CURRENT MISSION

Learning to let go.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Colombia and moved to the States when I was about 19. I am quiet, enjoy observation, love dancing. Sometimes I feel the need to explore new places, throw myself to the world, and see what happens. Other times I miss having a home and being stable. I am trying to find my place, find balance.

PHILOSOPHY

"In truth we are each responsible to all for all, it's only that men don't know this. If they knew it, the world would be a paradise at once."
-Fyodor Dostoevsky

"I decided I must not be a persuader but a doer"
-B. Fuller

Use only what you need. Waste nothing. Share what you have with others.

"The first thing to understand about the universe is that no condition is 'good' or 'bad.' It just is. So stop making value judgments. The second thing to know is that all conditions are temporary. Nothing stays the same, nothing remains static. Which way a thing changes depends on you."
-Neale Donald Walsh

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunsets in many different places, diving for the fist time, waking up in Tikal, hiking up to the top of Mount Roraima and of Gunung Rinjani... I am lucky to have seen and done many amazing things.

Teach, Learn, Share

There are many things to teach and to learn from each other, we just need the disposition and a bit of time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook for other people, so we will probably share at least a meal or two. I can also share pillows, blankets, a towel, soap... the basics. I won't share my toot brush though. :P
