About Me

"If there is a will there is a way."

I love to travel, but I believe that the most important journey is one that I make inside of myself, to discover new parts of it everyday.

I see myself as a being on journey on Earth to learn lifelong lessons and get new experiences, but most importantly I believe that a human being is totally fullfilled when he has to offer the best of himself to the society he lives in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because It's an opportunity to learn new things and share experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being (Re)Born! (-:

Teach, Learn, Share

“Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness – all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil. But for my part I have long perceived the nature of good and its nobility, the nature of evil and its meanness, and also the nature of the culprit himself, who is my brother (not in the physical sense, but as a fellow creature similarly endowed with reason and a share of the divine); therefore none of those things can injure me, for nobody can implicate me in what is degrading. Neither can I be angry with my brother or fall foul of him; for he and I were born to work together, like a man’s two hands, feet or eyelids, or the upper and lower rows of his teeth. To obstruct each other is against Nature’s law – and what is irritation or aversion but a form of obstruction.”

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ...”

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is, and you must bend to its power or live a lie.”

- Miyamoto Musashi

“The true science of martial arts means practicing them in such a way that they will be useful at any time.”

- Miyamoto Musashi
