CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know myself a little bit better through encounters with the rest of the world - that means you too.

ABOUT ME

I'm 23 years old. I love my life.

I'm leaving my country in September 2010, and I'll be away for nine months. Granada, Spain, is my destination and studying will be my occupation - apart from just enjoying myself and sensing and taking part in the life around me...

I can't wait!

PHILOSOPHY

Language, and the thing that makes it unique; the culture of the people, is something that is very precious. I like to talk to the world, hear it respond and understand it.

If you take this to a personal inner level, this is kind of what dancing and just moving means to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been around and know how different we all are. I think I can participate in this by welcoming everybody by not judging the new.

Music, Movies, and Books

Electronic music/soul/r&b, beats, vibes... Swedish artists "JJ" and "Koop" stole my heart once, "Fat Freddy's Drop" from New Zealand stole my heart twice.

I also have a weak spot for Brazilian and African music.

Movies: Almodóvar is a genius.
Of the more popular movies "No Country for Old Men" and "Stranger than Fiction" really surprised me.

Books: "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, "The Curios Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" by Mark Haddon, "100 colpi di spazzola prima di andare a dormire" and "L'odore del tuo respiro" by Melissa Panarello.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding a small horse galloping down the hills of Chamula, Chiapas in Mexico. My first time on a horse without anyone holding the harness and I was smiling and laughing all the way.

And a school trip to Lapland in Northern Sweden/Norway. Very hike, very down to basics, very tough = very amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Whatever inspires the rest of the world is interesting to me, really. And what makes the world smaller but at the same time shows the diversity in its habitants is that knowing about you, him, her and them and what makes us all teachers.

I think I can teach people to love dancing. It's not about being the best and most graceful, just feel yourself in the music and it will eventually feel (and maybe even look) great!
