About Me

CURRENT MISSION

PATAGONIA

ABOUT ME

I want MOVEMENT! I seek progress and adore different cultures. Also, I don't like boxes or binaries (black/white, female/male, gay/straight) I love bare feet and people who eat with their hands... Tactile experiences. Dialectics. Classic dualistic oppositions and the unity within opposites (squaring the circle). I am Anti-Consumerism/Capitalism/Monoculture. I try to suffocate my own ego as much as possible and submit myself daily to all of the potentials of this life.

I love nature. Exploring without leaving a footprint! I am a foodie and a very good cook! Learning about Astronomy ! Try to be a positive influence for my immediate community. Volunteer as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

"What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life." -Foucault.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Extending myself to you is an expression of trust. We ought to try that more often. This is a safe space.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Honestly, I hate to say this... but I've experienced nothing but fall through situations or blatant flakes while relying on CL during my travel experiences. Not once has this site worked out to my advantage.

I hope to offset that by offering candid communication and thoroughness in my approach. If I can host you, I'll do it! If I can't, I won't say I will.
