About Me

I'm not an interesting person, and the lines after this one don't describe me properly, so you can stop reading here and read a book or something else (My references would be a good idea, but a book is way better). If you don't like books then try pizza, because pizza tastes better.

Well, I'm not really good with this whole 'About me' things but I'll try. I'm 34 years old / Hispanic/ Libertarian / Atheist / Free thinker. I lived in South Korea for five years while pursuing a PhD in Economics. That’s where my Couchsurfing experience started.

In 2020 I decided to move back to my hometown, Guatemala, and a year later I moved to Cape town, which is where I currently live. I would love to continue meeting interesting people from around the world.

If you want to know more about me let's have an interview in real life. If after the interview I get the job that would be great, of course. But really, let's meet, describing oneself doesn't really makes sense sometimes.

What objectivity and the study of Philosophy require is not an open mind, but an active mind, a mind able and eagerly willing to examine ideas, but to examine them critically. -Ayn Rand

It is not measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -Jiddu Krishnamurti

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people who can show me different ways of living and experiencing life.
