CURRENT MISSION

Explore and enjoy the meaning of living through on-going awe and gratitude.

ABOUT ME

I am a huge fan of philosophy and people.
I believe every individual has something to bring, and I want to travel the world in order to be a spectator in a series of changing events, people, places, values, etc.
I believe travelling is a matter of perspective, not of geographic displacement.

PHILOSOPHY

"All I know is that I know nothing"- Socrates
To learn is to grow, and to grow can only bring someone closer to themselves, the world and nature: Nature is blissful peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling can be costly and long,
I like the cheaper more social alternative.
