About Me

CURRENT MISSION

anything to do with living intensely

ABOUT ME

I believe actions speak for themselves / Las acciones hablan por sí solas.

I have made up my mind to become as uncomplicated and undemanding for most of my life. Life's opportunities are often encountered when the right amount of preparedness (yes, discipline) and looseness is put together.

Perdonen que la gran parte de mi perfil está en inglés, viví­ mucho tiempo por fuera.

PHILOSOPHY

La maña.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to enhance this experience for other people teaching good old colombian warmth. Already made a donation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have almost always been a host! Someone please help introduce me to the basics of surfing.

Interests

Photography, music (electronic, experimental, classic, salsa... the whole lot), enduro racing (I used to race, but had an accident), documentary, social sciences, the humanities, and anything that makes me want to know how and why it ticks.

Music, Movies, and Books

Henry Miller's books are awesome. Among many other authors, of course.

"Aguirre, the wrath of God", "Koyaanisqatsi", "Pierrot le fou", "Bladerunner", "Dr. Strangelove", and "Fight Club" will be my lifelong cinematic obsessions.

And all music is great, by far those types that have little regard for form and content by making the commonplaces of hearing implode upon themselves. By this I mean, music must experiment in order to become music. For the new dubbed glories of creative sonorous nomadism are what give music its reason and resonance.
