About Me

I am living in Cuba since a while, it is always nice to host people with good vibes and hangout all together with my local friends in here. Please bring your positive energy with you and you are welcome to stay

Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going. I dont know where I am, I dont know where I am going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participated to help people whom will visit the countries that I am staying. When I was backpacking I met with amazing people from couchsurfing and I want to return the favor :) Travelers always have good vibes and they bring fun to where they go.

Interests

It will be nice if you can recommend me a song while sending a message :)

I am drawing portraits, if you have time and if you can share 1 hour for my drawing class with me that will be nice. It is difficult to find someone to draw for every class. You just need to stay 1 hour without moving and keeping your expression on your face stable :) I will be very thankful if you can help on this

PS : You can have a break every 15-20 min as well

I love taking photographs. I am trying to take photos from each city with the concept below
1-Kids that are just able to walk
2-Kids lying all over the streets crying/playing on the ground
3-A grandfather/mother holding his/her grandson/daughter
4-Mothers holding their kids
5-Small fisherman boats in quite places
6-Parks for kids with just 2 3 toys in small poor areas
7 - Fishermen cleaning the fishes that he caught

So far in every city I was able to take the photos with this concept and I want to create an album for South America.

I recently start drawing, I am trying to improve it, anyone who can give advises are welcome

I love meeting with local people and talk to them. I know that, it is not about the places that you are staying but it is about the people. I really enjoy talking about even politics or history with the local people and listen their countries from their own voice.
I remember the countries not with the places that I visited but with the people I met

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

every single day during my trip was amazing I will always remember it in the future. My special hike to Machu Pichu was extraordinary and how i met with shamans in Colombia was also amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning how to draw but I can also try to teach as much as I know. I love cooking and if you also love to cook you are welcome to use the kitchen. In cuba we don't have much ingredients so i hope you will take the challenge

What I Can Share with Hosts

Best thing in Cuba is the people, I can introduce you to my friends and you can enjoy life with locals.
