About Me

CURRENT MISSION

One step is to leave home. Second, it is already the entrance to the road.

ABOUT ME

In 2011, for two months I was a volunteer in Ecuador - worked in a school near Quito. Since September 2012 I will study Latin American Culture in Lima, Peru. Here I will share what I discovered along the way: http://www.facebook.com/caminodeerva

Not only I go, but also I'm looking for - Macondo, Comala and Santa Maria are three places that are not in a particular place, but you can find them. I read about them in books of Marquez, Rulfo, Onetti and indeed in many others. So will look for them.

And you, do you believe in what they write in books?;)

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is impossible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly known as a "Couch Surfing Emergency" :) Since I don't have a lot of space at home, usually I enjoy helping my friends to make their couch surfing friends feel like at home where they stay:)

I don't know how it works but almost always I find brother souls here. Nice, isn't it?:)

Mostly Latin America culture (Precolombian history, languages), anthropology. Also the issue of human rights (especially the freedom of information). Archaeology. Photography
