Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Studying and travelling through the U.S. and after that finishing my masters in Anthropology.
PHILOSOPHY
Everything is relative.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think it's a great way to travel and meet new people. Everyone has his own experiences, we might as well learn from each other.
Interests
MUSIC
-listening to almost any genre of music
-used to play the drums, but haven't played in a long time
-playing acoustic guitar and singing (not great though)
HUMAN be(com)ings
-We're all the same because we share being human, but yet there's so much diversity. Everyone has their own stories and past experiences that shape how they orient in the present and see the future. We can learn so much from talking too each other, because probably no one has it all figured out.
-From a more academic point of view I'm very interested in all the sciences that study the human condition in different ways (philosophy, sociology, psychology, history, literature, art, anthropology,...)

The comming of Joachim Stiller (Hubert Lampo), The picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde), The old man and the sea (Ernest Hemmingway), the alchemist (paulo coelho), ...
