About Me

CURRENT MISSION

my mission... be happy?

ABOUT ME

About myself. I like reading, cooking, walking. I love Ecuador, and I don't know it half as well as I would like to. However I do have lots of advice and suggestions for those of you travelling here.

PHILOSOPHY

To be happy without hurting anyone is ideal, to be content with not killing directly is conformist. I think it is possible for all humans to live a decent life which satisfies at the very least, human basic needs. I know that world equality is near impossible, yet covering basic needs is achievable. And that is the basis of all I think, we're all the same here, striving for the same things, so why fuss and fight?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed some couches, and I've hosted several surfers. Mostly I show them how to move around quito, if I have the time I'll take them to a nice part of town, show them some museums, etc.
