ABOUT ME
I am a gentle yet strong, somewhat introverted and also extroverted, kind, considerate, respectful, thoughtfull man. As a student of philosophy, spirituality, development, and the human condition i am sometimes absentminded. I strive to be a good friend to my friends and strive to be correct, kind, and respectful in all i do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've left my home in Bolivia, partially because things are not well there, and partially to pursue the next stage of my career and will be travelling extensively the next months as i work to connect a global network of caring, compassionate human beings, including friendly citizens, experienced changemakers, and any one who cares about making the world a better place.

I believe that connecting, sharing, playing, and working, and even living together is key to growing as a human being, to intercultural understanding, and to co-creating a saner, safer, healthier, and happier world :)

I want to meet interesting, happy, wonderful human beings and invite anyone who is interested to join me in my initiative, a new framework and soon, a digital platform, designed to enable anyone, anywhere, to improve their own life and that of those around them. I'm happy to listen deeply, provide feedback if requested, and share my ideas and experience with anyone who hosts me or meets up through Couchsurfing.

Interests

Spirituality, philosophy, exploring the unknown dimensions of life through meditation, travel, climbing remote peaks or hiking deep into jungle, through music and images, conversation, engaging with new communities and people ... I love to spend an evening with friends enjoying creative cooking & dialogue.

My current focus in life is understanding how human beings can achieve happier, healthier, balanced, better lives at the individual, community, organizational, and collective levels -- and on writing books and developing software and entrepreneurial ventures that address these issues. I'm passionate about nature and social, political, and economic development.

A great weekend includes rockclimbing, hiking, camping, yoga, meditation, and quality time with dear friends or time spent in meaningful work, reading, conversation; silence.
