我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

It's amazing to have the possibility to make new friends from all over the world. I'm looking forward to listening to your story. I hope one day I will have my place in one cool area, so I can start giving back to people what it has been given to me after all of these years as a couch surfer and getting to know interesting people from all over the world.

兴趣

I want to learn how to program and how software and hardware work together in order for a computer to function.
I’m a very curious person and I like learning from different people and their experiences. In addition to that, I like listening to different point of view from mine. I like that because sometimes I get to see things with new eyes and see things that i tend to not pain attention to.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like listening to all types of music.
When I'm happy I like listening to anything that makes me move (Jazz, Latin music, Hip Hop, or electronic music).
When I cook I love listening to more vintage music ( Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and Gispy Kings,) especially when I make dinner or sometimes lunch.

My favorite movies are fight club, Django, the Wolf of Wall Street, coco and The Truman Show

My favorite books are 1984 by George Orwell, Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson and what money can't buy by Michael J. Sandel.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

During the summer of 2018, I planned to go to London for taking an English course, but unfortunately things didn't go as planned. For that reason, I decided to go to Spain to get a job. I ended up working for three months in Ibiza as a waiter. It was a beautiful and incredible experience. I worked hard, had a lot of fun, made many friends, and saw amazing places. I will never forget that experience!

The list of amazing things I have done over the years is getting longer and longer which is something I am proud of. Obviously, I have no intention to stop settling down any time soon.

I also got the chance to live and travel around the U.S.A for about 3 years. It has been one of the most amazing adventures of my life. I lived in New York City for 2 year and in San Francisco for 1 year. Both place have made me grow as a person and shaped the man I am today. I am very happy I had these experiences because I would not be where I am right now without them.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you some basics Bachata or Salsa moves.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

We could talk about any topic and I like learning so if you like talking you're lucky I'm a good listener! Throw at me as much knowledge as you can :)
If you are an explorer as I am, I'd like to know all about what you've found out about life so far. Maybe we could share out treasures (knowledge, advice, wisdom and so on)
If you have a passion or a hobby that you really enjoy, then I’d be more than happy to do that with you (like sports or some interesting activities that you do).

If one day you happened to go to Italy I'd be more than happy to be your guide around here.
