CURRENT MISSION

Fearless yet gentle living.

ABOUT ME

I am a very simple person, complex but not complicated. I love to read and to travel, to talk to people and to listen.

Biking is great, coffee is great, strolling around is great. life and love, drawing and writing. there we go. I am a Human Ecologist and have been working in DC since 2011, moving between USA and South/Central America (mainly El Salvador, where home is). Working in different initiatives regarding popular education, land, agriculture, indigenous rights, communities of resistance, self governance, permaculture, etc

I am currently teaching at the first bilingual & green school in DC. When I am not at work I ride my bike, explore the city, visit friends, concerts, visit museums, chill at parks, camp.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a garden where beauty and chaos flourish, we navigate through it with passion and sensibility. We grow with every season.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed when traveling in Southern France, loved it. In the past years I have been lucky to have friends all over and have stayed with them.

I like to think as "surfers" as new friends, new stories and memories.
