About Me

"When friends from far away come to visit-is it not a delight?"
Confucius

*ATTENTION: NOT HOSTING PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE A PROPERLY SET-UP PROFILE!

In free time I love going to yoga festivals and conscious events, playing sound baths is my new thing that developed from teaching yoga and raise internal awareness.
Playing with musical instruments this dance we call life.
Nomad gipsy and explorer. Some might say bohemian lol

Working with integrating sound healing and yoga.
I've been blessed to be able to go back to the enchanted Archipelago of Galapagos (Ecuador) to enjoy oneness with Mother Nature. After glimpse of understanding the dhamma wheel with Vipassana I have a clearer vision of where I'm coming from...and where I'm heading to :)
.light.

PHILOSOPHY

Idealist putting in practice; therefore I simply AM.

"people are strange" and I'm one of'em.

If there is a way to make a philosophy tangible, then... us human beings are not aware of the untold. We are spiritual beings who are trapped in this reality..an illusion, really. Somehow some of us are able to live on higher frequencies in which their consciousness takes them way beyond the clouds (I'm not referring to drugs :). Anyway if you know about other planes, dimensions and how to elevate into a light being...I'm all ears :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

general rule is:

you have to know yourself or else (many people write that) “i don’t know what to write about myself” syndrome kicks in. 🤣

*ATTENTION: I DO NOT HOST PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE A PROPERLY SET-UP PROFILE!
If you are new to CS the general advise is that you need to write about yourself a lot, have pictures and possibly references (talk about it with travelers).
If you ask for a couch and your profile it's empty means that you didn't read my profile, in that case you are missing out on what's CS really about.

Have been hosting/surfing since 2010
I also participate by not lending out to my fellow CSers blankets full of cat hairs (it happened to me in Bolivia and I woke up meowing hahahaa!!)

I deeply appreciate the community for being full of members who are actually in love with themselves and the people and the food and traveling and getting to know everyone on this planet and being themselves and in love with Mother Nature which is our only roof on everybody's heart. PEACE & LOVE

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I met more people that I could think of! I've been a member for this little time and already have a few more GOOD FRIENDS, trustworthy people. ONE LOVE is also my universal credo (Bob's really lol)

Interests

Top of priorities right now is SOUND HEALING WITH GONGS, CRYSTAL SINGING BOWLS, FLUTES and more.
Moving around...talking, reading, jumping, dancing, driving, riding motorcycles and mountain bikes, looking but more observing, tasting, drinking, exploring, climbing(mirrors:),walking, hiking, snowboarding, freebording, hugging, smiling and laughing...go to hot springs(I miss the one in Italy!!), looking for adrenaline, kissing monkeys, admiring nature, knowing different people, helping (or trying helping) wounded animals...and this is just the tip of the iceberg:)

  • festivals
  • cooking
  • organic food
  • yoga

  • motorcycles
  • traveling
  • hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

Pink Floyd always top of the list; music: I love mostly genres.
John Lennon and George Harrison (sorry for the other 2 bugs...)
I listen to almost everything. Mostly reggae and Indian beats.

Documentaries are my favourite...tv should be abolished!
Books that come from the real world,not into reading love stories, stupid long pointless novels or fantasy (comics I like,and manga).

ADBUSTERS, if u don't know it it's ok because it's not easy to find.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

{I'm on tour with Tone of Life sept/oct 2016, we'll be hitting Phoenix, Sedona, San Rafael, Fairfax, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Vancouver Canada. So if you live in one of these cities you might get a message from me ;)}

Skydiving was really exciting!I`m gonna do it again!!I thought Niagara falls were big...compared to Iguaçu Falls in Brasil, they look like a swimming pool. Traveling So.America by bus has been the most gratifying experience I've had since birth. Sliding down an active volcano's iced pipes on my frozen butt using an ice pick to brake.awesome! swimming with equatorial penguins,turtles,sharks; diving in schools of fish and barracudas in the Galapagos Islands (earthly paradise) Machu Picchu crossed off the list, hiking Patagonia: checked!oh...I almost forgot Brazil and the carnival :)I am one with nature when I fit in. walking barefoot on the grass, or the sand and the crispy rocks.next trip to wonderland...wanna go with?!?
I am the first man in the world to have done freebording in Isabela Island in Galapagos!! I BET U CAN'T PROOVE ME WRONG hahahahahaaa!!
Moab, Utah.
Sedona, Arizona.
Yellowstone National Park.
San Juan Islands, Washington.
Meditation is the key to world peace...unfotunately if you don't go and try with your own skin you'll never understand.
Walking for over a whole month in the Himalayas in Nepal :D
Visiting the birthplace of the Buddha in Lumbini with another Vipassana retreat.
Scuba diving Thailand a few years after the tsunami had hit it...which was kinda of like looking at a graveyard :/
Visiting India for a yoga teacher training, and experienced the biggest gathering of the planet since millennia...the KUMBH MELA!

UPDATE FEB 2018: Heading to TRIBAL GATHERING in Panama

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyday is a new day(even into our own boring routines), and we all should start the day with a smile, and be glad to have family and friends, but most of all food to share and a roof on my couch:)
I am looking forward to enhance my meditative state of living and detach as much as I can from the material world, without taking myself too seriously.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It’s not possible to sleep in the living room as my roommate wakes up at 5-6am and blasts music up.. also she’s not always so friendly lmao
I can share my room whether you want to sleep on the floor or bed space. Food, a roof, a couch, stories, love, experiences, teachings..oh yeah, yoga and sound meditation 🎶💚
