CURRENT MISSION

to find a way not to feel so useless in front of the decay of our home planet

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, but I have reduced it a lot in the last few years, to assist with my old parents who have recently passed away. I might start traveling again more extensively that I have done in the past few years. However, I don't get bored if I do not travel, actually I don't really know what boredom is. I practice Taijiquan, I love to spend time with friends in the open air, I love music and books, I'm in love with the misteries of life love sleep and death, and really believe that any person I meet is like a mirror of unknown sides of myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I think living is like going to school. The same kind of things occur again and again until we learn the lesson and can go ahead. This leads me to think that something like reincarnation must exist, unless this world has been made by some lunatic entity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I am not travelling much, I can host travellers. I have always met a lot of kind persons in many different situations, and feel I should return this to other people. I hope I'll do well. I used to receive many couch requests, but had to decline most of them, so now I prefer to invite travelers coming in periods when I can host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am accruing experiences, and so far so good. Very good, actually!
