About Me

CURRENT MISSION

joy

ABOUT ME

My current location is in Saavedra, a quiet neighborhood in Buenos Aires.
I guess I am mostly a humanities student (made some years of philosophy, some of theater, now I'm on literature) and an actor aand theater trainer.
I speak spanish, english; can hold a conversation in portugese, german, italian; could manage to communicate in french; and will make an effort to understand and make myself understandable with whomever through signals, acting, pictures, drawings, whatever is needed.
So far, my life has been intense and enjoyable.

PHILOSOPHY

oh!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's quite simple: I would like to shelter people, get couches overseas and share as much as i can. I like travelling a lot, but consider that common tourism (hotels, shopping, take-photo-and-run-away) pollutes places and is usually far from connecting people. I receipt many people before entering CS, both friends from Argentina and foreigners, when I lived in San Telmo (btw. 2005 and 2009), and stood at many friend's places in europe, brasil and uruguay. Since I'm into this, I had very well experiences, both surfing and hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, absolutely great :·]]

Interests

Music, cinema, theater, painting and sculpture, architecture, dance. Party. Thought. Philosophy, history, literature, anthropology, sociology, semiotics, linguistics. Strange ways of human and not human life. Popular arts and manifestations -except for most of television stuff and it's subproducts (some I like, for example the monty pythons, mad men, many I don't). Afterlife. Comedy. Politics, seen not from fanatic nor absolute but from relativistic and cynical points of view. Paradoxes. Improvisation. Cycling. Although I understand very little, mathematics in the deepest sense of the word. Reiki. Nature. Stormy nights. Jungles and forests. Transcendental meditation. Any other worldlier ways of expanding my conscious. I get particularly touched by the sound of almost any musical instrument played alive with no microphones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Love. Happiness as a biological feeling. Silent and active meditations. My nephew Analuz. Amazing parties. To be.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could be a good rio de la plata-spanish teacher (in fact I have some times done it as a job). I have some spiritual skills to share, and some background on theater, cinema and literature analysis.

Whatever knowledge of practical or spiritual aims is most welcome.
