CURRENT MISSION

To live and learn... and above all enjoy the process.... (meeting new people is definitly an important part of this!)

ABOUT ME

Well... I just finished graduate school in ecology... Love nature in all of it's aspects... I try to balance out my life with physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually challenging activities! I'm quite calm natured, and love to engage myself in interesting conversations, and to listen as well...
Not quite sure what else to say, besides:
Let us enjoy the journey of life and not worry so much about the destination per se...

PHILOSOPHY

To grow as a person, and help others in the process... to learn with everyone I get in contact with... and not to be afraid to live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is a great network! I've met some really nice and interesting people! I've had both the opportunity to be a guest and host, and just meet up for coffee... All great experiences I want to continue to have for many more years!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed once in Copenhagen! Loved it! Great experience! I've also had the opportunity to host some people and show them around town!

Interests

So many... love all type of arts! mostly painting and graphic arts! Love to watch movies (mainly international non-hollywoodish). Love to read... (I've been trying to tackle some classics) really enjoy eastern philosophy...
And on the more physical side, I'm really in to rock climbing, hiking, camping, swimming, and basically any thing outdoors... I also truelly enjoy to watch a good football (soccer) match!! Visca el Barça!
