CURRENT MISSION

To remain grateful for every moment of awareness in this amazing life full of endless possibilties!

ABOUT ME

I'm kind, considerate, and respectful. I like to make the most of any situation. I love to laugh and believe it's an important daily supplement. Adventure courses through my veins. You'll just have to meet me, these personal descriptions never do any justice:)

PHILOSOPHY

"May we have the dignity of desperate hope. May we have the courage to be alone and the bravery to risk being together, because it serves nothing to have a tooth outside its mouth, nor a finger away from its hand. May we be able to be disobedient every time we receive orders that humiliate our conscience or violate our common sense. May we be so persistent as to continue believing, against all evidence, that the human condition is worth it, because we have been poorly made, but we are not finished. May we be capable of continuing to walk the paths of the wind, despite falls and betrayals and defeats, because history continues, beyond us, and when it says goodbye, it is saying: until later. May we be able to maintain the certainty that it is possible to be a compatriot and contemporary of all those who live animated by the will for justice and the will for beauty, wherever it arises, whenever it lives, because the maps of the soul and of time have no frontiers."
- Eduardo Galeano

"Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world. In our endeavor to understand reality we are somewhat like a man trying to understand the mechanism of a closed watch. He sees the face and the moving hands, even hears its ticking, but he has no way of opening the case. If he is ingenious he may form some picture of a mechanism which could be responsible for all the things he observes, but he may never be quite sure his picture is the only one which could explain his observations. He will never be able to compare his picture with the real mechanism and he cannot even imagine the possibility or the meaning of such a comparison."
-Albert Einstien and Leopold Infeld, 1938 The Evolution of Physics

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host and surf. It is in connecting with people that we are able to truly appreciate and experience a place and its culture with all the intricate subtleties that make it rich. It is in sharing our perspectives and our abundance that we enrich one another.
