pretty much everything: philosophy, society, deep random thoughts, or the craziest travel anecdotes. ( there are a lot ) 😅

I enjoy doing hiking, mountains, forests…but I love beaches too anywhere in nature is a nice spot 🌿.

If you host me (or I host you), I’ll bring not only ink and stories, but also the will to cook together, share a beer, and talk until the sun comes up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, Couchsurfing is all about connection. I love meeting amazing people, sharing perspectives on life, and feeling like I have family in different corners of the world.

Immersing myself in local culture and society —especially when it’s very different from my own— has always been a dream, and being part of it is an incredible experience.

I truly enjoy helping others and sharing what I can, because I believe that’s the foundation of a good life and community.
