About Me

I am working on a personal project of social development through flow learning and art expression. I'm also writing a book.

I love traveling. I love music in such a freak way, there are some sincerely sounds that put me in other dimension. I love talking but I respect if someone is quiet, sometimes i can be quiet too, there are moments when a lot of things round our minds.

I can be a good adventure mate. I'm eager to learn from the experience.

I believe in journalism that tells stories, not the one that just repeat facts.

Estoy trabajando en un proyecto de desarrollo social a través del arte y la expresión.
Amo viajar. Amo la música. Me gusta hablar pero respeto el silencio y el espacio personal de los demás.
Me encantan las aventuras, me gusta arriesgarme, vencer mis miedos, vivir.

PHILOSOPHY

Live free. The eternity is just a moment.

"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds"

Vive libre. La eternidad es solos un momento.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling for a personal growing project. I am traveling without much money, so I work in every place I visit.

Don't have any experience in this. It will be my first time asking for a couch and I'm exited about it. I want to learn a lot, and also pass that knowledge, like a chain.

Estoy viajando por un proyecto de crecimiento personal. Viajo sin mucho dinero, así que trabajo en cada sitio que visito.

No tengo mucha experiencia en esto. Será mi primera vez pidiendo couch y me agrada mucho la idea. Me gusta aprender, y pasar ese conocimiento, como una cadena.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music. Classic rock, the music that goes through your veins, just like Charly García describes in his song La ruta del tentempie . Also love jazz, blues, salsa, instrumental music, and any mix of sound that express the holes of soul.

I write (a lot as you can see) so I read a lot. Even though I love reading i know this skill don't make me more or less intelligent. I think literature, good literature, is a expresion of deepest feelings, is a pure thing, not a competition. One of my favorite writers is Virginia Woolf, I want to visit London because of her. I also love Carson McCuller's The heart is a lonely hunter book. Other favorite writers are Alejo Carpentier, Pavese, Saramago, Sábato, Roth, Conrad, Kipling, Youcernar, Fitzgerald, Kafka, Borges, Jorge Enrique Adoum, Gabo, Italo Calvino and some others, yeah I'm a freaking book lover.
For the record, I am ok with people that do not like to read. I think there are a lot more ways of learning like music, outdoor experiences, etc.
Once I spend a month with a Shuar community in the jungle, most of them had never opened a book but had ancient knowledge that no book gives you, they are wise.

Something I want to do is to write a script of a movie. I like people with audiovisual skills, I learn a lot from them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done bungee jumping in Baños, Ecuador
I have swum in a cold lake surrounded by mountains in Imbabura
I have done rafting in the Ecuadorian Amazon
I made shots from helicopter to cities
I visited Shuar communities in the Ecuadorian jungle and tried ayahuasca

Teach, Learn, Share

I have photo and writing skills. Also know experiential education techniques. I know kayak, rappelling and trekking.
I want to learn how to play music instruments from countries I visit and I will like to teach others what I learn.
I have a lot of love and laugh to give.
I also can cook Ecuadorian dishes :)
