Descubrí viajar tarde (como casi todo). Me di cuenta que lo que había hecho hasta entonces era más bien turismo con ciertos toques de aventura. Pero viajar es salir afuera para descubrir lo que una lleva adentro. Si viajar no te altera por dentro, es que se trata de otra cosa.

No tengo una filosofía o ideología que haya perdurado en el tiempo. Como canta la negra Sosa, "así como todo cambia, así cambio yo". Procuro no pertenecer a ningún "-ismo", aunque empatizo con las ideas libertarias, la espiritualidad y en general con toda práctica que nos acerque a recrear comunidades, es decir, todo aquello que el sistema en que vivimos procura destruir en pos de un individualismo que nos aleja de "Dios" (entiéndase con ello la vida, la naturaleza, el ser, ...).

Quizá lo que más disfruto en la vida es aquello que puedo compartir. Por eso cuando viajo, no me importan tanto los monumentos o museos sino las personas, sus costumbres y la naturaleza.

Me gusta hablar y escuchar, comer y beber, pasear y tocar algo de música, los artistas que arriesgan y los artesanos que crean sin cesar, la vida en el campo y las que resisten en las ciudades, la libertad y la responsabilidad que esta supone,...

"Son inútiles los revolucionarios que no trabajan la tierra, que dependen del sistema que ellos mismos atacan y que producen palabras y balas en lugar de alimento y cobijo." (Bill Mollison)

I discovered later to travel (like almost everything). I realized what I was doing since them wastourism with some touches of adventure. But travelling is about to go outside in order to discover what we have inside us. Travelling alters you by inside.

I don't have one philosophy or ideology that persisted along time. Mercedes Sosa sang "as everything changes, so I change". I try to not belonging to any "-ism", but I empathise with libertarian ideas, spirituality and with any practice that bring us to recreate community, I mean, everything that the system where we live in tries to destroy in order to impose an individualism that get us away from "God" (try to understand this like life, nature, or being, ...)

Maybe, what I really enjoy is everything I can share. Is because that when I travel, I am not fan of visiting monuments or museums but people, their costumes and nature.

I like to talk and listen, eating and cooking, walking and play some music, risky artists and artisans creating without limits, freedom and the responsibility glued to it, ....

“... Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter.” (Bill Mollison)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why I want to give up Couchsurfing?

CS has been without a doubt a very important experience in my life. Now I try to meet the people I cross when travelling directly, starting a conversation.
Let's accept that in the last years CS became another platform more oriented to earn money than to generate experiences. The ads offering to find couple/girlfriend or the title "stay with locals for free" shocks me!!! Really is this the goal???
I am migrating to bewelcome.org which is really a community project not only a platform for business.
