CURRENT MISSION

To connect with as many people from the globe as possible.

ABOUT ME

I think I am as normal as anyone else in this site. I am a parent and very young at heart. I am Mexican, although I considered myself a citizen of the world. I am a romantic and a complete bohemian. I write, I paint, I take pictures, I love cooking, I play several musical instruments by ear. I am very open minded and accept all types of friends regardless their age, sexual preference, race or political views. I believe in respect for all human beings.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that all religions and philosophies are like an orange cut in half. All pieces point to the center, although they are unique and different, all of them belong to the same unit. I like to grasp the best of each world.
I live my life as if today was the last day. I don't say no to anything until I have tried it. If it fits me I stick to it. If it doesn't I just say nice meeting you, good bye. Not religious but very spiritual.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think that opening the doors of my house to other travelers is a way of contributing with the growth of this community.

Interests

I am interested in ALL types of world music. From Indian Tabla to Spanish Flamenco from Cuban Son to French Jazz, from Mexican Folk to Tibetan Chants. I also like photography, sketching and watercolors. Cooking is one of my passions. I can cook Mexican Food, Japanese Sushi, Italian pasta and antipasti and a couple of French dishes. I like meditation, yoga and everything that enters the mysteries of the mind.

Music, Movies, and Books

Humberto Eco, José Saramago, Italo Calvino, Gabriel García Marques, Carlos Castaneda, Paolo Coello and OSHO are some of my favorite writers and gurus. I love independent films. Specially those who deal with unexpected encounters of people who belong to complete different worlds. Heartsutra, Bob Marley, Manu Chao, U2, Radio Tarifa, Gorilaz, Ojos de Brujo, Santana, Miles Davis and Chambao play constantly in my iPod.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Besides becoming a parent, which I considered my most creative event so far. I keep in my heart the time I spend in Seville, Spain hanging out with a Gypsy community and the Berebere community in the Morocco desert.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am professionally trained to stimulate people's creativity. I have worked as a consultant for big corporations as well as a personal couch for musicians, writers, poets, painters and dancers. I believe everybody can be creative. I cannot teach you how to be a creative person but I can stimulate the creativity that is already within you.
