ABOUT ME
For the last four years, travelling has allowed me to get a glimpse of the world, of other cultures, other forms of life and learn a lot about other people and myself. It is a humbling experience. I like to be out of my comfort zone and be challenged in my daily life. I am very grateful for all the kind people that I have met who have made my life easier.
PHILOSOPHY
"Only when you start travelling, one realizes that the greatest distances create the biggest illusions and that travelling alone is pleasure as much as punishment." (Paul Theroux)
"There is nothing more beautiful than life." (Teofilo Stevenson)
"Luck is always what you think it is." (Ingrid Bergman)
"The shortest way to one self is around the world." (Hermann Graf Keyserling)
"They must often change who want to be constant in happiness or wisdom." (Confucius)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I share my stories and I like to listen to other people's stories. We laugh, we drink tee and hot chocolate and we eat.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I will always remember my first meeting with a young Chilean women who I have become really good friends. we have seen each other 3 times since 2005. I just like to have a chat, go out or cook together - there is something very nice about meeting people who live in a place and get to know more about their lives, culture and the country.
