About Me

Mainly i am loud and I laugh a lot! I love to discover new cultures, share travel stories, debate on political issues, and stop to realize that this planet is full of love. I think traditional craft, music and rituals are cool!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love Couchsurfing, it is like surfing the social winds, meeting local communities and helping me to plot the next travel!

Music, Movies, and Books

music: word music... all that is good, with a rhythm, a history, a smile, a story to tell, a feeling to convey, a culture to portray... all that is felt and non commercialized… (I hate pop! I like mongolian throat singing, sufi chanting, andalousian hymns, cultural fusions, african beats, jazz, blues and gospel... )

movies: lyrical, simple, non hollywood, world cinema, magically real, symbolic, poetic. (tarkovski, kiarostami, angolopoulos, bergman, kurusawa, makhmalbaf, kusturika…)

books: lately spiritual, anthropological, travel guides or political magazines. I must confess, I am not reading as many novels as I did as a teenager and I miss it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

keep going with a smile i guess. or meditated in the pyramids..

Teach, Learn, Share

wherever you go, there are amazing people to discover, they are a minority, but once you found them, you are home. love the road, it will teach you..
