About Me

I love traveling. And these days travel represent for me three important interrelated things: nature, whether its just taking a leisurely walk, camping, hiking, skiing or surfing; meditation, yoga and self-growth; meeting like-minded people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Experience new ways of travelling, meeting cool people, having the feeling of having a home somewhere else.

Interests

Besides what has been already mention in the about me, I started a course in contemporary dance, in which we do some contact improvisation. This is REALLY cool!

But then again I also like a lot of other things. Cooking (specially healthy and/or spicy things), reading, music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Dostoyevsky, Cortazar, Borges, Kundera, Hurakami. Two favorite books are Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar and Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky.

On what I call the 'hippie world' I appreciate Osho and Krishnamurti, although the former was a bit crazy and seems to say bullshit from time to time, you can find some nice thoughts in him as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been up to the summit of a 6000 meter mountain.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a good listener, I like to cook, and I think honesty is important! I am selective in whom I ask to host me. I rather pay for a hotel than stay with someone with whom there couldn't be friendship.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, India, Indonesia, Laos, Peru, Thailand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Mexico, Switzerland
