About Me

PHILOSOPHY
Maybe we'll die today, but before, we'll live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the world is vast and it's more fun to discover it with and through other peoples eyes, ideas, ways of living and being.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like to help with the cooking or even cook for my hosts, buy some groceries if I can, help with washing the dishes, cleaning the house and so on, and I expect the same from my guests: being part of it all, the fun and the quiet, the breathtaking moments and the everyday life necessities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've been hosted a few times, here and there, for extended periods ranging from just a night to more than 6 months, since I was about 19, with people from alike or very different cultures (e.g lived with amazonian natives or monk sisters). The point for me is to just live with the people, be it a crazy or quiet life. I've also hosted a few times, I usually prefer extended stays like more than 3 days, and I also met some couchsurfers out in the city, just for a day trip, a drink or dinner;

Interests

The basics: Nature and drawing.
Then also listening to and playing music, cooking and eating good food (organic stuff and happy animals) walking, hiking, dancing, having fun, going to the movies, gardening, shamanism, amazonian medicine, ayahuasca, dreams, lucid dreaming, painting, going out, staying home, making love, massages, developing consciousness, singing, talking... about politics, gender, sociology, culture, economics, silly things too, indigenous people around the world, meeting new people and traveling... drinking lots of tea, some wine and cocktails ... and to finish I also like trying new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting enlightened after watching my cigarette fall from the 8th floor.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm good at drawing, teaching languages to all ages, gardening (organic, permaculture kinda stuff), shaman stuff I learned in Ecuador and Peru, I'm pretty good at massages too, also, I've been playing percussions since I was 7 (so about 20 years now) and I love playing with other people.
