Resumen
Sobre mí
An ongoing existential crisis and a passion for film and photography are the other reasons that drive me to travel. I feel a pulse only when I have the freedom to explore. Otherwise, like everyone else, I love the interaction with other cultures, communities and social spaces because why else would we travel and engage on CS? (:

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
I'd love to meet other people (lol you don't say).
The inconvenient truth: I know the internet is not the best place for secret tips to a destination. Is it even low-key if it's online? I believe that a hole-in-the-wall eatery and the unknown sunrise viewpoint are best kept secrets of locals that most travellers miss out on.
But I'd also love to meet non-locals residing in a city/town. It's not a patronizing statement so that I fit the interests of more people. I always imagine working abroad but have yet to come across such an opportunity. I wonder about the assimilation and the excitement and would love to experience it vicariously through those who have done it, if they so wish to recount their favourite moments after making the huge decision to relocate. I also admire the beauty of being able to bare our souls to strangers from afar because of the lack of expectations from a non-transactional cultural exchange.
Most importantly, if I never formed a meaningful connection when I visit a place, was I really ever there or did I merely go through it like a passenger?

Música, películas y libros
MUSIC:
I love my basic top hits of the season. But I also love non-radio (or Spotify in this day) hits like this one I used for my first Olympics trip to Rio: https://youtu.be/2JBVA9Ffp9g
MOVIES:
Infinity War (because who doesn't?!)
Interstellar
The Martian
Gravity (As you can see, I'm drawn to movies depicting helplessness and survival because it suggests that life has meaning.)
BOOKS:
I spend too much time on the internet and watching TV series (see below).
The last good book I read - Anonymous Lawyer by Jeremy Blachman
The last audio book (also the only one I listened to the end lol) - Unbound: A Story of Snow and Self-Discovery” by Steph Jagger

Grey's Anatomy
Continuum
Black Mirror
Dark
