Hi! I’m Rolando (you can call me Rolo). I’m passionate about architecture, photography, and languages. I love being in nature, listening to good music, and connecting with people from all walks of life.
Meeting people and learning about their cultures and traditions through real, human interactions is what I enjoy the most. I believe every person has a story worth hearing.

I recently moved to Utah, and I’m currently exploring its breathtaking national parks while growing in my career. If you love hikes, good conversations, or spontaneous adventures — we’ll get along well.

Always curious, always learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is something special — a community of kind, curious, and open-hearted people. I love how it brings together strangers who quickly become friends.
I’m here to share experiences, connect through culture, and create memories in places I would never find in a guidebook.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

• Walked barefoot on fire (yes, real fire!)
• Hiked Tajumulco, the second-highest volcano in Central America — an unforgettable, sacred experience
• Served as a missionary in Costa Rica for 2 years, which completely changed my perspective on life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a photographer and graphic designer — happy to share my skills, take portraits, or give tips on visual storytelling.
I’d love to learn more about your language, cooking style, travel experiences, or even just your life philosophy. Sharing ideas and stories is one of the best parts of traveling.

Languages:
🇺🇸 English | 🇪🇸 Spanish | 🇧🇷 Learning Portuguese | 🇯🇵 Learning Japanese.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Genuine friendship, meaningful conversations, and a positive attitude.
I’m clean, respectful, and always up for helping out — whether that means cooking together, going on a hike, or just sharing stories over tea or wine.
You’ll also probably leave with a nice photo or two ;)
