About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see how a flute plays a man and visceversa

ABOUT ME

It's difficult to say you things about me coming from my own sight. Just facts: I'm doing graduate studies, which is a perfect combination for the things I like: traveling (with all the advantages implied, as you know)and try to understand living (and no living) systems, learn something! One of my weaknesses is dancing. Life goes fast and I want to live it and be active, at the same time I want to make my part in this collective journey.

PHILOSOPHY

How would you like to spend your live?
In most of the situations you have two options, and you know the one you'd like. Why people choose the other?
Watch, search, run...far...fly!!!!!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have participated in CS events , hosted and also crashed couches. When possible I meet people for coffee or show around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already had CS meetings and parties, enjoyed of the hospitality of great hosts in multiple destinations.

Interests

Almost everybody loves music (I haven't find anyone that dislikes it) and I'm open to all the styles. The ones I enjoy the most: Depending on the mood but I will have classical and world music at home, rock and jazz at work and some latin at the dance floor (they say I'm good on this). Very often a mix of everything at anytime. As for entertainment, I enjoy music festivals, walks, hiking, biking, kayaking, sitting on the park, people watching, all sorts of theater and performances, mainly contemporary, classical and flamenco dancing, contemporary circus (no animals involved please), exhibitions and it goes on.... I'm into films too, foreign movies from all over the world (European cinema is my favorite).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once walked during one hour in the middle of the jungle with the eyes covered,guided by one person. Touching, smelling, breathing, hearing....
I was bitten by a rattle snake, luckily not me, but my boot! Otherwise I probably ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn flute. Learn about the people, as much as possible. I just have an opportunity to do it. I am glad to show all the aspects of my country, how to cook some dishes I've learned during my travels. If you have a nerdy side then will tell you crazy histories about parasites, climate change, forests, ecology and satellites.
