CURRENT MISSION

Visit more places, know other cultures, make new friends

ABOUT ME

I'm calm and a bit quiet. I think I'm a kind of flaneur, I love taking pictures in the cities, the architecture, the people and other interesting things.

I love talking about different artistic formats: like painting, sculpture, photography even more like the mixture of these creations. I love to talk about movies, in college or in a bar table.

I do not refuse a coffee and a conversation with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe it is important to go beyond an ordinary life (work, studies and other things). We need to get out of the routine and experience other ways of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I take the CS as a guest or as a host. I have not done a lot of traveling but I intend to do them so I'm participating in the network, for I see as a way to meet people with different cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted some people in my home, it was good a experience, manly with the foreing people, with french guys, with an american girl and two argentines.

I´d like to travel more and now I'm planning a big trip around Latin America.

Interests

I'm interested in friendship, flaneur, coffee, languages, photography, cinema, documentary audiovisual, architecture, electronic art, locative media, literature, theater, good music, art in general and being in contact with nature.
