About Me

I am proud to be a South American, and I live with my beloved feline companion in the historic Old City of MVD. As a gay and celibate individual, I value every second of my time and utilize it for political advocacy. Nothing is more important to me than fighting for the rights and equality of marginalized communities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I actively participate in Couchsurfing by sharing not only my living space, but also my time and experiences with the community - and let's not forget cerveza! My couchsurfing experiences have been amazing, as I've learned so much from my hosts and have had the opportunity to surf in different locations around the world.

In addition to being a guest, I also enjoy hosting couchsurfers in my region and have found it to be a wonderful way to connect with like-minded travelers. The backpackers, in particular, have been a joy to welcome into my home and exchange stories with.

Overall, the couchsurfing spirit has imbued every person and place I've encountered in this amazing community. I feel grateful to be part of such a welcoming and adventurous group of people.

Interests

Firstly, I find urbanism fascinating. I am interested in the study of how cities are planned, designed and developed. I believe that good urban planning is crucial for creating livable, sustainable and equitable cities.

Another interest of mine is geography. I love learning about the physical and human features of different places around the world. Understanding the geography of a place can help me to appreciate its unique characteristics and also to grasp the challenges that it may face.

Cartography is another topic that I find interesting. I enjoy examining maps and analyzing their design, content and accuracy. I believe that maps can tell us a lot about a place and its people, and that they can also be an important tool for communicating information.

Another area that I am passionate about is unconventional architecture. I enjoy exploring innovative and unique building designs that challenge traditional concepts of space and form. I believe that unconventional architecture can inspire creativity and help to create truly remarkable buildings and spaces.

In addition to my interest in urbanism, geography, cartography and unconventional architecture, I am also interested in the development of artistic movements and the use of data for the common good. I believe that art can play an important role in shaping public perception and communicating important messages about social and environmental issues. I also believe that data can be a powerful tool for solving problems and improving quality of life for communities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

How about this: "Let's explore the rich flavors of Venezuela by preparing a delicious dish!" We can also add "Experience the diverse culture and traditions, while enjoying some of the world's best coffee. Take your time and savor the moment in a comfortable space."

What I Can Share with Hosts
