CURRENT MISSION

to begin my life on the road

ABOUT ME

I love people, both of flesh and of paper (no matter how hard the world has tried to make me a misanthrope, I can't eliminate my urge to share with and know and understand new people all the time and form true bonds). I am a fun person, but I like quality experiences, strange places, good music, talking and going crazy. I can be quiet and respectful of people's space as well, I always wait for signs and responses to let me in, I pick up well on hints. I am very imaginative and love creative people, so I can sometimes come across as very intense but I try to control it, and can even come across as shy if I don't feel I'm in the appropriate place to be completely myself. I love to read, and I write since I was little. I love talking about what I read and am guilty of indulging in philosophical discussions at even casual moments. What I value most, however, in any person, is sense of humor. I laugh easily and very intensely. I guess I can talk plenty about myself because this entry is getting long, but it's also because I don't know precisely how to present myself. I'm very open and want to become an active member of this project because I believe in it, and I believe there are people out there waiting to meet me and that I've also been waiting to meet.

PHILOSOPHY

No personal philosophy can be reduced to an entry on a profile page.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All the things I have done/seen travelling have made me feel alive and amazed at the richness of it. Also, the moments shared with the people I love most, moments of ecstasy and of shared tears, are the things I value the most

Teach, Learn, Share

I know Spanish and could help anyone who is trying to learn practice their skills. I really enjoy doing yoga, and I have a playlist filled with Indian music and mantras so we could have a good time practicing yoga. I am also always ready to talk about and recommend books.
