CURRENT MISSION

To restore trust between strangers; to unite for a moment two uncrossing lives.

ABOUT ME

I haven't done enough thinking in life to fully formulate a philosophy. What drives me is curiousity, wonder, and surprise. I am open and easygoing. I believe there is always room to be a better person. For as introverted as I am, I believe life should be shared. My beloved possessions are: kaleidoscope, paper, scarf, wheels. I am 5'11''. My favorite color is gray.

PHILOSOPHY

Geez no soy filosofo...Broaden your horizons, get rid of fear of difference, be gentle, empathetic, drink water and eat delicious vege-tables and leaves. Avocado is good at all times of day. Be good to others. Document life. My religion is something like spiritual pantheist-Taoist-mystic-humanism. Something like that. I believe that one should live BEING good to others, because goodness and virtue are actions, not part of essence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate as a host and a guest. I like whipping up a meal as both. I will do my best to be a host wherever I am living at the time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing began in the most wonderful city in the world, San Francisco. There are over 1000 surfers there. Two of them warmly invited me into their homes. I have endless gratitude.

Interests

Language, history, logic, philosophy, the Enlightenment, bicycles, the Classics, birds, spirituality, spices, law, diplomacy, satire, fitness, handstands, Scrabble, skating, sketching, et cetera.
Taking walks are very important for me. Silence is something else that I feel is essential, alone and between people.
