About Me

Ok, I'm a student. Traveler and researcher. I'm looking forward to contruct my life's meaning, but for that I need inspiration; and inspiration comes from knowing new places, knowing new people and from being open to be able to impregnate myself of others ideas and ways of living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because i just love the idea of an internet community that hosts and organizes events with no lucrative ends. A community that is extended through out the world, and that supports and encourages one of the things i most love: traveling.
There are many reasons. Because i love meeting new people; and it's even better when they are radically different, because like that i get to know other ways of living and seeing the world. Because i like the possibilities of intercultural exchanges offered by the platform. And more... :D

Interests

Philosophy, art, music. But above all i'm driven by a continous search of myself, fueled by a burning passion for living new experiences and a continuous questionning about myself, others and the univers that we all share.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmmm, for music i am all over the place: like rap, classical music, EDM, Trap, sometimes Trance, rock, pop...
Movies, jmmm, I could say that are favorites but I do like inception, shutter island, Jacob's ladder, el perro andaluz; I would say that psychological thriller is my favorite genre.
For my books, I really have a growing tendency towards philosophy, I've read -and own- books by Nietzsche, Plato, Aristotle. I'm starting to read Freud, and anxious about reading "l'histoire de la folie" by Foucault.
In painting, I do like mostly Francis Bacon's work, followed by the german expressionism and american expressionism, notably Rothko. I have an uncanny atraction towards the surrialism, and towards Dalí's works.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I couldn't tell it publicly haha :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach,
I like teaching it's one of my favorite thing it accelerates my heartbeat and filles my life with passion. What do I teach? English, spanish, french, I don't know, I could teach anything if you give me the time.
One of my projects it's to teach in a disadvantaged country anything that's needed to contribute my two cents to the cause of helping those in need.

Learn,
I'm always learning. I see myself as a philosopher, in the etymological sense of the word - knowledge passionate, that by cruising through life understands more and more about himself and others.

Share,
I could share my time, my ideas or my passions. I have nothing else to give.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm good company, we could small talk; everything would be fine and we would have a nice time. But what I'm most interested in is in life changing experiences; both for me and you.
We could live something accelerating, or sit down and talk with tranquility. But both with a more ontological approach; always looking to motivate one's self reflection: Who am I? What do I want to be? Am I being that?
