My philosophy:

Respect each individual, no matter his race, creed, sex or nationality. We all suffer and we all face struggle. We all search for happiness. It's our moral obligation to contribute to happiness and not to suffering. The universe gives you back whatever you give to it, multiplied three times.

What I do:

I'm on a journey of discovery. Ever since I was born. There are so many beautiful things in this planet, I want to feel them all. To enjoy them and to get to know them. But there are also many questions. About Life. Love. God. Meaning. Oneself.

So, I am, in essence, an Student of life.

I took a plane in January 2015 to discover the country that fascinated me the most for my whole life: India. And it's been a very, very interesting time. Thanks to every single individual I've met in this trip, for I've learnt more and more about the reality of India. And it's winning my heart.

Now I'm living in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because sharing is the simplest yet most refinate way of love. Sharing is caring. I had nothing but good experiences, some of them really enlightning, with couchsurfing. Now that I'm a traveller, I hope to meet more interesting people all around the globe, and get to understand life from different perspectives. CS is just amazing indeed.

Interests

-Diferent cultures. Their food, beliefs, music, art expressions, rituals, social rules...

-Religions. Wether Hinduism, Buddhisim, Sikhism, Islam, Christianism or any other else, I want to see how they understand life and death, morals, love and their rites. I strongly believe that one can learn a lot from diferent points of view of the whole spiritual thing.

-Food. I'm passionate about it. I just have so much fun cooking and making experiments with new flavors and textures... and I LOVE to discover new tastes and to expand my culinary boundaries. Street food? I'M IN.

-And of course and absolutely, writing. Writing is a part of what I am. Is part of my identity as a human being. Wether micro stories, thoughts about life or travel journaling. I just write.

-Martial arts formed once an essential part of my life and despite I'm not practicing anymore I am very interested in any form of martial arts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went kayaking on a lake many countries away of my homeland the day of my 24th birthday with a complete stranger who resulted to be a fantastic mate.

I have holded the same group of 4 friends whom I proudly call brothers for 21 years. It's just a blessing to have such great people in my life.

Went into a one day camel safari on the Rajasthan desert and ended up living with the camelmen in their village for some time. And I found something truly special there.

3 days kung fu retirement in the mountains in winter. No cellphones, no internet, no books, no clocks. Just kung fu, meditation and healthy food.

Put life on pause for 2 weeks whilst I traveled all the way to India to attend to my friend's wedding in Ranchi, Jharkhand for one of the most intense travelling experiences ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think about myself more of a student than a teacher. I like to keep the idea that "my cup is empty" so I can fill it everyday with something new.

But I can teach you how to do Paella, Spanish potato omelette and maybe some other fusion-cuisine dishes :)

I can teach you all the basics of setting websites and SEO, so if you run a small business and you're trying to get your online presence on point, I should be able to help!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything from some manual labor, helping on any house project you may have, to sharing what I know about food, spirituality, dance, martial arts and travels.

And a good conversation, a big smile and a warm heart. But on that it's irrelevant wether you are a host, a surfer, a pumpkin or a squirrel :)
