Overview
About Me
-- All what you will read below is not necessarily true, this was 7/8 years ago --
Some days I try to be the change I want to see in the world, some others...
ABOUT ME
I can bend my thumb more than 90º (antinatural? way) which I heard means I am quite indecisive, which I think is true, for the good and for the bad...I can be very stubborn too though. I look like a spanish, eventhough I have heard sometimes that I look like a french, depends on the day...I try to embrace every moment with interest and be open to what might come, I don´t always achieve it though...I like suspension points...
PHILOSOPHY
"When I see I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I see I am everything, that is love. My life is a movement between these two" --> Nisargadatta Maharaj
"Be the change you want to see in the world" --> Mahatma Gandhi
"The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity" --> Erich Fromm
I will stop now. Still working on my own you see...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I´ve hosted and I have been hosted. I try to be myself everywhere I am, and make every body happy starting with my self.
Interests

Someone to run with, despite the cheesy title, is really good, and the Kite Runner, swallowed them with hunger :).
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you some 3 balls tricks, or some with 4, or 5 ...even though I am still struggling with it...
Some drum beats with the djembe, sum with the kit, which mushrooms are edible and which are not (from the ones I know...), depending on what are you interested in, I'll share what I know if it´s possible! and I expect the same from you! Sharing will unfold!
