If someone asked me who I am, to give them information I would have to refer to things registered in my memory. I would have to create an image full of labels, and I’m nothing like that. I am , a being unforeseeable such as life itself, which does not fit in any image because my ways are always changing, and my true being is indefinite, impossible to refer. Often we carry with us our own image ,an ideal us that we had created with pieces of memories and other things dreamt by our idealism. I am, and being does not fit in any image because it transcends them all.

But in any case that I should indeed create an image full of labels, I am fire, I am air, I am the trailblazer that flows through the journey with shrewdness & unabating laughter, in an incessant search for new sensations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our brains are wired to connect.
Also (and this happens to be a inevitable cliché) , I truly believe there is no better way of getting to know a country than through it's people.
