Groups I Belong ToCouch Information Couch Available: Coffee or a drink Preferred Gender: AnyMy house is too small and I don't have a comfortable couch to receive guests (I'd be very ashamed about it), but I can help you find a couch if you really need it (I know some CS'ers that can help you) I can be a tour guide and show people around my city with my dad's car if it's available. Maracaibo has many interesting uncommon places to go, public transportation is not very good here, but cabs are very cheap and they can take you everywhere, I can be available when off at work and college...

Personal DescriptionWell I'm a very quiet and thoughtful guy, with many things around my head, and a lot of goals to achieve, and I do my things my own way even if it's not the best way but if it's the way that makes me feel good ;) ... Just get to know me a little bit more, I think I'm not very good at describing myself... I'm a very open-minded and easygoing person, I get along with anyone anywhere anyhow. I don't know what a problem is, I just avoid them by looking for a positive solution, because there's no other way to get rid of them ... I *almost* always have something in mind to talk about...How I Participate in CSBy helping any traveler... Please, if you're coming to Maracaibo LET ME KNOW, I can definetely show you around the most historical and important places here, or just whatever you're interested in... When I travel I like to prepare Venezuelan food..CouchSurfing ExperienceAfter trying CS for the first time, I decided I just want to be a CS'er for the rest of my entire life...!!! It's just unbelievable all of the things you can learn from other cultures, it just opens your mind to do many other things in your life... I've been spreading the CS culture little by little in this city by letting every single person know how unforgettable experiences can become if you let them happen... See this video I made and you'll see a little bit of what I mean: animoto.com/play/OrKbBMzfKywNJ3UZV1j0PgInterestsMath, TV, POP/dance/electronic music, computers, physics, meeting new people, internet, Twitter, Tumblr, movies, music, concerts, technology, H&M, trips, gadgets, UrbanOutfitters, nature, good food, new cultures, Forever21, uncommon cultures, crazy cultures, good sense of humor, sitcoms...PhilosophyLife is a journey, it's wonderful and so is living it... If you really want something DIFFERENT, you have to start DOING something different...! Otherwise you'll be the same forever... If you want it, you already got it (by Madonna)Music, Movies, BooksI don't read too much, but my favorite book ever is THE SECRET by Rhonda Byrne, because somehow I've learned how to use "the secret" hehe, I read engineering and technology magazines, like Popular Mechanics, and I read bunch of online feeds in thousands of blogs I follow. In music I just listen to what's on the radio and many Podcasts. To go partying I love all kind of electronic and dance or pop music, it's good to jump =DTypes of People I enjoyEasygoing people, open-minded, nice, people who like to share, honest, simple, FUN, friendly, adventurers, dared-ones, travelers, talkatives, geeks, nerds, pop culture lovers, indies, uncommon, world care takers, and simmilar qualities..Teach, Learn, ShareWhat's on my mind I can let it come out for other people, I try to be the most helpful guy I can, it makes me feel good... The universe returns favors to me in other ways.Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org ProjectI can say CS is the BEST community I've ever been to, a small window to share with many wonderful people... This site has helped me find many friends around the world, I just won't stop...Locations TraveledTRAVELED: Aruba, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States WANTS TO GO: Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Spain, Thailand, United Arab Emirates IS GOING TO: United States References
From Verónica Rivera Maracaibo, Venezuela Oct 6, 2009 Positive we met on my 19th birthday, that happens to be a CS meeting and then we keep contact through some tumblr/twitter meetings on our city. He's a very interesting guy once you get to talk with him and I really enjoy knowing about his travelling lifestyle.
From VIAJEROBUENOSAIRES Ushuaia, Argentina Mar 17, 2009 Positive En la Vereda del Lago de Maracaibo, nos conocimos con Gustavo.
Pasamos una tarde realmente muy buena al borde del lago, tomando unos mates y charlando entre todos los couchs presentes de diferentes costumbres, viajes y risas entre otras cosas.
Muchisimas gracias por venir y por compartir un poco de nuestras costumbres argentinas entre todos los presentes, realmente es muy agradable y recomfortante realizar encuentros en los cuales asistan personas como él, la próxima oportunidad será quizas para un " asadito " o nuevamente alguna mateada. Un gusto para mi conocerte y bienvenido cuando gustes a Buenos Aires!
From Grace Payne Caracas, Venezuela Dec 24, 2008 Positive Part of the CS Maracaibo massive that looked after me so well in my time there. A laid back guy with a passion for viagra (the vinagary mango snack!) Thanks to him and his friends I had a fun time in Mcaibo.

From John C. London, United Kingdom Aug 18, 2008 Positive Gustavo has a talent for getting lost but always finds his way ;) Admirable perseverance, happiness, a smile that comes from somewhere deep inside, a great character and very friendly guy.

From Damien Busset Lausanne, Switzerland Aug 17, 2008 Positive After having met his friends in Maracaibo, I can finally meet him and even host him! I had a lot of fun going out with him and other friends in Lausanne!
I hope that next time in Maracaibo, you will show me good places and party until dawn :-)
From JD Tucker Corpus Christi, United States Aug 16, 2008 Positive Gustavo! Had such a great time with Gustavo the first time that he came back for seconds! Really nice guy. We went out to a couple parties in London and saw The Dark Knight together, he even helped Liliana make Arepas! (dont know if I spelled that correctly). Hopefully I'll see him in Venezuela sometime in the future.

From SNUGGLER London, United Kingdom Aug 1, 2008 Positive Gustavo was really worth meeting - anyone that likes Charlie Chaplin must be! We did the Tower of London together and I liked everything about this guy; cool, interesting, funny and a great photographer! We then had drinks in the pub and I started to feel he was my brother; this was before I was given Venezuelan chocolate, jejeje. See you soon bro!
UPDATE
We met up again in Venezuela and he is a fun guy, always laughing and stealing stuff from supermarkets (oh sorry, that last bit was about me!)

From Roger Torres Cabimas, Venezuela Jul 8, 2008 Positive Tavo (as we call him) is a quiet guy who never misses a CS meeting. He always says YES even when he has to work. Tavo seems to be the kind of person who you can speak about everything with. We have a lot of coming CS meetings to share and get to know us better.
From Lisa Arnold Winterthur, Switzerland Jul 8, 2008 Positive Wow,what a great time you made us have in your huuuuge city! well, I think to write down here all the positive things I could say about gustavo takes far to much space here. Just go to this city and hang out with a great group of couchsurfing. Gustavo is very active and makes you feel like in paradise, even though he slept for only an hour or skiped it completely. He always smiles and makes you feel comfortable and sure in this wide world ;) Sure you're welcome on my couch!!!!!! (as soon as I'm back...)
