About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to get a grip on my life...

ABOUT ME

Hi i am a 23 year old student/employee, trying to find something special (don't know yet what it is...)I got my bachelors on Political Science this year (writing my thesis right now) but i am also studying philosophy. I work on a NGO on social development. I lived in sweeden a year and a half ago and i will go germany on december this year, let's see what happens...

Well i am a very open minden person, i like to meet people from all over the world (i have a lot of friends living in different countries) I like to party hard, (haha really hard) but i also enjoy other kind of activities, like going to cinema or to a jazz concert... a nice coffee with my friends after a great party is something i also enjoy....

I joined Couch surfing because i have met some really nice people thanks to it... Well i hope that if you come to Mexico City and want to have a nice time you contact me!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Well i still don't have my own philosophical system (maybe one day...) but right now i try to read a lot on many things and then live, and then read and then, after i can not take anymore sit and think... so if you have to resume the things i believe it would be that life needs to be lived as hard as you can, in the way you understand it and the manner that pleases you...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well so far i have met some really nice people thanks to couchsurfing.

Interests

Well i want to be something between philosopher/writer/forever (jajaja eso ya lo soy), so basically i like to read a lot, to listen to music and to travel to unknown places, and if they are really different to Mexico is better.

My second passion in life (maybe the first) is music, i like rock, electronic, jazz and classical, but i am also open to new kinds of music (one of the best experiences in life is to find out new music!)

I enjoy a lot going out and meeting people, so my third interest is people; human beings can be a nice subject to study...

Music, Movies, and Books

Well on books right now i love 2666, the great novel of Roberto Bolaño, but among my favorite writers are Paul Celan, Gunter Grass, Cees Noteboom, Orhan Pamuk, Sartre, Camus, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Javier Marías, Rilke, Joyce, Beckett, etc, etc...

I love Woody Allen movies, Ingmar Bergman, Theo Angelopoulus, Won Kar Wai and my dear old Godard. Cinema is one of my passions also, i would love to direct something one day...

And music, well i can not live without music, and is hard to say something about the only thing that can make cry...
