Overview
About Me
I'm traveling in Latin America during a undetermined sabbatical time. Life is a travel, so I might never land on. Wish me luck.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To live a different experience when traveling. Meet locals, see the truth inside the people who inhabit a country. Also to have nice chats!
Interests
I'm basically interested in everything 😃
- culture
- books
- human rights
- hiking
- physics
- cinema
- indigenous rights
- astrophysics
- nature conservation
- indigenous cultures
Music, Movies, and Books
Many books, movies, songs. But the game is to pretend that one has a limited number of interests, right? Let's play and limit to two for each category.
Books: Socrates, Hariri and Claude Levy-Strauss
Movies: Kubrick, Aronofsky and Kurosawa
Music: West Coast, Mozart, and Orbital
Painters: Klimt, Monet, and Renoir
Ancient civilizations: Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Nazcas, and Mochicas
New civilizations: Kogis, Bribris, European Union, and the Global civilization
(I'm not good at following non-sensical rules)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Saved apes and elephants in various African countries. I'm no veterinary.
Set up a human rights-based NGO without knowing anything about human rights
Went to live with the Kogi people in Sierra Nevada, Colombia. I'm no anthropologist.
Trying to improve this world by improving myself. Working hard on it.
Teach, Learn, Share
Political science, United Nations, conservation, how to survive an attack of elephant, international relations, French, how to change a wheel.
Philosophy and astrophysics.
I badly need to improve my cooking skills.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I like laughing and talking. Drinking in good company.
I've been traveling a lot, so I can talk about unusual adventures that happened on the road. But I usually prefer listening.
