About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To reduce consuming (my own for one thing)

ABOUT ME

"...se me ocurría como una especie de eructo mental que todo ese abecé de mi vida era una penosa estupidez porque se quedaba en mero movimiento dialéctico, en la elección de una in conducta en vez de una conducta, de una módica indecencia en vez de una decencia gregaria" J. Cortázar

In English: If you can't understand am I talking seriously or not - I'm not :)

PHILOSOPHY

Never do today what you can do tomorrow

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm traveling and meet different people from CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled with my friend who is in couchserfing community. It was a nice experience.
Then I was in a really difficult situation - my flight was canceled because of Eyjafjallajökull and I had to stay in US one week more almost without money. Several couchsurfers were ready to shelter me! But then a friend of a friend of mine take me to his house in Princeton. But I'm still grateful to all of them!

Interests
