CURRENT MISSION

Trying not to grow old too hard.

ABOUT ME

Sometimes lost but always eventually found. Sometimes lonely but always acknowledging it's only state of your mind. Sometimes living in dreams but always recalling that current is what you used to dream before.

Sometimes trying to be witty and utterly failing and deemed to be a bit strange. Heh, so in other words, I guess I've always been a bit going my own paths and doing my own things regardless what others think. At some point on that path, lost the fear of trying new even if it might lead to situations where you might fail and think "oh, bad". So, open to ideas and have will to make them happen.

Currently, living the rational and responsible part of my life and trying to earn my degree finally. But, by all means, hard to see myself ever joining the Rat Race. My future is made of dreams of trekking in the Australian Outbacks and moving to Chile to live in a commune. As some examples.

PHILOSOPHY

When I was born,
I couldn't either talk or walk,

well,
doing great now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly by telling stories embedded with some hopefully funny jokes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some surfing for now. Happily nothing but positive thoughts about it.

Haven't hosted anyone yet, after getting a couch or equal could do that.

Interests

First getting lost, afterwards getting out of lost.

More of the latter.

• writing
• drinking
• surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

With movies, I suck a bit, not watching too much. Nice documentary movie; "Genius and the Boys", provoked some thoughts out of controversial matters. Well, check it out, then maybe we'll discuss of it.

Music, listening constantly. On the time of writing, listening "Tegan & Sara", always makes happy. On my older days I have started to understand "Radiohead" which I used to hate. "Streetlight Manifesto", "Mustard Plug" and the rest with horns and guitars off-beat. Best live party recently with "LCMDF".

Books, "The Catcher in the Rye". Amazingly up-to-date even being written such along time ago and in completely different world. Other than that, sadly mostly rational and factual literature aiming to graduation. Novels of Roald Dahl, rather nicely slightly twisted stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm, lame amazing story or not, not sure. Happened in Seville years ago:

I happened to end up to some bar in Seville, and happened to end up to some circle of unknown random people chatting. On the corner of my eye I saw a very pretty girl looking towards me and smiling. I continued chatting with the random people but quite distracted from conversation and mostly gazing at the girl. There seemed to be something in the air.

After a while, the girl walked at me and asked with broken English: "Hello, where are you from? Would you like to meet my husband?" Well, not quite what I expected (hoped) but sure I could meet her husband. She introduced me to her husband by the bar desk and I spent rest of the evening conversating & drinking with the husband.

He didn't speak virtually any English and all I found out that he was a "Helicopter King". Our conversation was just by using hands and guessing words, with my little knowledge of Spanish and his little on English. Nevertheless, enjoyed the evening and the wife dropped by smiling pretty every now and then.

Amazed how sincerely curious people can be and amazed that how little language is needed if you really want to interact with someone.

Well, hope this a bit philosophical amazement story passes for now. Saves me from writing, "I was born...", hah.
