CURRENT MISSION

to be the change I want to see in the world

ABOUT ME

I am a human being. Some of my interests are music, healing, experiencing the ways other people live their lives. I seem to move to a new place every now and then to find what I can learn there. I play the trumpet and frame drum. It´s been 2 years now since i ve lived in South America (mostly near Cusco). I used to do seasonal jobs mostly in tourism (sleddogs handler, hot air ballooning crew, hiking guide). I teach qigong and give massages. Also on my way to write a book.

PHILOSOPHY

This time now is very interesting, as we all take part in a global transformation. On all levels as you want it, from most physical to economical, political & social, creative and spiritual it can be seen that a new kind of consciousness is emerging. My personal philosophy is nothing particularly mine, only that I enjoy seeing it from my point of view. You can also google the "amerindian perspectivism" to see some philosophical thought twisters I like.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in creating a sense of being together, a space where different people can meet, accept, exchange and help each other. I believe this is my real job.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few times my travels were made possible thanks to the help of goodhearted people who opened their houses for me. And also whenever I could I really enjoyed helping travelers in similar way. However it's been years I had a place of my own (so I don't host), usually staying by friends, in communities and sometimes CS. I respect their lifestyle, try to bring a fresh perspective, take care of people and help around the house.

Interests

anthropology, natural medicine, music, qigong, shiatsu, spontaneous dance, experimenting with all kinds of food and fasting, digesting stories, provoking responses, solving problems, making friends, remaining myself, beating around the bush, openly disclosing sheer nonsense just to see what happens, palpating the limits, dreaming happily and purposefully awakening.
