Overview
About Me
I am 38 years old. I enjoy outdoor activities and am quite fond of being in nature. I play drums and percussion such as djembe, cajón, and congas. I am quite into gardening. I am vegetarian, and try to step on the earth as lighlty as possible. I enjoy meeting people from other places and enjoy travelling as well.
I was born in California, USA but my family is from Uruguay so I lived between both countries. When I was 18 I left Uruguay returning to the US and 7 years later I left to Holland with a university scholarship where I lived for 5 years. Then with a call to return a bit to the land I chose to come to Spain to live a bit more of a self sufficient lifedtyle. At the moment I live next to a small town in the province of Tarragona, called Pont d'Armentera. And from there we'll see.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am couchsurfing because I find that staying with people is much more hospitable than a hostel. I find that it is nice to know that someone is waiting for you wherever it is that you are going. I enjoy meeting people of all walks of life and I find that couchsurfing facilitates this in a very human way. After all our needs are that of roof and human interaction.
Interests
I enjoy playing music very much, I find that it is the language of the soul. For me it has been a companion in the walks of life.
I am quite into agroecology as well. I feel myself as an extension of the planet and as so try to live in a coherent way with this.
I enjoy working with and for the earth whether i am growing my vegetables or playing my drums.
As I enjoy good ingredients from the earth i enjoy cooking as well.
- gardening
- music
- hiking
- kayaking
- ceramics
Music, Movies, and Books
I like many styles of music, I can't say I have a favourite. I can say what i DON´T like which is reggae ton, american country music, Britney Spears and all that king of american hype.
I enjoy music from south smerica, the middle east, asia, europe, etc.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One amazing thing I have done is lived in the mountain for about thrre years having only a bicycle as a means of transport. A very valuable experience!
