About Me

UPDATE April 2024: I’m just settling down in a new place, therefore not able to host that soon but likely accepting requests for Mid May onwards.

If you are looking at my profile hoping to be hosted, I strongly recommend you to read and understand this blog: https://brenontheroad.com/couchsurfing-101/

I'm a humble and home-living guy, I could be shy at the beginning perhaps. I have few friends but it doesn't mean I'm not able to socialize easily. This is why I love travelling, because it forces you to interact with people out of your "mother" environment, which is rewarding as you can learn at the same time that you are giving something back to people. I like pets (specially cats), and I've joined hiking groups in the cities where I've lived.

Me considero una persona sencilla, algo timido tal vez, hogareño, de pocos amigos pero sin problemas de socializar, tal vez por eso me gusta viajar porque te obliga a interactuar con otras personas fuera de tu ambiente "materno", lo cual es enriquecedor porque puedes aprender a la par de brindar algo de ti a las demas personas. Me gustan las mascotas (en especial los gatos), pertenezco a un grupo de caminantes ecológicos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel, and experience the whole world with the support of nice couchsurfers who are willing to give you guidance and stay. My idea is also to give back by providing advice and support to the foreigners and travellers in general.

Quiero viajar y conocer el mundo entero con la colaboración de las agradables personas que tienen la disposición de brindarte orientación y hospedaje. La idea es también retribuir también ofreciendo la orientación a los foráneos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to the Amazon three times, and I've been to Africa another three times too. Every one of these experiences has been unique.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you to learn Spanish, don't worry about your speaking level, I'll support you cause I understand the process to learn a second language.

I want all the adventurous people and backpackers to be my mentors about travelling.

I'm not a good cook, but I can help you with the washing-up and the clean-up.
