About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Setting off a Riot of silent meditation

ABOUT ME

I think we´ve got a body to use it...So, I like sports such as futbol, yes, soccer. and i also enjoy brain teasers, so i study the sciences and physics of water. however, a glass of wine and good company is really all i could ask for in life.Creo que tenemos un cuerpo para usarlo...Así que me gusta deportes como fútbol, pero también me gusta escribir y estudiar las ciencias y la situación politica del agua (estudié hidrología y recursos naturales en colegio)...sin embargo, un vaso de vino y una buena charla con buena gente is todo lo que puedo pedir en mi vida.

PHILOSOPHY

Things can get complicated, confusing, and hard to solve easily, creating uneccessary tension...So be honest, open, and simple in reasoning with others and yourself.Las cosas se pueden volver complcadas, confusas, y difíciles para resolver, creando tensiónes inecessarias...Sé honesto, abierto, y sencillo en el razonamiento con otros y tu mismo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have participated in CS a bit while biking across the continent and plan to meet interesting folks while travelling throughout S. America...When I lived at a cooperative, we use to have some couch surfers stay, and they were always fun to hang out with.He participado en CS un poco cuando estuve atravesando el continente y espero conocer personas interesantes mientras viajando por el sur de America...Cuando vivía en una cooperativo, un hogar que se mantenîa con la ayuda y cooperación de estudiantes, tuvimos mucha gente de CS que se quedó, y siempre fue una muy buena experiencia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I couch surfed was during a bicycle trip from Austin, TX to Anchorage, Alaska. We stopped in the middle of nowhere somewehere in Arizona and at a house in SanFrancisco. They were both great pit stops and I was able to explore each respective area with the host...I can't wait to continue meeting people through couch surfing, and to also learn about different cultures, foods, and lifestyles.La primera vez que usé CS, fue durante un viaje en bicicleta desde Austin, TX hasa Achorage, Alaska...Paramos en el medio de la nada en Arizona, y tambien en una casa en San Francisco...Ambas fueron paradas buenisimas y tuve la suerte de explorar cada areá respectiva con la anfitrión...Tengo muchas ganas de continuar conociendo gente por CS...Espero aprender de más culturas, modos de vida, comida, ect. con mis viajes con CS.
