About Me

"To change the world, my friend; it is not madness nor utopia, it is justice."

ABOUT ME

Altough I feel like it's a hard work (and not very honest) for someone to briefly describe himself using a bunch of empty words, I'll try and give you some that may fit me: lively, passionate, laid-back, calm, positive, cheerful, easy-going, adventurous, emotional, creative, talkative...

Once we meet you can tell me if I have to add or delete any of the words from the list.

Nonethelss, I feel like CURIOSITY may be the feature that describes me the best.

PHILOSOPHY

"To see a world in a grain of sand

and heaven in a wild flower

hold infinity in the palm of your hand

and eternity in an hour"

* Auguries of Innocence - William Blake *

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an awesome way for making the world a better place to live.
I have hosted, surfed, traveled and shared plenty of time with couchsurfers and every experience enriched myself and widened my horizonts.

Interests

Experience life & learn and teach.

Melomaniac, Cinephile and Literophile:
I am not just passionate with music, films and literature, I need them as much as breathing.

Love being in contact with nature; live in the wilderness; contemplate and feel the complexity and beautiness of life. Lucky me, it is part of my job!

Passionate with beer: I brew my craft beer.

Love cooking: home-made pizza is my speciality.

Word collector: Interested on unique, untraslatable, and special words, with deep and beautiful meanings. I'll be eternally thankfull if you bring one with you!

Passionate with traveling: experiencing new ways of living and meeting and learning from the people I find on my way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm in love with any kind of art expression. Our feelings make us human and there is no better way of showing them than art! Some of my fauvorites:

Writters: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Haruki Murakami, Roberto Bolaño, José Saramago, Albert Camus, Paul Auster, George Orwell...

Film directors: Spike Jonze, Paul Thomas Anderson, Michel Gondry, Stanley Kubrick, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch, Woody Allen, Tim Burton, Chan Wook Park, Monty Pythons... I am getting deeper into classic movies lately.

Music: I'm am an insatiable melonaniac with a totally eclectic taste that evolves depending on my mood, the weather, the seasson or even the colour of my underwear!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fight with the jungle to collect unnamed fish from the inner depths of the Colombian and Peruvian Amazon.
