About Me

CURRENT MISSION

keeping my bad name and hiding my good side ;)

ABOUT ME

Let my mission speak about me!

PHILOSOPHY

Please, take your shoes off before coming in. This gesture has become quite familiar to me while staying in India. I feel good when I am barefoot, more in touch with places I walk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, it's a huge pity if all I do is just follwing other travellers path (like go out and eat in the place suggested in travel guide: 90% of the time no locals are there)... Meeting locals, stay at their place makes the experience a loooot more authentical, I can create a connection, make friends and expand the curiosity I have for the spots of the world I walk on.

A veces
por supuesto
usted sonríe
y no importa lo linda
o lo fea
lo vieja
o lo joven
lo mucho
o lo poco
que usted realmente
sea

sonríe
cual si fuese
una revelación
y su sonrisa anula
todas las anteriores
caducan al instante
sus rostros como máscaras
sus ojos duros
frágiles
como espejos en óvalo
su boca de morder
su mentón de capricho
sus pómulos fragantes
sus párpados
su miedo

sonríe
y usted nace
asume el mundo
mira
sin mirar
indefensa
desnuda
transparente

y a lo mejor
si la sonrisa viene
de muy
de muy adentro
usted puede llorar
sencillamente
sin desgarrarse
sin deseperarse
sin convocar la muerte
ni sentirse vacía

llorar
sólo llorar

entonces su sonrisa
si todavia existe
se vuelve un arco iris.
