ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty relaxed person who likes to take things as they come, but I'm always ready to help others where I can. I enjoy the company of others and the community life, but I also like spending time alone.

I enjoy reading, thinking, sometimes writing. I love cooking and baking, and sharing these things with others. I love the sea, spring time, live music, funny people, flowers and fresh air, colours, smells and patterns.
i enjoy the city life, but i also love nature. i love sunshine, smiles, laughs, calmness, silence, bird song, tea, philosophy and all things knotted, knitted and woven...

PHILOSOPHY

life for me is a continuous process of learning. there's so much diversity in the world, so much to be explored, shared, experienced, understood. travelling is the most interesting, spontaneous and enriching form of learning in my experience, and that is why i love it.
we take so much for granted, and although having fun is the the main premise of my life philosophy, i like to be and try to be, always aware of what i'm experiencing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
By hosting you when I have a place, and helping you with any information I can.
Being a respectful guest in your home, hopefully making you feel as at ease as with an old (or new!) friend. Happy to share and teach you what I can! Life is a time for celebration, and these encounters with new people and cultures make it all the more special!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted many a great soul in Glasgow and I experienced great hospitality, kindness and enthusiasm whilst surfing in europe and all over south america. scrambled up mountains, swam in the sea, danced in the streets, laughed lots, ate excellent homemade local food, and slept incredibly well!

Music, Movies, and Books

In the last few years I've read less and spent more time making handicrafts and music, but I definitely appreciate the beautiful craft of words on a paper, and their ability to reach deep and sensitive parts inside us...A couple of things:
milan kundera, the book of tea, brion gyson, electric kool-aid acid test, louis macneice, yeats, siddartha, roberto juarroz, atahualpa yupanqui, a hundred years of solitude, the dharma bums, desiderata by max erhmann.

jazz, tropicalia, bossa nova, reggae, irish trad, andean folk music, the hypnotic rythms of tinariwen, and the colourful music of africa. The Natives are Friendly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hitching hiking a catamaran from Gran Canaria to Brazil! i saw and experienced many amazing things during that time, from flying fish, to swimming with wild dolphins, showering in the rain of a storm, and approaching land again after 38 days....
