ABOUT ME

I'm into adventure, be it on the road, in a book or in my head.
Me gusta la aventura, sea en el camino, en un libro o adentro de mi cabeza.

PHILOSOPHY

The only thing which is for sure is that nothing is for sure. Emancipate yourself from mental slavery by keeping every door in your mind slightly ajar. Behind every corner there might be something that makes the foundations of your worldview tremble...

Thoreau: “When we consider what, to use the words of the catechism, is the chief end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if man had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preffered it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left. But alert and healthy natures remember that the sun rose clear. It is never too late to give up our prejudices. No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What everybody echoes or in silence passes by as true to-day may turn out to be falsehood to-morrow, mere smoke of opinion, which some had trusted for a cloud that would sprinkle fertilizing rain on their fields. What old people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can. Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I keep my karma levels steady by balancing out hosting and surfing. In KiSwahili, East Africa's lingua franca, there's a word 'Mgeni', meaning both 'stranger' and 'guest' at the same time. This linguistically embedded idea can be truly felt in the region. I try to act in the same way.
