About Me

+¡hola! soy una persona tranquila, pero todo me emociona.
+mi filosofía es entregarle todo lo que soy al mundo, teniendo apertura y vulnerabilidad ante todo lo que me rodea.

"Seas quien seas, no importa lo sola que estés,
el mundo se ofrece a tu imaginación,
te llama como los gansos salvajes, ensordecedor y fascinante,
anunciándote una y otra vez tu lugar
en la familia de las cosas."

Mary Oliver, Gansos salvajes

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+hello! i'm a laid-back person, yet everything excites me.
+my life philosophy is to give myself over to the world, with a sense of openness and vulnerability towards everything i encounter in my surroundings.

"...Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things."

Mary Oliver, Wild Geese

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

+porque te permite encontrarte con personas con quienes -si no fuera por couchsurfing- difícilmente te toparías.
+me interesa mucho compartir experiencias e historias con personas de diferentes contextos al mío.
+admiro de la filosofía de couchsurfing el sentido de familia, la voluntad de compartir y conocer a otros, y la oportunidad de hacer accesible para cualquier persona el conocer otros lugares.

+it allows you to meet a lot of people that you would otherwise never run into.
+i'm rather interested in sharing experiences and stories with people from different backgrounds.
