I’m Rodrigo, 36 years old and raised in a neighbour at the south of Buenos Aires.
I’m traveling around Brazil, a place that called me for years me with its weather, landscapes, dance and mood.
I spent most of the last year in a small town in rural Bolivia called Samaipata. There I looked after and repaired houses, installed internet on an alternative school in a mountain and coordinated a vision for the development of the local tourism, but mainly I had time for me, my personal work, exploration and deconstruction. I also cooked, danced, massaged, made friends and exercised a lot.
Before that I worked for 10+ around technology and project management, from big companies to small cooperatives, and participated in social projects related with education, employment, communitary communications and technology. I hold a degree as Information Systems Engineer.

My daily practice is something like active meditation, which mainly means regular observation of my own thoughts (plans, opinions...), physical sensations and emotions. From there I trust in the alignment and healing that comes from becoming aware and accept things as they are.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I like to couchsurf as a way of having more opportunities to share myself and experiencing places introduced by locals.

Интересы

Practiced yoga for some years, discovering tango and dancing as a connection with body, food and energy conciousness (vegan, vegetarian, organic, fair trade). Involved in social projects related with culture (abogados culturales), alternative education (dementes libres), inclusion (proyecto Nahual, rizomatica).

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'd like to teach and learn about physical activities like yoga, acroyoga or others. I can share about tango and traditional argentinian dances (like chacarera and zamba), and would love to learn and share any other.
