About Me

CURRENT MISSION

reading the book of the world. as it was said - world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. even if you're not much of a reader, you definitely don't want to miss this one.

ABOUT ME

collector of the experiences and memories, only kinds of treasure and wealth that nobody can take away from you (bar the alzheimer's :) ).

i like to think of me as easygoing, open minded and friendly person. very few things have the power to make me react in a negative way. i believe in strength of positive thinking and doing. kind of people i enjoy the most are those who can make me laugh or teach me something.
lifelong learning and self-improvement is huge in my book. and in a way of becoming better than one used to be, not better than someone else. gotta constantly challenge yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUo1kZ-8nnE

''
Este puto mundo no es de nadio y es de todos
Ccinco continentes en un mismo corazón

No fronteras, no banderas, no a la autoridad
No riqueza, no pobreza, no desigualdad
Rompamos la utopía, dejemos de soñar, arriba el mestizaje, convivir en colectividad

Gritaré que ardan las banderas por la fraternitad
Que caiga el patriotismo y la hostalidad racial
Cultura popular...''

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

traveling is not about escaping from daily routines, working and stress or random meetings with other people. It's not in satisfying curiosity. It is in experiencing, which is enrichment, deeper understanding of unity in diversity of great weving of earth and mankind, in refinding old truths and laws under the new circumstances.
Romanticism of traveling is variety of impressions, cheerful or basful anticipation of adventure, but above all, the most valuable, relationship with people who are new and unknown to us. Expression of receptionist is same in Paris as in London, and you wont remember it. But meeting and spending time with local people helps not only to find and feel the heartbeat of the city, but it often leads to unplanned occurrences and details which mostly will shine with special glow in ones memories. And i feel there's no better way to it then CS.
