CURRENT MISSION

There are no strangers in this world - just friends you haven't met yet!

ABOUT ME

I travel as much as possible. I am pretty sincere with most people and will be honest with you if you want. I'm generally tactful and nonconfrontational.

I'm a traveler - I just happen to work between my traveling. I am also a cheesy tourist. I work an awful lot, and enjoy it. I am originally from Bogota Colombia, but just moved to upstate Valencia - Spain where I work as a freelancer in international trade. I worked several years in many international corporations and now I've decided to get my own finances. My girlfriend is from Spain so we decided to start our new life in this beautiful country.

My life is pretty much all about unplanned relaxing, I work tons, but I'm something of an expert at not working ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Relax, have fun, eat good food, see the world. The order can change but the message stays the same. Life is so much richer if you mix in good friends and good food, so make sure you have plenty of both

Music, Movies, and Books

Music plays an important part in my life and I listen to a broad range of stuff

In terms of TV, I am a drama nut - Lost, Heroes, documentaries, etc... But I usually catch in on the web somehow. No television connected to cable in this house...
Movie favorites include: Diarios de Motocicleta, The lord of the rings, The Violinist, The Wall, Perfect Killer etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel around South America by bus! It was an incredible trip!

Teach, Learn, Share

Be flexible with your guests and allow them room to breath.

Don't change your life/plans to accommodate.

Always be upfront with hosts on plans and intentions if you know them.
